You have a pretty small sample size to declare that the method does not work. Are you a teacher? Have you tried it?

I don't use the flipped classroom but I understand it. It takes a LOT of training and a LOT of work. You need a really good classroom teacher to make it work and what is done in the classroom is very different from what is traditionally done.

If all that is being done is that lectures are being taped and then it is just a Q&A during classtime, then it is being done wrong.
