Funny to think back on all those HN/Reddit stock threads parroting “anyone can put a video on a CDN Netflix is doomed lmao” as if being responsible for a double digit percentage of the entire internet’s bandwidth was some intern project.

The real hard part was always customer acquisition and retention.

I got free apple tv+ with an ipad I bought and I couldn't find a reason to keep it after the free trial ran out.

I roam different video services, switching every month or two. I don't have time to need all the services at once anyways.
