I believe this is inaccurate, Netflix was streaming from AWS in their early years IIRC.

I have worked at Netflix.

The history is that mainly they used well-known CDNs for streaming, followed by their OpenConnect CDN network now. AWS has always been used for metadata.

I'm not aware of them streaming from AWS, though it's possible a development group there did a test or something temporarily.
