Cinema is just not worth it anymore

This is a two-panel Drake Hotline Bling reaction meme comparing the entertainment value of cinema trips and video game purchases. The top panel shows Drake turning away with a rejecting hand gesture, paired with text for the option of paying $20 for a 2-hour movie including popcorn and soda, presented as a poor value proposition. The bottom panel shows Drake smiling and pointing in approval, paired with text for the option of paying $20 for a 70+ hour long video game that can be enjoyed while eating custom home food, presented as a far better use of money. The meme supports the core argument that cinema is no longer a worthwhile expense compared to cheaper, longer forms of entertainment like video games.

Origin notes

This meme is sourced from the Reddit Meme subreddit via an RSS feed. It uses the extremely popular Drake Hotline Bling meme template, which originates from Drake's 2015 'Hotline Bling' music video and has been a widely used two-panel comparison format online for many years. This iteration edits the template text to make a humorous point about the relative value of cinema versus video games.
