No one wants physical media these days.
I don't have internet at my house because the crap that's offered way out in the country isn't worth the money--I was devastated when Netflix decided to end the DVD program because that's how I see all new movies. I was hoping that there would be an opportunity to get the retired disks.
I love physical media on top of not having internet. It means that I can always watch whatever I want whenever I want and I don't have to flip between different subscriptions or hope that the subscription I have doesn't get rid of what I want to watch before I get a chance to watch it.
I can do that with my plex server and acquired media. I haven't used a DVD in 15 years.
I use a PLEX server and acquire my media (mostly) from DVDs, Blu-Rays, and 4K discs, heh heh
A lot of mine was from DVDs but after that you don't need them.
starlink is pretty good.
