    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! my comment got reported and deleted!!!! (responding to your breathtakingly stupid and paranoid answer here https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20210... and noting that everyone everyone everyone here has answers deleted for no reason and accounts suspended for no reason regardless of political stripe but the only ones who hallucinate some sort of nefarious agenda into this are Nazi twits such as yourself.

    Tell you what, here's a link to "The Paranoid Style In American Politics." Perhaps it will help you on your road to self-awareness.

    BTW I think the "question-and-answer format" explicitly stipulated in the YA guidelines pretty obviously implies using an interrogative sentence construction. A declaration with a question mark automatically slapped onto the end really doesn't cut it. These guidelines exist for a reason, you know.

    Sort of. It's well-known that Blockbuster missed out on the chance to buy Netflix when the company was in its infancy. Now that Netflix is is one of the biggest things around and Blockbuster is all but extinct. This story is usually told this an example of Blockbuster failing to see what the future was going to be. It's often formulated is Blockbuster passing on an opportunity to buy Netflix. But recent Memoir by the first CEO of Netflix paints a different picture. He talks about the incident it makes it seem more prosaic. Blockbuster was interested in buying Netflix. They wanted to buy the company and realized it's worth. But they we're not willing to offer enough money for the founders to sell it. So the issue wasn't really that Blockbuster didn't think that there was any value in Netflix, and they didn't really pass on it. The issue was that they weren't willing to offer enough money to make it worthwhile to sell.
