Buy physical. Because you have a physical backup, you can watch it without Internet, and they can’t change the media. Like removing scenes or episodes.

Or, rather, buy/download DRMless. You get all the convenience, none of the bullshit like unskippable ads or warnings every time you spin it up. I get it if people just like the sensation/scarcity of DVDs, but don't see it as optimal ownership.

And physical can also have DRM, y'know.
