This. And it seems the cost of networking is on the rise. Not per kb of course, but relative to the media economy at play. I don't see how a small player can enter the market: - creators expect no fees or a low fee and no ads - viewers now expect 1080p or even 4k option, and 60 frames/s. Thanks h265, but even with the best compression out there the math doesn't add up to make a profit. Perhaps that comes down to the fact feeding data is more expensive, even as a business and at scale, than to pull data as an individual with a home broadband. Unless you are Google, aws, or cloudflare and have leverage over other networks providers. Decentralized solutions is our last hope. I say hope because it still isn't quite working performance-wise for the use case of streaming.
