    Aw man, I liked informing people that they technically could still order DVDs through them. Now I’ll have to find some other random tidbit.

    Sucks. I liked using it to watch seasons of shows instead of signing up for multiple streaming platforms. Off to the high seas, I guess.

    The last service that could offer any movie, regardless of which studio distributed it. Disney movies next to A24, all on one service.

    Too bad we’ve given up the right of first sale in the streaming age.
