      iPlayer was actually one of the first streaming TV services and it launched just as Netflix was getting into streaming some of its DVD titles.

    This doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with KBIN, and is just a link-to-a-link, including the now-broken hashtag.

    The sequence of events:

    A user from kbin.projectsegfau.lt posts the news to kbin.social
    Another user from kbin.social cross-posts the Project-SF-post-to-kbin.social here
