>>Netflix did but hardly use it now

Unless I misunderstood you, Netflix delivers all video content via FreeBSD and contributes code back and money to the foundation.






I had read they were migrating to Linux but I could be wrong. I just never hear much about Netflix in FreeBSD circles.

If they still use it they are more of a user than an influencer in its development.


They use it and influence its development. You can search freebsd git repo, you'll see Netflix all over it for many years Including 2025. They've added many large features across the code base.
