There’s a reason why Netflix is successful. They spent a lot of money and time operating as a tech-heavy company before becoming a content-heavy company. Just as an example, their Open Connect appliances (&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;openconnect.netflix.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;openconnect.netflix.com&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;) are an impressive piece of technology that probably needed years of research.&lt;p&gt;Launching a streaming service sounds simple in the paper but there are hundreds of complexities under the hood that ensure availability, speed, security, and reliability.&lt;p&gt;If my Netflix experience wasn&amp;#x27;t as trivially smooth as it is (from a UX point of view) I wouldn’t pay for it.</text></comment>

The software in the screenshot called Open Bullet and it&amp;#x27;s basically a request builder for Selenium (ok it&amp;#x27;s more than that but you get the idea). You add in lists of usernames&amp;#x2F;passwords (from database dumps) and it runs your script. You have success&amp;#x2F;fail reporting, and that&amp;#x27;s where you get &amp;quot;Hits: 4&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Ads on the dark web for stolen Disney+ accounts&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a sellers page from shoppy.gg — not the dark web.</text></comment>
