I think it would have been interesting if Netflix had shopped around its tech stack, kind of how companies that make games can also sell game-making engines.

Maybe they could have had a huge windfall by offering to be the “AWS” behind every “$CHANNEL+” streaming service. In other words, instead of having 14 kludgey apps that all suck in at least one way, we get 14 services but with a smooth implementation.

I don’t see how content is a long-term win for them.

Coincidentally, AWS has a video streaming service already: https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/

Disclaimer: I work at Twitch, an Amazon subsidiary whose tech it's based off of.

Interesting. Does Amazon Prime Video use this service?
