No disrespect meant to their engineering team, because I actually think Netflix does a much better job and produces less buggy software than any other streaming app, but the hard part is acquiring and/or creating a catalog worth subscribing to. The quality of the user experience is overwhelmingly determined by the quality of what they're watching.
This is the basic reason why, though I'm sure they pay the engineers "well," they're not getting the $500 million deals the high profile writers and directors are getting.
