This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

    I used to do that but it’s also frustrating, because when something new comes out, it’s just random luck if I’m on the right streaming service to watch it. Otherwise I have to wait…

    Wasn’t this supposed to be as good or better than the video rental store, where they had everything in one place?

      Blockbuster had new releases and a handful of classics. One store probably had .01% of the volume of titles on Netflix. If they even had that many.

        But now no one has all the new major releases, so in that regard it’s a worse experience.

        I also remember they had the shit knockoff movies next to the real ones to fool Grandma into getting you that “Deformers movie you like”.
