Over the last 2 years I've bought over 1300 DVDs (and blue rays) and over 600 CD's.
I've also got loads of retro games (from atari 2600 up to ps4) on cartridge and CD.

I want to own my own medi., I've seen too many examples of things being edited, censored or banned, and I want to have the original.

Plus, I don't have to deal with adverts, reduced quality, lack of internet or monthly charges. Most of the films and music I got came from charity shops for virtually free (some shops do 5 or 10 dvds for the equivalent of $1.

Most people think I'm insane :) but they can go do face scans to listen to their favorite metal album on Spotify, I'll carry on doing my thing :)

I ripped all my DVDs onto Jellyfin (Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB with a 2TB SSD). Works like a charm, plus set up for external access, so can watch for a few hours in the car park whilst my wife is shopping! ๐Ÿ™‚

I think this is the same reason as to why I am so attracted to books of black and white photographs.

Mindful consumption. I prefer this.

I completely understand you! Owning your favorite media personally can be very satisfying, with no updates, no ads, and no streaming nonsense. I do the same thing during my breaks. I have a lot of CDs on my new Catamaran flybridge yacht https://www.yachttrading.com/new-yachts-for-sale/yacht-type-cat...

Buying physical medium and digitizing is good. It bothers me that much of my large book collection and movies and TV shows I have bough are on streaming services. If I stop paying every month and how ever much they decide they want now then I lose what I have "bought". Since I bought I feel no re...
