The compute is getting cheap now too. By the end of this year, you'll be able to slap a couple of these in a CoLo for a few grand, and then be able to transcode hundreds of videos at once.

You'd be able to compete with 2nd tier streaming services like Nebula or Floatplane at that level.
But yeah, it's hard to get to Youtube/Netflix efficiency at a small scale, you just can't get the specialized hardware needed to do all the hardware transcoding and DMA media serving that they do. But we're getting there.
