I’m Tired of Pretending Physical Media Isn’t Still Better Than Streaming Digital (gizmodo.com)

Why would anyone pretend otherwise?

Streaming DOES have a purpose... for media I don't otherwise CARE about. Media I don't feel the need to own.

I will 100% stream the America's Test Kitchen channel, but I'm BUYING their cookbooks, not their videos.

I dearly love the Doctor Who channel, but I'm saving my money for when I can get a complete set of Tom Baker (it's getting super close now!)

I pay for Max for John Oliver. Creature Commandos is a nice bonus. I THINK I bought Peacemaker on physical? Can't remember. I definitely THOUGHT about it when I bought Suicide Squad.

Personally I like to HAVE media saved, on my server, that I value enough that I would be sad if it disappeared
