    Yeah, I skipped the more ambiguous ones. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube etc will distribute their content via the web. So they’re kinda webservers. Though the infrastructure which feeds in cable TV aren’t. It’s complicated.

      Do you realise that the market has also become one huge server ?

        What do you mean by that? Centralization of the internet? And an uptake in capitalism, to a degree that it’s now a handful of companies and providers who do the lion’s share of everything? Sure, that’s been happening since 2010 or so, plus minus a few years.
        It’s not one huge server, though. They’ll have datacenters all across the globe.

          Centralisation of the internet is another topic altogether, and a very interesting one.

          Here’s what l mean : https://cafe.coffee-break.cc/c/nostupidquestions/p/41334/the-market-is-turning-into-a-giant-server
