They don’t develop any particularly incredible tech aside from the one their whole product is based around and enabled them to be an industry leader 🙈
Yeah but, it’s just one product, the rest of FAANG have multiple gooses that lay down golden eggs
Except Netflix uses AWS. Which makes it Amazon’s achievement.
Literally all Netflix did was get streaming rights before streaming was mainstream, grow because of it, have everyone drive off into the sunset with said rights and make it all shittier.
All Netflix offers these days is 2 season shows that end on a cliffhanger, concerning controversies that make the industry worse as a whole, and Sony movies because Sony doesn’t have their own streaming service for some reason.
Most of the internet uses AWS. Facebook uses AWS. Apple uses AWS. Should they not be a FAANGs then? What are you even getting at? Let’s not act like Netflix has no engineers and that it’s actually all completely Amazon’s engineering work. Like if you’re seriously insinuating Netflix doesn’t have any technical achievements idk what to say
Why not list even a single one of these incredible achievements?
Oh you know, there’s that one, and that one, and that other one
The main point the original comment made was that their “groundbreaking achievement” was their storage and streaming… which isn’t really their achievement.
Netflix’s technical achievement of DRM is Microsoft’s god awful silverlight bs.
Their achievement was being first and showing what streaming could have been. Now that all the big companies have divided off into their own direction, Netflix had to rely on their own content. And Netflix’s original content has become hollow, hype-bait, and frustrating.
