> It is so small to the point Netflix could afford to re-encode their entire library every few months when they have new and better encoder or quality measurement matrix.

I wish they did, their current encoding for some shows is absolutely atrocious. I don't know the terminology for what I'm seeing, but for example in Stranger Things, it seems like the brightness and contrast is boosted for every n-th frame. In general, smooth motion seems to get a stuttering quality whenever Netflix touches it. I don't observe this so much with other video sources on the same device...
