The last blockbuster store is closing. Should I weep? I don't think so. They should have seen the writing on the
wall. They should have known their
business model was almost finished.
They, along with DVD distribution companies, soaked us long enough. They had their late fees, and high prices for
new releases. They got their money, they
just forgot to get out of the game while the getting was good.
Now we have Netflix, or other semi legal (and semi illegal)
options. There is another option. The one I use is the library. The library has lots of DVD's right now. This may not last forever, but it should be
good for a while. Unfortunately, nobody
cleans the DVD's at the library, and people who get things for free don't treat
them well. Why respect anyone property
if you don't have to (insert sarcastic indignation here).
What will the future bring?
Good question. I don't know, but
I do know I will not be weeping because Blockbuster didn't adapt to the times.
