  “It might be time to start recollecting those discs.”

  What if I told you, I never stopped?

  No need for physical media when it comes to file sharing. But if you really hate the environment so much, I guess yeah… sure, physical media accomplishes something.

  I haven’t deleted any downloaded content in about 17 years now.

    Did you store your content on physical hard drives? That follows the spirit of the statement.

      This so much this. A file is physical media. Streaming isn’t

      No I just memorize all the ones and zeros. /s

      But yes, you are correct. I still feel it’s important to remind people that the only alternative to streaming isn’t like DVDs or vinyl records or something.

  I've been buying DVDs / blu-rays more in the past year than I have in probably the past decade.

  I’ve been buying physical media (DVDs, BluRay) and ripping them with MakeMKV + Encoding them with HandBrake and use my cloud storage + a mix of Kodi and Infuse Pro to stream my shows.

  I’ll rip a thousand DVDs before I let this company die!

  I stopped buying physical discs when they started adding unskippable commercials at the beginning. Not sure if they still do that.

  I did however receive a number of Blu-rays for a gift recently and I was able to redeem codes to add them to my iTunes library. Pretty cool… until Apple decides to not support it.
