> Happily. I have more access to content now than I have ever had before; we live in a golden age of access to video content. I can't imagine a rational argument for going back to the era of physical media.
Please show me where I can access The Witches (2020) by Robert Zemeckis?
Or the Willow TV show from 2022
Or Final Space
Or Star Trek: Prodigy
Or Westworld
The shows and movies just disappear off streaming because some executive did the math and they'll save money by just taking things off the internet.
This is why you buy anything you want to see again or even show to your kids later on as a physical copy. (Or do the yarr-thing and hold on to the digital copy on your own hardware)
- tptacek 3y agoSure: The Witches is $3.99 on Apple TV. The Willow TV show is a perfect example of something that would simply not exist without streaming. Also, as a member of a family that celebrates Annual Willow Day in early January, you're not missing much.
- theshrike79 3y agoStreaming also killed the mid-price movie, because there's no long tail of DVD sales any more. Now we only get "indie" movies with tiny budgets and massive AAA blockbusters with billion dollar price tags. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/26/entertainment/mid-budget-movie-decline-cec/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/26/entertainment/mid-budget-...
