The entire appeal of McDonald’s is being predictable. It’s mediocre but you know what you’re getting and it’s appealing to a lot of people. In that way, Blockbuster being McDonald’s is true — but also explains why it’s preferable to streaming in some ways. They had a limited selection but that selection didn’t change and you knew pretty reliably what kind of movies they would be carrying.
