But I don't have a DVD player anymore
Every thrift store has like ten of them stacked on a shelf for $10
PITA. My Intel NUC, daily driver, runs my 40' TV as a monitor and casts to my 55' for movies. Can't imagine a use for physical media except for nostalgia. I do have ancient stereo gear!
All right I got to step in here. Because not everybody sits at home all day long with their kids and does nothing. I travel all over the place in the past month I've done two 10-hour trips one way so that means 10 hours there 10 hours back. And at least once a month I'm traveling multiple hours a day. And yeah might be better if I were to download something but a lot of areas I don't have internet service sometimes I can download it sometimes I can get it the tablet to play it and stuff like that however streaming services do have their purposes do have their places that a lot of these DVDs and things like that simply can't touch. And while I do run Plex and I do sell the seas quite often I don't have time to do that anymore at this point. I haven't even been able to touch my Plex server and I have probably a hundred gigs of movies that I need to upload onto there to be able to get them to play.
