Classic Error of huge proportions!

Back in the 90's Netflix set a meeting with Blockbuster Video. Netflix offered to sell to Blockbuster. Blockbuster laughed them out of their office saying Netflix would never make it and they were not wasting their money. Well today Blockbuster is gone and Netflix is going strong. Take a look at what Netflix is doing now.

I subscribe to HBO. I wonder if they will add their library of movies to HBO.

Right now HBO is pretty lame. I only kept it for Game of Thrones and Bill Maher.

I used to also have Cinemax and I think Showtime long ago. But I dropped those long ago, too.

I have yet to sign up for anything like Netflix.

I mostly just watch YouTube on my TV now.

Fantastic...for them, but sorry how does that help me?

@Wol62 Hopefully it will give you more content to watch.

I do miss the good ole days.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@minoltaguy I do too. I use to love walking around the video store picking out a good movie. 😊

I wonder if this means I won't have to pay extra for HBO? Will probably jack up the price of my subscription to pay for the acquisition.

@JoyfulSilence I don't blame you. I hope they add all the Warner Brothers classic movies. I think what we all want is more and different content.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@JoyfulSilence Thank you very much 🙂 I would love it if I don't have to upgrade my plan. I definitely don't want to pay $1100 either. Google will sell me a unlocked one for $800, but I don't want to pay that much either. Sorry, but I am frugal.

@Musicman

In my case I had no choice. My phone was literally popping apart. Somebody noticed and said he used to sell phones and that my battery might explode. The Verizon salesperson did not seem worried. But the phone was nearly 10 years old, so it was time!

Maybe my current new one will last 10 years, too!

My next purchase will likely be a new computer. My current tower is 13 years old! So old I cannot upgrade Windows anymore.

@JoyfulSilence Our laptop was 10 years old. We just bought a new Lenovo. I have never kept a phone for 10 years. I have never had a battery last that long either. My 6 is four years old. Four years is pretty good for me.

They still bite. The Obamas own a huge share of their company, so when you watch Netflix, you are helping to support their mansion on Martha's Vineyard.

Netflix was the company that was involved in releasing a pedophile-like film showing little girls being taken advantage of and sexualized by their beauty pageant mothers and by the pageants themselves.

AND, if you want to watch films and series that just can't climb up out of the WOKE quagmire, you've found your niche.

@4meAndyou I don't like any of that stuff. I am more into the Gray Man and stuff like that.
The only diff is that Netflix was smart enough to see DVD was going the way of the dodo

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP And Hollywood Video was extremely short sighted. They could have fat paychecks and be running Netflix right now instead of being unemployed.
