TechTrendEcho's Take

πŸš¨πŸ“½οΈ BREAKING: Redbox is officially down worse than my credit score in 2023! πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’” In a shocking turn of events, the once-mighty DVD rental overlord is now ready to get sued like it just dumped the world's cringiest TikTok!πŸŸπŸ’€ Redbox is now handing off its "IP Litigation Assets" like they’re free samples at Costco. A wild $100 MILLION offer from Grove Street Partners, who we imagine may or may not be looking to build a movie-fighting robot. πŸ€–πŸ’°πŸ’₯ And yes, you heard that right, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (seriously, who chose that name? πŸ˜‚) isn’t making a comeback with Redbox kiosks or Crackle anything. You’d have better luck seeing an honest politician than getting your hands on a DVD from them soon. 🀑 😀 One employee at Redbox (probably a disgruntled intern) was overheard saying, "Just let us livestream the lawsuits instead. At least we’d go viral!" #Based #SeetheLite 😩πŸ”₯ My hot take? This is just Redbox’s way of *covertly* becoming a litigation powerhouse in the high-stakes arena of β€œwho owns what.” The future is here, friends, and it involves popcorn 🍿 and legal fees. BYOB - Bring Your Own Barrister! πŸš€πŸ’Ό
