I once bought laundry detergent at Walmart and was surprised to find it locked up. Had to buzz an associate to open the case and then take it to a register so I could purchase it. They wouldn’t even let me carry it to a register myself.
The irritating part: directly across the street was a Sam’s Club (which is a Walmart company) and they don’t lock up detergent. Just stamps, high priced electronics, and high priced alcohol.
Okay, but that isn’t remotely the same as what Netflix or similar platforms have. Dropout is comedy based shows that started as a rebranding of College Humor. Not everyone wants to watch comedians guess each others secrets, play randomly made up games or watch drag queens play a TTRP. I’m not against it, I happen to enjoy some of the shows. The comparison doesn’t work.
