Sometimes I forget how "normies" see the world. There are people out there that believe "consumers just decided to switch to streaming and give up physical media".
Youtube lost money for a decade before it made a profit.
Spotify lost money for 17 years.
None of this is accidental or organic. People didn't "choose" these systems. They outright rejected them for literally decades while these systems operated at a loss that made competition with them impossible, funded by people who wanted to change the world into what we have now. A system where you own nothing, consume whatever is offered on-demand and nothing else, and you have no privacy or anonymity.
Netflix killed Blockbuster with by-mail PHYSICAL MEDIA at a loss. The entire time they were eating Blockbuster's business they were losing money. After Blockbuster died, Netflix phased out physical media and I remember the severe backlash, but the choice was streaming or nothing. Still many (maybe most) people just cobbled together private collections from bargain bins and garage sales. Netflix continued to lose money....10 BILLION dollars of loses in the 2010s even after Blockbuster went out of business.
Understand the truth, that a cabal of global institutional investors funded companies that nobody wanted for literally decades at a cost of untold billions of dollars....until there was NOTHING ELSE LEFT for you to use.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

@Grochowa2 Yanks: "let's move to Toronto!"
Toronto: *$4000 a month for a damp corner of a basement.*
Yanks: "Hmm, maybe the fascist hellhole is the more affordable option. 😬"
Completely agree.
Let’s be done with the Francophone-Anglophone animosity.
Leave your Protestant Orange marches back home.
Let’s revisit Canada’s constitutional protection for Catholic schools.
Or are we talking about immigrants from only some parts of the world?
If only I’d kept a penny for every time some ‘old stock’ Canadian said this to me…
In Bordeaux, France, for the first time and have fallen utterly in love with their amazing tram system. Runs directly in front of train station, goes to airport, everything major in town. Way more comprehensive and used than toy-train systems I’ve seen in some Euro cities
so just offering up all the land and resources to help foreign companies generate videos of Luigi giving birth and also develop target lists for militaries to annihilate
