And burning cd/dvd’s is getting more popular due to disappearing content on streaming services. Some shows got removed and are no longer available to watch elsewhere legally. Such a shame.
Also making a comeback because of things like Elsagate and YouTube Kids’ weird algorithms. Parents need to have reliable kid-friendly media that they can put on, without constantly needing to monitor it… And a DVD box set of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood won’t end up showing your kid softcore fetish content disguised as children’s videos, as soon as you walk away from the screen to make dinner.
I run a small Plex/Jellyfin server, and have a library specifically for kids’ shows. And my users can lock their kids’ accounts down so they can only access that library. So my various friends and relatives can put something on via Plex, and trust that it will stay safe for their kids.
Got annoyed when things started coming and going as early as 2018 and started a Blu-Ray collection. About 80% of it is secondhand. I’ll admit I still have a couple streaming services, but all the stuff I know I like is readily and consistently available now.

What do you use for storage?
Does this mean the case of 5.25" DVD burners I have will be worth something again?
I only rip them for jellyfin

If it hasn’t happened already, Netflix is dropping the new She-Ra show from their service, and they’ve never released a physical form.
Therefore, it is illegal to watch She-Ra.
I believe a hard drive is cheaper now.
And fails earlier. That’s why I’m thinking of backing up some stuff onto dvds again.
