Lemmy.world blocked that community, what’s the post about?
I would be pretty annoyed to let lemmy.world decide what I should read on the Lemmyverse :)
It’s that or being politically correct…
… what?
Own your files. Play them in native resolution. Accept no compromises.
Since you say native resolution I assume you mean the highest resolution and bitrate available. Because playing the native resolution of a DVD is way way worse than streaming.
Buying everything on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray would be very expensive if you watch. It’s also not very convenient.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying Blu-ray’s but don’t pretend it’s the perfect solution to all the problems.
Idk, the cheapest Netflix streaming service w/o ads is $15.50/month. Most Blurays are $10-15. So each Bluray is something like a month of Netflix.
If you watch a lot of movies/TV shows and almost never rewatch them, then yeah, maybe a streaming service is a good option. But if you need multiple streaming services to get the content you want, the appeal of just buying physical media increases. My kids mostly watch the same handful of TV series, so I have cancelled our subscriptions (totaling $40 or so) and now I just buy the shows they want.
I mean torrenting.
You said “own” though.
I pirate too but it’s not ownership.
I don’t correlate purchase with ownership.
Infact by removing the DRM I think I own my media to a far greater extent than I would if I purchased it legally.
And people will bitch and moan on the Internet, pay up, and repeat the process next time they try this.
The stock is doing good so there must be plenty of people thinking Netflix is essential. And I guess it is if you have no tech skills at all.
I don’t have a subscription myself, but if I want to watch something they have, I’d rather pay up than spending my time trying to figure out how to pirate it.
For me, it’s less about technical ability, and more about how I spend my time.
