a big difference is that you could find vhs and dvds in public libraries, whereas the library model breaks apart for streamed media.

My library does actually have streaming movies and TV. But the comparison of what they have available to stream vs take out physically on DVD and Blu-ray just highlights how messed up it is. You will struggle to find a movie you've heard from the past 10 years, you will struggle to find a good movie from the past 30. Meanwhile the physical library has recent new releases and stuff you've actually heard of and want to watch.

Agree. I'd go to Blockbuster for block busters and the library or an independent video rental store for art house and foreign language films.
