If you've ever scrolled through Netflix it starts repeating pretty quickly. There's not that much on there. They just expect you to start watching something before you hit the end of the list.
I used to love flipping through stacks at record stores. In college, I would go to the three record stores downtown and burn a whole afternoon doing it. Now, when I do come across an actual record store, I just can't be bothered to do it. I've been ruined by instant gratification of online shopping or streaming.
But I do enjoy browsing my physical collection when trying to decide what to play. So the idea situation would be a local store with good mail order and knowledgeable staff so I don't have to support Bezos.
Becoming a retvrn guy exclusively for physical media

I've found a compromise: digital media without paying for it 🏴☠️ :party-parrot-popcorn:
:party-sicko:
Knowing how things are now we’d get the return of more physical media but it’s a subscription. Fuck, that already exists with those boxes doesn’t it?
DVD Netflix, but with the subscription box with limited choices model (i.e. digital Netflix selection), sounds like the most cursed thing.
Something about media not being infinite made it seem more real somehow. Maybe it's just our attention span.
