I wonder how much of Netflix infra is on AWS. Feels like building a castle on someone else's kingdom at that scale; in light of the Prime Video investment, and I guess twitch too.
And more importantly none of this is required. Pornhub pushes more video data on far more unreliable connections without any of this madness. This is purely a play to get the tech company multiple. Nothing else. This is Wework style coverup.
People might be more tolerant to quality issues for pornhub‘s content than Netflix‘s.
