> If Spotify, NetFlix, & Apple music are prioritized over streaming services by other companies

There’s a good reason why this is the case. All the major ISPs essentially worldwide have caching servers for all the major streaming service providers. Those servers sit directly at some PoP for the ISP.

This effectively removes the need for transit. Which is a win/win, for both, the ISP, and the streaming service.

IP transit at scale is not cheap.

Essentially what I’m saying is that it costs your ISP nothing to provide you with Netflix content, but it might be significantly more expensive to provide Disney+, for example.
