I’m on Linux now but why the hell would I want to pay to store media? If I want to watch something I just find it online, 1tb seed it a bunch then leap… The nas collectors almost want piracy to die to complete their orgasm.
For me its because a lot of movies from the 80s and 90s are hard to find. Not everything exists online anymore. Popular movies generally do but ive had issues finding some things.
And then fast forward another 30 years. Will good movies from today still be there and will we be able to get them as easily?
I just store it so I dont have to worry. :)
If you mainly watch modern movies, then this is a not a problem. But I think a lot of modern movies are really stupid. :)
I watched the new running man and couldnt believe how dumb he acted.
The only thing you need to be careful of is falling out of touch with modern life because you’re still watching 90s films in the 2050s. Part of my enjoyment of the niche entertainment I consumed in the 90s came from seeking out new people to enjoy it with, searching for it on the proto-internet, and forming communities around the experience of watching it. I find that nowadays I can watch the film again but it just doesn’t bring the same kind of enjoyment that it did when I watched it 30 years ago. I hope I live long so I can see more new entertainment options come out and try those too, and my dvd collection gets lost and broken and water damaged from being left in the closet where it belongs.
