In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

    Blurays are better quality than streaming.

    4K Bluray is the highest quality you’ll ever get in your home by like, a lot.

    Streaming is a regression.

      Streaming is progress in terms of convenience, but the trade-off is a lower image quality and forgoing ownership of the media you buy/consume.

      These days I buy Blurays and rip them to my Jellyfin server. Worth it for me, but I would hardly call that process convenient.

        Now it’s expensive to even build ones of those servers. I just play my discs and rip them to a hdd collection. I just do it the ghetto way by having a usb hub hooked up to an nvidia shield with some hdds.
