All I can say is that Blockbuster Video stores were superior to Prime, Netflix

I disagree. Not all video store clerks knew the movies and they didn't always make good suggestions. Also, with video stores the film you wanted may not be carried by the store and may not be in stock. You had to go to the store, pay to rent the movie, then return it after watching it. Streaming is more convenient. It is actually less expensive if you watch a lot of films. For $5-12 a month (depending on the service), you can watch as much as you want. If you rented 4 movies at blockbuster in a month, you would be paying more than that. And some streaming services are well organized and have a good layout and functionality.

Plus if you go to the store you are polluting with putting out more carbon monoxide and if you are one of those thoughtless assholes you might let the car idle, putting out even more pollution, while you or your friend goes inside and takes for ****ing ever to get the movie.

You are retarded and everything you say is bullshit.
I had Blockbuster Moviepass or whatever it was called. Flat rate every month I could rent as many movies as i wanted and the selection was a hell of a lot better than Netflix, including all the new movies, which you get NONE of with netflix anymore.
If all you are going to say is bullshit then save it and don't even post your retarded lying garbage, ******.

Not necessarily. You still have to go to the store, find the movie you want in stock, and then return it afterwards. There were lots of movies that Blockbuster didn't carry and they would often be out of stock of the popular ones.

I think its a bad sign when Blockbuster closed down. In fact, almost every video store has closed around here.
Saying that, I probably wouldn't frequent them as much. Deadlines were a pain in the ass, having to drive 10-15 minutes on a day you didn't feel like it. In 2013, I came back from Australia and got back into movies again, and would rent 6 movies at a time from the library, but after seeing so many, it wasn't worth the drive, to check out movies that didn't pique my curiosity, but since I was there, I'd always get 6, and the quality diminished.
I don't have a good enough connection to stream, unless its YouTube, where I can watch through my "smart" TV. But even with that, my ad-blocker doesn't work, so I use those free trials, and of course, they bank on you forgetting. I usually cancel right away once I know they'll automatically do it for me when the trial period is over.
My biggest problem today is not having any movies I wanna see. I do look for recommendations on here, and used to on IMDB recommendation lists, but IMDB keeps ****ing themselves, but all their ****-ups occurred when Geoff Bozos bought it.
I never got any recommendations from the people at Blockbuster, despite me being such a regular there. Would have been nice. Even a "I saw that", but they might have been told not to be judgemental (human) on the customer's selection.
