"It boggles my mind to think this game even exists"

Does it, though? Remember that this was only a couple of decades after half the country was willing to kill the other half or die trying to keep black people enslaved.

Underestimating the viciousness and stupidity of people will always leave you surprised and disappointed.

Surprise! An institute named after a megadose vitamin-C whackadoodle is pushing the idea that large doses vitamin C reduces illness duration. I'm shocked.

The answer to your question is "Because it makes business sense to do so". Whether you can understand their reasons or not, the best indicator that Netflix has good reasons to use AWS is that it continues to do so. And that will be true until the (possible) day that it doesn't anymore.

> I think the answer is Yes.

So what you're saying is that (1) Netflix is already secretly planning to move away from AWS, in which case your question is moot, or (2) everyone involved in platform decisions at Netflix is an idiot that can't do math.

A marriage counselor is someone who is trained in dealing with your particular problem.

Would you walk into, say, a car dealership and ask for programming advice? Or would you talk to someone who programs for a living?
