Comment on Sony kills off [recordable] Blu-ray and optical disks for consumer market — business-to-business production to continue until unprofitable

Welp, so only 🏴☠️ it is.
fortunately, this change does not affect Bluray movies you can buy at the store. This is only about recordable Bluray drives, which basically no one uses on a consumer level.
I’m pretty sure some people use them for backups.
I’m sure they do, but I feel like even on r/datahoarders, I only ever see people talk about masses of HDDs, tape drives, or cloud storage.
8Tb optical disks don’t exist. Much cheaper to just do spinning-rust or cloud.
There are dozens of us!
