I'm I the only person who goes to the library for movies?
Nope, we love our local library for nearly all of our media needs!
You are not!! We utilize the shit out of our library
Unfortunately here in the UK there has been systematic defunding of things like libraries.
It's sad really as the idea that you could read a book for free in the 1900s was basically the OG 'fuck copyright'.
Books are weapons in the war of ideas...
Goes to? Now even many libraries have streaming options.
At that point? I’d just pirate. Streaming services are for convenience. Going to the library for a physical piece of media isn’t very convenient for me
Your library has free transportation and cloud storage?
You're cherry-picking and strawmanning like crazy...
Actually, my library does have free streaming through Kanopy app. It's pretty good. https://www.kanopy.com/ And my bike provides pretty good transportation.
And video games.
