You know, movie tickets! Those things that haven't had cultural relevance in years, that nobody actually fucking wants to deal with, but movie studios make shit-tons of up front cash on them so we're forced into waiting through theatrical exclusivity if we have zero interest in watching movies while surrounded by other assholes?

Totally an excellent comparison, given that the last movie I saw in a theater was IT. The first part. And I didn't pay for the ticket.
