"People are holding onto their #physical #media
Lack of control, uncertainty, and frustration associated with online media has long persuaded some TV fans and movie buffs to retain physical media. Streaming services tend to hike prices, even after suggesting that they won’t. They also pull content from their platforms regularly and are even known to delete on-demand purchases, (which, per licensing agreements, are really just indefinite loaners).
The infiltration of ads into streaming services and changing rules and features of streaming subscriptions have also led people to yearn for a simpler time. And the necessity for strong Internet connections and demands for 4K and/or HDR can also push people to opt for physical media, which should work the same way every time."
