What do IPTV services use for backend storage?

by TimGuyUK

Running my own plex server I can easily get TBs of videos without trying. What are IPTV services doing for their VOD? Im sure I remember reading (maybe on here) that some services used unlimited google drives, are most doing anything clever like that or are they using good old physical server(s) with a truck load of drives? The cost of cloud hosting storage must be massive?

The biggest lie perpetuated, " causing financial losses in the hundreds of billions"

Most use physical dedicated servers

IPTV services pay for servers.. thats why they charge people money

Free garbage apps use free file lockers, thats why they are free, and generally suck

They run their own servers for VOD and they are rips. I highly doubt they use google drive.
