Yeah that competition really did demonstrate what an awful service all those media monopolies provided.
To be fair, the service they provide isn't hosting the videos, it's making them, which I assume costs a bit more
Netflix service started as hosting only.
correction.. Netflix started by mailing DVDs, even before Redbox was a thing
Ah. Analogue hosting. But they definitely didn't start producing content.
