Netflix also accumulates all of your watching habits and feeds it into AI while using their services.

Netflix doesn't have an ubiquitous search engine, analytic scripts on half the web sites in the world, Android, gmail, maps, youtube, and so on.

Netflix business is not to accumulate data on you and resell it, or to display ads.

Netflix was not part of the PRISM program.

Netflix is not Google.

It's just not a great argument against YouTube since "accumulates everything I do into their DB and AI" is something both services do in the name of better recommendations.
