I don't know anybody who actually liked Blockbuster. We went from 6 or so mom and pop video rental places in town to 2 Blockbusters. It sucked.

Myspace also didnt buy Facebook when they had the chance. This is why buying crypto is so important

The real winner of that situation is Tom from MySpace. Fucker literally sold the top of the MySpace bubble. He never had any evil Jew domination dreams like Zuckercuck, he just made it and left the scene.

Also remember a 2 man operation Bebo sold to Yahoo for a Billion and was worth essentially nothing years later.

Enron went down before they could get their streaming service off the ground... Which they created before netflix even existed mailing dvds. Timing and good partners are EVERYTHING in BIZNESS.

I'm pretty sure Yahoo made Mark Cuban rich by buying his shitty domain name. Now Cuban gets to LARP as a genius businessman all because he got lucky in a massive bubble.

and the internet would unironically be a better place because of it. MySpace was fucking cool and captured the spirit of what the internet should be, a place to dick around with friends and have fun. You could use your real name if you wanted, or you could be completely anonymous. Nothing on MySpace was ever serious business. Once Facebook became dominant thats when the line between internet and real life started to become blurred.
Not refuting your point, just saying.

So much misinfo in this thread. When Netflix approached Blockbuster they weren't even in the streaming game yet, that was years away. Netflix had nothing to offer Blockbuster they couldn't do themselves logistically. BB DID get into the disc mailing and streaming game eventually, the problem is they were crippled by the fact all their franchises were investor owned and were pissed that unlimited rentals were cutting into their profits and revolted. Tack on lousy customer service, and the cost to run brick and mortar stores and it was a recipe for decline.
Also here is the real redpill, it was actually Redbox that killed Blockbuster, not Netflix. People went to the video store to rent the latest and greatest movies which were never on Netflix streaming unless you wanted to wait a year. Why go to Blockbuster when you can rent a movie on your way out of Walgreens or Walmart? No special trips to the video store needed.

Agreed. You weren’t sharing your entire info on MySpace, just a glimpse of your ideal personality.

>oldfuck here
when I was young you could go to blockbuster and spot a single girl doing the same thing and score a movie date. Girls were lonely and vulnerable and sometimes that worked out to get you laid.
