Netflix’s situation is caused by their business model.
- fwip 2y agoIs it? It seems like 90% of what Netflix is (from a technical PoV), is a CDN + video playback. There's a lot more value in the content library they've negotiated and the business agreements with ISPs than there is in the software stack. Apologies if this response is delayed, 6 posts today is "too fast."
- rNULLED 2y agoNetflix now builds many of the video production tools they need to produce their own content. This now includes games as well.

- scottyah 2y agoI'm not sure anyone has access to the real data, but I've had a suspicion that Netflix is able to remain a lot more profitable due to their superior tech. Cloud hosting and streaming (not to mention labor) can get very expensive, and I think while it's easier to set up nowadays (in comparison to when they started) a lot of the other companies are burning cash to try to keep up. HBO Max (just Max now?) has always had poor streaming quality compared to netflix and I imagine they're paying a lot more for it.
