Streaming killed the sense of wonder and magic. I remember walking through the video store, looking at the painted VHS or DVD copies. The majority of them I never heard off. You saw a cool cover, read the synopsis on the back, rented the movie and it turned out crap or amazing. Sometimes you really wanted a specific movie but it wouldn't be available for the longest time. I remember when SE7EN came on VHS, we struggled for almost 3 months to get it. When we finally got it and watched it, it was spectacular. The wait was so worth it. Now , everyone can see movies and shows immediately. No wonder they come out, and then is quickly forgotten. Bring back DVD and Blu-ray shops. They are magical places. Streaming is turning everyone into the fat useless slobs from Wall-E

They are dumb to get rid of DVD and Blu Ray. The people who really want to support it will do both, buy the disc and stream it so that the art can be rewarded and monetized both ways. There's no reason why they can't make at least 1 million DVDs for a hit show or movie and let it sell slowly.

The censorship is also completely hidden. I used to watch a sitcom from the seventies. I recorded almost every episode onto VHS back in the early 2000's. I noticed it's now streaming on Netflix or Amazon or whatever. There was a scene that was burned into my brain in one episode so I watched it one night. The scene wasn't there. I thought maybe I just had the wrong episode. After some digging I found out I did have the correct episode. Turns out they just deleted entire chunks of the episode. With no disclaimer anywhere to be found that what they were showing was edited. This is so freaking wrong on so many levels. As far as I'm concerned this is rewriting history. Points of view and values were different in the past. Erasing these things eliminates learning what was right and wrong from the past. At the very least, the bare minimum, make it clear something has been modified, even though it shouldn't be done in the first place.

The streaming era also destroyed the art of backstage commentary, back then DVD's were incredible pieces of art because most of them were not only the "product" movie or series, but also the making off, extras, audio commentary, deleted scenes and special menus. Back then people collected DVD's and even rated them (a Simpsons DVD was excellent for the extra content). None of that exists now and we don't know or even have access to the making of media now.

As if you want to change your provider you've then lost all that content, this is how they tie you down. I buy physical, that way i'm in control of it. If i don't own it, i don't care to.

I've started to go back and buy physical media, I have quite the collection now. The reason I've started collecting is for a few things. 1. You actually own the thing you purchase 2. The physical release is typically free from censorship, and has tons of bonus features 3. Physical media looks and sounds better than Streaming. Seriously, it does. CDs are a lossless audio format. DVDs and Blurays have much better compression than a streaming service. One thing I miss though in this modern day... Is going to a video store. That was so fun. You could go and pick out the thing you wanted cheaper than at other places, or find hidden gems you wouldn't have found otherwise. Not to mention, you own the thing as soon as you buy it. No need to wait for it to ship out. I miss going in these places and finding something to check out, just because it looked interesting. Well... Thats all I got. Peace. Don't let physical media die. That's what they want. Don't let them. They want us to own nothing and be happy about it. I say No.

The great irony of this so-called progress is that I am once again running into a familiar problem: hundreds of options and nothing to watch. I gave up looking for anything specific on streaming platforms long ago. At least nine times out of ten, they won't have what I'm looking for, so I just scroll through whatever the algorithm presents me with. And I scroll, and I scroll, and I scroll... It seems like everything I get access to either doesn't interest me, or I've already seen. It's just like channel surfing in days of yore, but at least we had video stores as an alternative. Honestly, if you're ever in the mood for something specific, you're better off consulting your collection of physical media. At least there you know that it contains stuff you like, and it will be there when you go looking for it.

Essentially, I want to be as light as possible not owning a ton of unnecessary things in case I have to move in an emergency situation.

If you don't like the way things are change them yeah one person can't do it alone but one person can inspire another then that person inspires another and before you know it your side outnumbers the other.

You are exactly right - it’s *not* just about the song or the story. It’s about the memories and experience. Physical media gives you that. Streaming does not. Streamed content has no context. It never really becomes part of your life. Not in the same way, anyway. People click off things if they aren’t grabbed within 30 seconds. When choice was more limited, people made an effort to like the films or music or books they had access too, and sometimes fell in love with them, but after a while, not right away. Some things need space to grow on you, time to breathe. This is usually true for anything that takes any risk. And yeah, how many of those millions of shows or movies, or albums, or playlists, or books, does anyone ever *actually* consume?

