    It’s a really interesting article about something we might not think about.

    It’d be interesting also to try to see how much money they can save by using a lower bitrate or saving energy by using less servers.

    It’s a lot of things we take for granted when we’re just watching a show and you don’t think about all the work behind it.

      Netflix definitely does a better job than its competition but the encoding is not perfect as it is, lowering it for certain material would push me away. They generally do a better job with their original content as well. Mario movie(Universal) looked like ass. Damsel (Netflix)looked quite good. Extraction 2 looked really good.
