I've always wondered why the need for ABR...

Article mentions droppping from 1080p to 360p like it's a feature, but I would say its horrible to do that...

If I'm watching a movie or listening to music I don't want random switches to poor quality or lower resolution and associated glitches.

I'd much rather see the spinning wheel and complain to my provider that I'm not getting what I paid for or check what's going wrong.

I can understand various resolutions and codecs based on user preferences and devices but that's a fixed choice.

Am I in the minority here?
