Well. There’s a reason why Netflix is successful. They spent a lot of money and time operating as a tech-heavy company before becoming a content-heavy company. Just as an example, their Open Connect appliances (<a href="https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/" rel="nofollow">https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/</a>) are an impressive piece of technology that probably needed years of research.<p>Launching a streaming service sounds simple in the paper but there are hundreds of complexities under the hood that ensure availability, speed, security, and reliability.<p>If my Netflix experience wasn't as trivially smooth as it is (from a UX point of view) I wouldn’t pay for it.
