Was literally thinking the same thing. Afternoon matinees in the mid 2000s were like $5 in my, admittedly small, hometown. You and your friends could get dropped off at the shopping center, hit up the arcade, see a movie, and go bowling in the evening all for like $30 lol.

BlueSky and Meta’s Twitter clone will likely be what most people will migrate to. Haven’t seen or heard as much about people going to Mastodon though.
Honestly, fuck proprietary systems and corporate control. Algos and corporations are literally destroying the world. The fediverse might be one of the most important technologies on the I internet in a very long time. This is a hill I will die on.

There was a movie theater when I was a kid in the 80s and you could see movies that had already stopped being shown in the regular theaters for a while for $1. So, like, if you missed Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom in its original run, you could catch it later on the big screen for $1.
And twitter blue dumbasses eat it up. Legit one of them said “he created a problem, and now he’s created a solution”. No, he didn’t say that as a criticism. He was telling people to buy twitter blue.
