Netflix's user experience has always been bad, and it's worse than ever. Engineers also don't make content, so if they're doing any good, I guess it's backend.

I wouldn't say it's bad, but they could certainly learn something from YouTube. Even with very sketchy wifi, I rarely get buffering for YT.
If you turn on "stats for nerds" in YouTube you can see the buffer size and how it is refilled, graphically. I noticed that last week. Sort of neat.
