All these engineering blog posts, distributed systems and these complex micro-services clearly didn't help with this issue.

Netflix is clearly not designed nor prepared for scalable multi-region live-streaming, no matter the amount of 'senior' engineers they throw at the problem.

This. Overly complex nonsense that they have built up is crazy and the fact that we on a tech forum agree to all of this is crazier.

It's almost like this platform has been taken over by JavaScripters completely.

Well, yes. Who would think Netflix was designed for that? They do VOD. They're only trying to move into this now.

That is an incredible way to phrase the sentiment, thank you.
