Nowhere was the argument made that somehow Netflix was more influential than Twitter/Uber/AirBnB, but your counter-argument that somehow it's less influential because you haven't heard of/used some projects directly holds no ground.

Oh come on, they are indisputably right that Microsoft, Twitter, Uber, Airbnb, hell, even Cloudflare are more technically influential than Netflix is.
Apple and Google would make anyone's top 5, that's his point. No argument about it. Their products collectively dominate anyone's life, along with MSFT. Netflix is maybe in your top 10, top 20 for sure, but it's not up there as one of the few 'platform that everyone's lives are built on' techcos.
(Like, Netflix vs Microsoft? Seriously? For that matter, Amazon probably wouldn't be in my top 5 either, and not only because it's not mainly a tech company. I s'pose it depends how you define 'Amazon', and if you include AWS. But for Netflix there's just no argument that they win a spot there.)
What's your argument for Twitter/Uber/AirBnB being indisputably more technologically influential than Netflix? And let's please talk facts rather than opinions.
