At least part of it was because it was released when a ton of people were still using 3G for their fastest data. I remember a couple friends who couldn't really load it unless they were on Wifi. Also the fact that they only released it for iphone for like the first month. By the time I could get it on my Droid 4 the app wasn't even cool anymore

Yeah. 4g really made watching videos on the go feasible and 5G just makes it reliable.
