Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE

With streaming companies owning the content, buying DVDs is just another way of financially supporting the same companies for worse quality.
Even when one platform is taken down, there are new ones launched in their place. Nothing guarantees that DVDs will continue to be produced in perpetuity, just as digital copies of video games are progressively becoming less and less prevalent.
Yard sales, pawn shops, thrift stores, and the humble library system can help mitigate that money working it’s way up to the coked up pedos that run the film studios.
Buy second hand, rip, sell again.
Matt Damon argued that the loss of DVD sales is why such garbage comes out of hollywood these days.
He also recently mentioned about his new Netflix movie that Netflix said “it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.”
let them keep trying, then
I’d say it is the opposite. DVDs can stop being made.
Theres a way to combine the best of both of them :)

They’ve been trying for how long now? The pirates always win in the end.
