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:
BBC launches a Mastodon instance at social.bbc here
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

Yes, this is my first time linking to a Fediverse post so I didn't quite know how it would go. That was different lol.
