As soon as chaos monkey cause a service interrupt for, say, traders - it would get turned off and whoever had such a bright idea fired. But if it causes a service interruption for a tiny proportion of people watching streaming videos - no big deal. Its proponents just ignore this practical reality and seem politically unaware.
