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.

To be frank, any mention of "physical media" almost exclusively means DVDs/blu-rays/etc. But people really should talk more about hard drives as physical storage. It's essentially the same concept as those mediums anyhow. The only physical difference is storage size and the practical differences (no ads, locked content, quality limits, etc) are huge.
