Re:The Fight for Patent-Unencumbered Media Codecs Is Nearly Won by ComputerGuru on Friday January 12, 2018 @01:22PM (#16135020)
Not really. It’s the long tail. The most popular videos are (in addition to likely being ultra resolution like vevo media’s) watched many (8-10?) orders of magnitude more times than the least popular videos. Bandwidth matters, cpu doesn’t.

It’s actually the same 80-20 rule. Eighty percent of the costs come fro serving twenty percent of their videos:)
