I miss video and dvd rental stores, more so video stores for those in my parts held a far greater range of titles, and generally generous weekly rental terms.

I'd definitely have a bigger dvd collection but for the fact many tv series and movie just didn't become available in Australia due to production issues like music rights.

Baring cooking and reality / docu type shows, I also think the change from where many tv series were 20 plus episodes per series has finally had an impact of viewer consumption.

It's always like this. It's always that the site won't play in HD let alone 4k, it won't let me turn off dumb settings, it won't let me guess 4:3 content without cutting it off... They've really ruined a silver platter. Just play the stupid video. We gave you the money. Just play the video, from your server, on my computer. It's all already pirated and stolen anyway, so I just don't get the point. I can screen share a DVD over discord with friends. Truly infuriating how terrible they've made a dumb video player.
