This is all about convenience. Consider streaming. You have everything available instantly without any effort… until your network connection goes down. Then you have nothing. Most young people cannot imagine living in a world disconnected. It’s great until it isn’t, and at that point it’s hopeless without any recourse. It might as well be a death apocalypse. I do know what it’s like to live in a world disconnected. Because of that I keep my media on a portable storage device and back it up on redundant devices so that it does not get lost. I pay no subscriptions to access my media. It’s always instantly available when I travel anywhere. There are no advertisements, outages, bills, pauses, or other disruptions. Because of stuff like Bluetooth, Samba, and Plex it’s available to all my household media devices automatically. My son loves his streaming service, but that just looks like paying a premium for laziness with a high potential for failure.
