There’s only a handful of Blockbuster stores alive, but one of them is killing Twitter

“Blockbuster” is a word that future generations will probably never truly understand. Posterity will never know the feeling of walking in the store and seeing the rows of fresh, newly released VHS tapes. That’s because almost all of the Blockbuster stores have gone under. According to a recent Business Insider article, there are roughly ten stores remaining. That’s out of the 9,000 what were open in the early 90s.

In April of 2016, just after they got online, they did a rollicking interview with The Daily Dot in which they outlined the struggles of working at the last, struggling beacon of a once-great empire.
