#72I think trust in Amazon is beginning to decline, at least in my limited circle. I've recently have had several packages from Amazon UK go missing followed by difficulties sorting it out, alongside other issues. I'm no longer sure I would trust them with high value purchases, and certainly would be wary of buying anything for consumption from them given the number of fake products floating around.
Of course, non of that will touch AWS...

#73I have loads of friends who started to cancel their netflix subs and went back to piracy because they grew tired of searching for a way to watch something legally. Now its disney, hbo, prime, whatever. Screw all of this.
All of that is way cheaper (currently) than cable.
The biggest problem is finding what you want. Need a TV Guide for streaming, so I can search for say "The Martian", and it would tell me "This is on netflix in your country", or "this isn't available on subscription, but you can rent it on amazon for x.xx or buy it on apple tv for y.yy"

Yeah but you get cancelled if you say "fagm" these days.

#75Netflix's inclusion in this list instead of Microsoft may have been the best investor-relations coup in history.
Netflix will be fine; they sell a reasonable, understandable product at a reasonable, understandable price, which makes me most confident in them by far.

+1, it's ridiculous and misleading that Netflix is still being included in this list after all this time. Netflix is a TV company. Their tech is a commodity. An important commodity, for sure, but it's not what makes them valuable. Their critical offering is their reach and programming. FAAMG (or MAAAM now, I guess?) is a sane grouping of giant companies because their critical offerings and expertise areas are their s…
Google already has a streaming service but they do it on hard mode by allowing anyone to upload content to it.

The Apple TV does this, essentially.

if you choose to go this route, jellyfin is a great privacy-respecting media server. plex is great, but requiring an email or third party account on a self-hosted app is just weird.
