DVDs and why I'm going back to them

Streaming channels have won the media wars, but I still see the value in DVDs. In this video, I'll discuss why I’ve had enough of streaming and why I’ve going back to buying and watching DVDs.

On top of it all… YOU OWN THINGS… AND ARE HAPPY.

The biggest advantage for me is when the political climate changes, they cant censor or remove the DVDs which you bought.

Censorship is why I have a massive dvd and blue-ray collection. Mostly 70s and 80s films you just don't see on TV anymore.

I’m obsessed with physical media and I still buy movies on DVD.

[cindytran]

People think I’m old fashioned for still watching/buying DVDs as I was never a fan of steaming or paying for those monthly subscriptions. But I don’t care if they think I’m old fashioned! I love that I own it and can watch whatever I want!

Those early years of streaming were great, unfortunately it didnt take long for companies to become greedy.

I never got rid of my DVDs nor will I stop collecting physical media. I'm glad others are catching on that physical media is far more superior because you actually own the item. It can't be altered nor can it be removed unless you decided you don't want it in your collection anymore. Let's keep fighting to keep physical media alive and support the physical media industry!

Welcome back. Some of us never stopped buying physical media and are quite happy for others to rejoin us so that physical media continues to be produced and sold.

I'm a thrift store guy, & one day I brought my 18-yr-old daughter along. When she realized that all the DVDs are .99 cents (U.S.) each, she said; "Why would we pay for streaming? We've been scammed!" 😂

Case in point, Sony recently deleted over a thousand items from their digital content library that people had purchased. No refunds, Gone, done. This is why physical media is so important. You own it, so unless you get burgled, no ones taking it away from you. You spent your money & you ACTUALLY OWN IT.

I really love my DVDs. And to be honest the best things in them are: I can watch them wheneve I want and... no damn commercials during movie 😊

[thesimplechiclife]

it's the same thing for me with books. Yes I can read them on a kindle or listen to them with again a subscription service - but I prefer the smell and feel of real books and I like the idea of having a beautiful collection that one day I can pass on to my kids. This way I'm also not relying on power, subscription, electricity etc to be able to read my stories - AND my eyes don't have to stare at yet another screen. Books are the best.

I watch YouTube more than anything else. Channel's like yours run by 1 person is my goto form of entertainment.

[jimthar]

I NEVER stopped buying physical media. I NEVER subscribed to any streaming or music service. I currently own hundreds of CDs, DVDs and Blurays and I can watch them or listen to them anytime I want without fear of them being edited or "Modernized." Plus I don't have to wait for them to be "Available" on whatever service I would subscribe to. Physical has always been better but they've brainwashed so many people into thinking otherwise.

I agree 100%. After 14 years, I finally cancelled Netflix. I spent more time looking for something to watch than I did actually watching anything at all. Like you said, Amazon Video is included with my Prime membership but, I often have the same issue with them. And now, many of Amazon's titles, even older films and TV series include ads. That's not what I signed up for many years ago. But, they're the boss I guess. Physical media: movies, TV series and also video games are all becoming a thing of the past because the producers of such media don't want the consumers to actually "own" them. Nice video, sir.

I have just subscribed because you said “don’t bother subscribing just yet…” I have never heard a YouTuber say that in all the years I’ve watched YT. Your honesty, sir, MUST be rewarded and if my subscription does a little towards that end, I’m all in! 😅

[brichan]

I couldn’t agree more. This is happening in gaming, as well. I am a fierce defender of physical media. Be it DVD, BluRay, games, or music, I want to see the original artist’s vision and I want to be able to watch/play/listen to it when I want without Amazon or Disney giving me permission.

Another thing is why do I have to rent or purchase something on Amazon if I’m already paying for the service? What a complete waste!

Your video makes the point I’ve been making with friends and family quite succinctly. Thank you, sir. Instant subscriber.

❤❤❤❤

We need to bring physical media back to the fore. It's not too late!

[amongtheruin]

I believe wholeheartedly in possessing physical media. Twenty years ago, I started buying VHS and DVDs, because even back then, I couldn't find a dang thing that interested me on TV. I'm happy that I did so, because I can see how streaming services over the years have screwed their customer base.. I can watch what I want, when I want. No commercials! Remember when streaming services in the early days promised commercial free programming? That sure didn't last long. Anyway, I'm so happy to see you talking about this and I agree with you. New subscriber. Cheers from Virginia.

Physical media, baby!

I still buy the occasional CD because I'm Generation X and enjoy the liner notes.
