āJust in case I need itā is the principle of hoarding.
a large media library achieves a similar thing a subscription to on-demand streaming achieves: pick a film to watch, and you can immediately press play. thereās also a curation aspect. whenever one friend speaks highly of a film, i grab it. then once i have a larger group of friends over for movie night, we just peruse the library until we find something everyoneās in the right mood for. whatever we select from that library, i can be confident itāll be received well: itās already been vetted.
i mean itās not that different from the original value proposition for Netflix, only it survives even after they turn off the money faucet.
