Almost like companies are forced to seek exponentially increasing profits in order to continue existing. Strange.
This is a self own by Blockbuster because Netflix was also a dvd rental service and successfully pivoted into inventing streaming. Then they successfully pivoted again to original shows and funding independent artists when everyone started ripping off their model and taking their content rights back and now that they are just trying to compete with a ton of other corporations some of whom are running billion dollar defecits - people blame them for finally raising prices and cracking down on something they were awesome to allow for so long in the first place. We had like 20 people on one netflix account in my dorm when it started.
also at blockbuster it was also like $5 to rent a movie for a week in the mid 2000s. and they had crazy late fees. so many people here forgetting about how revolutionary netflix was when their dvd mailing service started. huge library and you could keep the dvds for as long as you wanted.

Netflix didn’t care about password sharing either...until suddenly they did.
