True.
Scaling to - say - Paramount+ size should not be difficult if you're willing to pay AWS / Azure / GCP 10-100x what it would cost to serve it yourself (which in many cases actually makes sense).
It's possible at Netflix's size, they couldn't just run on AWS anymore. Though, given enough lead time and a realistic growth curve - I'm sure it's feasible.
Obviously scaling manufacturing is not a solved problem like (realistically) scaling network and compute usage.
