We can all debate the quality of Netflix or Prime but the cost is about the same as renting a VHS tape from Blockbuster once a week 20 years ago. Not even adjus

- unixgoddess 4y agoa big difference is that you could find vhs and dvds in public libraries, whereas the library model breaks apart for streamed media.
- goosedragons 4y agoMy library does actually have streaming movies and TV. But the comparison of what they have available to stream vs take out physically on DVD and Blu-ray just highlights how messed up it is. You will struggle to find a movie you've heard from the past 10 years, you will struggle to find a good movie from the past 30. Meanwhile the physical library has recent new releases and stuff you've actually heard of and want to watch.
- throwaway8689 4y agoAgree. I'd go to Blockbuster for block busters and the library or an independent video rental store for art house and foreign language films.
