More accurately, "Sell Amazon web services at the lowest possible price." Akamai who? Amazon competes primarily on price, not service.

And it means that everyone gets paid less. Netflix does NOT pay "good, really good" money for its content. They pay somewhere between "Youtube money" and "network money" for their content. I knew people on the web version of Arrested Development and they were getting the same sorts of rates I get for working with Smosh. And when you're forcing people to earn every word, you're forcing them to write serials. Long form? With a payoff at the end? That shit's dead... which means the only people who are going to play by their rules are the desperate and talentless.

I've seen this movie before. Everyone who isn't desperate or talentless bails. Ask me why I'm moving out of Hollywood.
