> Streaming, encoding, and storage demands enormous costs -- especially at scale When you look at costs per unit, then it gets cheaper at scale, not more expensive. For streaming, at scale you can afford to do peering yourself, instead of buying bandwidth. For encoding, at scale you can afford special purpose encoding hardware, instead of using general purpose hardware. For storage, at scale you can get cheap bulk deals with drive manufacturers.
