Interesting.

I've never thought to use GridFS for this. Missing in your article is a reason why someone would do this instead of using object storage like S3. Its important so that some new developers who stumble upon this article don't rush to implement this as an actual solution without understanding the cost/performance benefits of a solution like this.

With this, you can make your own basic YouTube or Netflix app!

This is a bit misleading and I think you should definitely explain realistic use cases for this method.

Otherwise great article and I've learned something new!
