If Baidu, Tencent, Cloudflare etc are "low hanging fruit" then Netflix is an even lower hanging fruit. It's just a streaming service. Even Twitch has a wider audience than them. Which is the reason I was confused why you brought those two up specifically, instead of the bigger players who are way more ubiquitous.
Invidition is just a wrapper. Doesn't solve the larger problem which is what's happening on the server. Last time I tried it YouTube was completely broken because Google changed a tiny little thing.
- Fnoord 7y agoObviously Netflix is low hanging fruit. Its just that people use the term GAFAN sometimes, and sometimes GAFAM. I don't know the exact logic of why using one or the other, so I did mention Netflix and Microsoft. Twitch is Amazon. I'm aware of wrapper usage. I just use youtube-dl from CLI whenever I see a YouTube linked referenced which should interest me.
