Finding a recycled appreciation for physical media again as someone who grew up in the early 00ās. I miss blockbuster! redbox (when it was good)! anybody remember GameFly? I still check out movies from the library, but especially with companies owning and having the ability to remove media from their platform at their greedy, corporate will - Iāve started buying my favorite movies, shows, and CDs again :)
