#3The tech is cool, but it seems like the main result of having such a pipeline is that Netflix has been able to produce an incredible amount of low-effort schlock that mostly lacks soul and artistic merit.

#4Having a dozen different VFX departments using different file transfer methods like FTP seems like a nightmare. But then I realized that the banks do this, and probably worse.
There's one that uses Gmail to exchange documents (not financial, but important nonetheless) and uses the read receipt to determine if it has ingested the data. Replaying ingestion is marking unread.

This is a sign they need deep reform and good management. Many such cases in technology these days.

The only part of that that seems crazy to me is the Gmail part. I’d want to control the mail server.

I remember reading once how all Netflix content is really meant for phones or smaller screens. Simple shots, not much background detail, lots of face closeups etc.
I remember when being made by Netflix was a unique and cool thing, it didn’t last long until it meant probably-slop.

I barely even remember the last one that I watched let alone enjoyed. I guess it was Arcane which is a total fluke.

That was probably the plan. Except they probably expect a higher fluke rate.
