The last couple of times I went to a Redbox, I felt like all the movies were knock offs. To be fair, I have no idea if this is because they were or because I don’t really watch advertisements and have no idea what’s out.
300 million dollars of debt accrued per year. How are they losing so much money? Isn’t the point of Redbox that it has nearly 0 overhead? I’m imagining a field in Nebraska with kiosks arranged in identically spaced rows of length indescribable, warping along with the light whose freedom they’ve stolen. The crimson horde stand in opposition to the very nature of space, a concatenation in both part and whole, clawing at the space where sanity ends and reason begins.
And even then, their overhead would only be like $53 per month.
They more than likely took loans out to buy tbe dvds in bulk instead of paying up front. That’s why everyone in hollywood is owed money, they paid a bit up front and then promised the rest later.
Them concatenations need maintenance and service persons for that crimson horde.
I used to rent dvds from them regularly. Then one day I rented a dvd, got home, and discovered that someone had photocopied the barcode, put it on a blanc disc, returned that, and kept the dvd for themselves. While redbox customer service was able to refund my money, I stopped renting through them before too much longer.
How can they still operate with 1B in debt? There’s no way they are ever going to be able to repay that in a reasonable time frame
If they’re gonna go outta business soon, I better keep an eye on this. I could get some real cheap movies, even though I doubt there will be anything I’d watch. I could relive the days where my family was able to keep a physical DVD from back in the ancient times when Netflix was not a streaming service.
Edit: Netflix was a scam artist even back then! Brought this up with my mother and she said Netflix charges us for the price of the DVD!
That’s the function of my NAS, the bonus is it holds significantly more movies and doesn’t cost anything to rent 🏴☠️
I think the implication was they wanted the actual physical part, not just access to lots of movies
Just check ebay, most movies that are a few years old can be found for under $5 shipped. I still go back to DVD/Bluray copies of my favorite movies sometimes since content changes so often on streaming services.
