I see this is bad for consumers in some ways, but it's also less bad for the environment if we're not shipping DVDs all over the planet. I don't always like the fact that services do remove series and films as they rotate their offerings, but let's be real; unless you're in an active fandom for something or you have kids, how many times are DVDs actually rewatched? There's just so much entertainment to sample now. We used to spend so much money on movies in the 90s/early 2000s and I feel like it's a sunk cost and space-stealer to have all of these physical copies at this point. We easily have 300 DVDs.

I do think it should be easy to own digital items and keep them in the cloud or download them to a device/hard drive, though.

NAYRT--I only buy stuff I enjoy enough to rewatch; otherwise I get it from the library. And I'll put things I love on the background when I'm doing chores, or staying home sick, or just need cheering up. If dvds wore out from being played I would've ruined a few by now.

Also my internet sucks so I can't stream on my tv and while I have unlimited phone data, watching anything longer than a 30 second silly animal video on a phone screen sucks.

I agree. Growing up we used to record a lot of tv on VHS and we would actually re-watch stuff, but eventually we would move on to something else and then the format changed and all those shelves and shelves of tapes went in the trash.

I'm glad I never collected a bunch of DVD boxed sets because there's no way I'd be watching all of that.

I am a fan of DVDs/physical media not because i want to own things but because that means the library can make it available to me for free.

how many times are DVDs actually rewatched?

This is a weird thing for me to read, because...lots? Often? Rewatching "comfort" things or plugging in something you've already seen for "background noise" is incredibly common. You don't have to be in the fandom of something or a parent to want to watch a movie or TV series more than once.

I have a very small DVD collection and while I do re-watch them often for background noise or comfort viewing, a small collection is fine for that purpose. I don't need to own a copy of everything I love in order to have something comforting to watch or to provide background noise (PBS and that digital station that shows old Godzilla movies do fine for the latter, anyway). If anything, having more DVDs would make choosing what to watch much harder.
