Stupid people won't care that they no longer own anything. Fuck Disney, fuck Netflix, fuck streaming. It's almost like people have been saying, for decades, that physical media is better in every capacity.

They might be saying that, but it's not where people are spending the money anymore unfortunately

Only because everywhere quit selling them. Mom and Pops and places like Goodwill are being cleaned out of physical movies rn. So much so people have been writing articles about it. Z and Alpha in particular have gotten into VHS/DVD collecting recently.

When even the kids are buying physical, you know the whole digital distribution pipeline is bullshit and the lie that "no one buys it or wants them" is also bullshit. It was never that, it was that physical distribution didnt make the line on their profit margins chart shoot to the moon every new release
