    They are, though. They went from taking on a bloated old way of doing things and getting massive good will for a respectful approach to customers to being so successful they decided that they were ready to be the bloated old way of doing things. It’s remarkable how similar a trajectory cable and streaming have had.

      Such is life in a world where infinite growth is expected for a business to be considered successful.

        Yeah like if they’d just stopped at their peak and held, everyone would be happier. But they’ve got to push it over the edge to milk those last few bil before they crash

      Honestly? I think that’s taken from a library. The shelving is what you normally see in libraries, the cases on the left side of the screen have white stickers down on the bottom where they typically are for books, and a lot of libraries are lending out DVDs now. My city even has a 3D printer at multiple branches and has had them for years.

      Libraries are awesome.
