Why should they catering to such an audience in first place?

I think this could be one of upsells that Netflix could use.

Or, hear me out here, it's a wild concept, just work.

You know, like every other broadcaster, streaming platform, and company that does live content has been able to do.

Acting like this is a novel, hard problem that needs to be solved and we need to "upsell" it in tiers because Netflix is incompetent and live broadcasting hasn't been around for 80+ years is so fucking stupid.

Every other live platform has a delay of multiple seconds
