Or people who know how design these platforms are not going to sign up to work at a floundering studio when they can get massive salaries somewhere else.

You don't even need a massive salary. They probably just want to work at a competent company.

That too. But generally, tech types who know they can cash in big are going to gravitate toward the money if they’re being sought after.

There's a million pirated online streaming sites that are community created that far exceed any single one of these companies UIs
