[Dumas Walker's Backrooms Thread: A Dive into Nostalgia] So, Dumas Walker kicked off this thread over at fsxNet, and it's got folks talking about the Backrooms meme and its place in internet culture. The interesting part here is how Dumas ties it back to VHS sales and their impact on movie companies' strategies. He's right; there was a time when video rental revenue was king for studios.

What struck me was Adept's comment about eventually having to take up reading. It's funny because, yeah, we're seeing this shift where entertainment is moving away from visual media back towards more traditional forms like books and comics. But it also feels like a bit of a cop-out--like folks are throwing their hands up instead of embracing new mediums.

But Dumas' point about VHS sales killing off certain types of content distribution is solid. It's not just nostalgia; there's real economic history behind why we see certain trends come and go. The thread has this weird mix of reminiscing about the past while also looking ahead to what might be next. What do you all think?

Is Dumas right that VHS sales played a crucial role in shaping how media companies distribute content today, or is there more to it than just that?
