Then they were slow to integrate their services and market effectively
Also, I get to go to an intimate bday gathering for a dude who up until recently treated me with utter disdain. Yay...
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

I am finding the Irish punk on the jukebox oddly comforting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Suddenly there were kids that were cooler than Blockbuster. At the same time as Netflix (and Redbox?) was driving them out of business, they'd just closed up most of the mom and pop shops. So you hate them because they're big box shopping, and then when time passes and you forget that, you hate them because they can't resist the onslaught of the next wave.
Did anyone bother to hate Hollywood Video? Poor sods.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sadly, I don't have a Costco membership anymore. Possibly not that sadly, since I am just now eating the last of the mac and cheese I bought there literally years ago.

At least when people bag on my industry it's not te part I work for...and I usually agree with them. Though it does drive me batty when people get it wrong.

Being locked up in studio contrcts didn't help. Also not recognizing the had radically different customer bases. It's angry making to those of us on the online side. Management set us up for infighting.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Irish punk!
I think that's all I have to contribute right now. But I mean it!

Is it strange that I'd rather talk to you guys than my table of friends out back?

It's all Netflix's fault. They made slavering fanboys (I'm one of them), and suddenly the world was a very different place.

I don't think it's their fault at all. I eat up all kinds of media. I think we did all the things I said above, and I think there's a place for everyone. Competition good!
