Remember when netflix sent you DVDs and you could keep a surprising amount of them by saying they got lost in the mail. The last movie I got was Dick but I lost it in a move

I thought you couldn’t get a new one sent until you sent back one.

You couldn't but if enough time had passed you could report it missing. Couldn't do it every time though, you had to space them out

I remember the service was a very affordable rate.

Yeah it ruled. There was also something really fun about having to choose just one and wait for it to get to you. It made watching them more of an event. Back when the tech companies gave you a lot more for your money to rope us all in

Also, I kept thinking that if Netflix could track when dvd I had and when it was returned then we should be able to vote same way.
