Why Netflix is doing it:
HDR video streaming can also consume 5% to 10% more data than SDR streaming, according to a Dolby executive (h/t: Pocket-Lint). That means there are potential bandwidth savings on offer by switching to SDR video, although this isn’t a given for every platform.
They serve less data for the same price
Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.
From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.
I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.
So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?
There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.
