welcome to the modern world
they now have competition, and that competition is kicking their ass
can't beat chad amazon

The crazy thing is that video stores were going downhill way back in 1994 when Clerks came out, over 20 years ago.

The modern world is gay and not comfy

The modern world is cheap and convenient. Much like your mum.

it's just a bunch of things anon, don't take it so seriously

Blockbuster in 2004 had like 84k employees and 9000 stores.

They went bankrupt less than a decade later.

And interestingly, they could have bought Netflix easily in the early days but they didn't want to get into mail order stuff

i haven't had a blockbuster or other video store since like 2006

lol one of my early memories as a child was walking like 9km (almost 2 hours) through the city to get to a Blockbuster to play on their N64 because we had no consoles at home and the computer was password protected in a locked bedroom and my mom was always home. I was 7 at the time. The fucking faggot clerk recognized me somehow and called my mom, who picked me up. I was punished severely because apparently the city was dangerous and I could have been kidnapped. I only got to play for like 30 minutes, too. I had a plan to slap chewing gum in that faggot's long hair and run if I ever saw him again.

He's kinda responsible for you
If he didn't call your mom he would get in trouble
