People got lazy and threw away their stuff thinking streaming was the future. Some of us knew better because we know how capitalism works.
Own your media folks!
I’d still rather have on demand streaming over broadcast. Having to time-shift by recording live shows was super annoying.
Broadcast had its charm. I feel like I discovered more things.
I feel ya. There was nice to have a forcing function to give something new a chance for a bit.
It was also nice to not have everyone watching their own little micro-targeted version of reality.
I just don't have nearly the amount of places to get them anymore. Still, I have a small wall worth of DVDs and Blu-ray.
A hand full of VHS as well.
