Isn't it a bit strange that after so many years, Netflix's player is as basic as anything? Even YouTube offers more. Yeah I'm sure Netflix has all sorts of non-visible stuff to make it work well but it's like they don't even consider the player to be a place they can deliver features.
I really want companies to stop stuffing features into their product.
I want them to develop something that works, and works very well, and then optimise it carefully.
Nice to have but non essential features should be offered in an experimental, unsupported, panel. "Try this, you might like it, but it might not work and we don't provide any support if it doesn't work".
There's a long list of software that was good, that improved to be great, and then continued to "improve" and became huge buggy laggy messes.
OK. But Netflix doesn't even have a decent player. No audio boost. No picture controls. Doesn't even have subtitle controls. I mostly don't use Netflix (their selection went to hell and they seem intent on shoving 1-star stuff in my face) but on the rare occasion I do, it's generally subpar. They're at no risk of turning terrible.
