This is true. Netflix famously didnt use some complex neural net for choosing shows you'd like exactly because it didnt scale. Neural nets are expensive and if you can sacrifice a few percentages to save hundreds of millions in server fees, it's probably good.

just to be clear: i'm not saying neural networks don't scale, i'm saying they're not the only class of learning algorithm that scales.
