How is the level of talent at Netflix's competitors like Disney+, Huli, HBO Max, etc

I've heard that a big reason Netflix hires top talent because streaming is really difficult but haven't heard the same kind of things about their competitors.

I would say Netflix slightly overestimates the complexity of building a streaming service, and every other streaming app significantly underestimates the complexity.
Netflix is a tech company, everyone else is running a media company. Execs fundamentally don’t understand how to build or run a tech company.
So you see them learn in public a bit.
Netflix pays a lot because they are an incredibly lean company and compensate engineers more because of it
