> No, to be clear, if you add up all the companies using all the CDNs you mention you only get to about 1,000 It's very clear that he's counting companies usin

  And he's very clear there should be 100x more companies making video content. My contention is that video is a horrible way, usually, to convey information. More companies means more video. That's a pretty horrible idea, actually. Video is, except for a few areas, a horrible way to impart information. The only 'good' thing about video is that you can embed unskippable ads.

  The 1,000 was quantified as "1,000 that are doing so at any meaningful and interesting scale." With no indication for what "meaningful and interesting scale" actually means. I even asked what the criteria was for "meaningful and interesting scale" was. I received no "meaningful or interesting" response. However I was downvoted several times.

    I got a downvote for asserting that it was a horrible idea and that they'd suggested we needed 100x that. So, I quoted their post in my next reply. Maybe someone has vested invested in online video content? It really is a horrible way to communicate most of the time. It has uses, don't get me wrong. I don't see it having 100,000 useful uses, however. Every news site will be nothing but a text blurb and a video, it'll be video all the way down. It's a horrible idea.
