So yes... streaming is cheaper. But something important was lost when we gave up physical media: community, commitment, and simplicity. Maybe the tradeoff wasn’t as one-sided as we thought. 🎬

And when you rented or bought a Blu-Ray, you committed to that movie. You watched it. Streaming encourages browsing, skimming, quitting halfway. Less engagement, more consumption

Physical media also fostered community. Renting a movie was often a social event. Eg. running into neighbors, asking for staff picks, planning a Friday movie night. Streaming is solitary and passive by comparison

In the Blockbuster era, you went to one place. If it was on the shelf, you rented it. No logins, no disappearing titles, no subscription fatigue. Simpler, and in many ways, more accessible.

Yes, streaming is cheaper. A single subscription gets you access to thousands of shows and films. Buying individual Blu-Rays can't compete with that kind of volume or cost

Streaming services like Netflix are often said to be better than physical media like Blu-Ray. Sure, you get more content per dollar, but that’s only part of the story
