Blockbuster nostalgia is weird. They had the worst selection, worst prices, terrible vibes and their late fees could legitimately bankrupt you. Back in the day they were universally hated, you went there if you had to. F tier experience. Local mom and pops were slightly better but it's rare that people actually hung out at one of thee kinds of places unless you knew an employee. Big cities had some exceptions (I Luv Video in Austin) but mostly 90s style video rental places going away is fine and dandy.

I dunno. There’s something to be said for having less choice.

less choice in a bad way. the way rural towns have less choice in food so you have to eat a gas station chicken wing instead of even a KFC

But if you always have the option to eat the same consistently mid KFC you never have the opportunity to bond over how shit those gas station chicken wings were on your road trip last summer. 

And you miss out on the joy of discovering an unexpected gem.
