I am so tired of streaming and Everything-as-a-Service.

I miss Blockbuster and the 90s/early 00s. Granted I’m looking at it from a nostalgic perspective as I was a kid/teen, but it sure was nice and didn’t feel predatory. Maybe there wouldn’t have been rate hikes if it was Blockbuster vs Red Box, but in this era? Yeah Blockbuster would have enshittified.
