Interesting fact.

Blockbuster had the opportunity to acquire Netflix but didn’t because Blockbusters revenue came from late fees.

They saw Netflix as loss of a revenue stream therefore didn’t make the acquisition.

Why would they judge you for renting a video? Let me guess - you rented Steel Magnolias, Beaches and Eat, Pray, Love so many times you could recite all the lines by heart?
Simple. For da boys at the pub - we don't rent videos.

We make them.

Bezos also tried to buy Netflix a few months after they launched but they rejected him.

Ahh pornography .. I was so naive back in the day.. I remember watching one with my mate..it was one of his dad’s.. Anyway we are watching, and it gets to a certain point, and I innocently turn to my mate and said, “ Are they gunna have sex? “ He turned and looked at me with a deadpan face and said, “Mr 95%, it’s a porno..” I replied, “Oh yeah, yeah of course..”
