I have neither the time, nor the inclination to do so for people that are not likely to be persuaded to change their position.

Can you explain why you think that is Netflix problem? I should think that it is a problem being experienced by persons who deliberately chose to accept the risk that Internet congestion may be a problem for the path upon which they have deliberately chosen to embark. That Risk might now come to fruition and those persons should be activating their pre-planned mitigation. If their pre-planned mitigation was "well, Netflix can shut down", then they had (hopefully) defective mitigation planning. Perhaps in the future they will do a better job of assessing Risk and mitigating that Risk. -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
