Blockbuster stores were required to have at least 7,000 movies. Many had closer to 10,000. Netflix has averaged ~3,000 movies for the last several years. At the peak Netflix had like 5,000.

Streaming is a modern marvel that allows us to watch more shows and movies than any old Blockbuster could hope to stock. But somehow, the act of consuming content has never felt more frustrating than it does today, writes @cwarzel .
