  • Blockbuster laughed us out of their offices. We were crushed, desperate and out of options,
    But sometimes, the only way out is through.

    We laugh at those decisions like this and Yahoo rejecting buying Google for $1 million. Today, Google can find a million between the seats of one of their couches. I also passed on buying 20 shares of Tesla with my last $600 in my brokerage account for $30 per share. I came to a hair from turning that roughly $100,000. Time for me to hit the bottle!

    Of course the exact same thing is now happening to netflix. They're blowing up under their own hubris.

      And he forgot to mention blockbuster was already partnered with Enron, minyards and other companies so it was already hard enough for blockbuster to give 50 million to start up company it wouldn't have sold any revenue if you just gave a random person 50 million and not feel suspicious about it they should have asked for a measly 10 million and later down the run ask for 50 after he also forgot to mention that Blockbuster at the time was competing with so many other video stores but Netflix want to pull a whole wwe and act like they bought blockbuster franchise

      @dick Castle except they’re not blowing up, They’re still 1# in making a killing 🤣😂 and it’s 2023 I think Blockbuster made a mistake.

    They could have bought Netflix themselves but they waited too long,and became irrelevant

    The success story is impressive but you lost my money by publishing Cuties. You should be ashamed.

    I don't like him. Lots of self aggrandizing and pride and ego.
