Streaming data like videos are sent not over TCP but UDP, UDP is fast because it does not require a three way handshake ACK/SYN/ACK/ACK/FIN.... you dont mind dropped frames in your videos which is why videos over UDP dont need ACK .
That's not correct. When you buffer your videos, they are also sent via TCP and not UDP.
For livestreams that would be correct. But implementations are different on any website..
Seriously ? We went to the trouble of making TVs that display 23.976 fps (not 25, not 24, 23.976) so that there wouldn't be any judder when playing a 24p videos, so yeah, I would mind a lot if Netflix started dropping frames when there's some packet loss on the connection.