I grew up in the 90s where there was absolutely a lot of garbage, but there was also a lot of awesome stuff to be discovered. There were record / vhs / dvd stores that were great places to talk to people, browse the selection and learn about new albums, films etc. In an age where everything is curated to keep giving us comfort food, there’s a real loss of that sense of discovery and the wonder that comes with it.

At least with physical media it's somewhat of an investment that appreciates in value that you can pass on to your kids and grandkids.

To me, buying Albums and having a CD collection were a big part of why I enjoyed music in the first place. I remember as a kid I would spend the ride home from the electronics store in the backseat of my mom's car going through the booklet of a CD I just bought, appreciating the artist's and designer's collaborative effort to make the music "touchable". In 2024 all of that is gone. My music is nieche and therefore doesn't even see physical releases most of the time. Meanwhile whatever CDs I had are crumbling away due to their age, some of them being barely playable anymore because as it turns out the "CD" isn't exactly a durable medium. Now does this mean streaming at least prevents me from losing my favorite music due to it's age? No. When I go through my barely 6 years old Spotify Playlists a good chunk of music I collected is already missing due to artists removing their work, licenses expiring and well... Whatever else reason this might have(?). It's not happening often enough to be a complete dealbreaker (yet) but it is defenitely often enough to be a huge inconvenience since there is almost no way to recover it, leaving me with tracks and songs I've built emotional connections to being inaccessable. That's why last year I started downloading music again and I'm currently trying to collect the best music out of 6 years of streaming, to be independent from whatever tricks spotify and co. will pull on us in the near future. Think of it this way: The longer you wait to own your music, the more of a pain in the ass it will be to do it when spotify's disadvantages will outweigh the advantages. (Which will happen at one point, their business model is unsustainable in it's current form) ...and I haven't even touched on any of the other problems spotify is causing like artists changing their production style in an attempt to "hack the algorithm", making the first 30 secs of a song the most exciting ones so they can earn money when you don't skip away/ mass producing slop to shit something out every other month in order to stay "relevant", instead of taking their time and making music from the heart.

While I'm glad physical media is still an option, there's no way to put this genie back into it's bottle. The complete democratization of popular music, I think, is a benefit, not a drawback. Not only does it allow more opportunities for artists who'd continue to be victims of systemic marginalization not even ten years ago, it also deemphasizes the need for consumers to keep up with trends to enjoy what they want. I feel like the longer we have streaming, the better artists will understand how to use it, the same way they did with movies, records, television and KZitem. More importantly, artists who gain a better understanding of it will figure out how to negotiate deals better than "a fraction of a cent for every thousand plays."

So, It is possible to treat streaming like a CD collection and re-live that magic of enjoying an album with no distractions. Now, when streaming services get used as background noise, that’s a big no-no for me.

It may sound pretentious af, but choosing to buy physical media instead of having limitless access to everything through streaming helps me remember the value of music and movies. It may not help the creators in any meaningful way, since the old consumer/creator relationship is practically dead, but it helps me to appreciate these things more instead of taking them for granted and demand that I have immediate access to them on my phone/tablet/laptop every second of every day. I'm just not in any way interested in that.

That point about there not being music "everyone" knows is pretty solid and a point I didn't think before. I remember when I was a kid, because the only way to consume music without spending money was to either listen to the radio, or watch MtV or VH1, there was a selection of Top 100 songs that everyone knew regardless of what kind of music fan you were. I think there are benefits to streaming, namely that I don't think it's a bad thing that people can end up finding niche genre's and artist due to how accessible music is nowadays. But, I think you're right that we no longer have this connection with each other because nowadays because can just stick to their playlists. I don't know if the answer is to entirely revert back to physical media, but I can agree that we should try and strike some type of balance.

You touched on a huge part of this. The biggest issue in my opinion in the age of streaming is that you don't really own the media anymore. Since its not a physical copy, you are perpetually dependent on, say, Amazon being up and running to access and consume the media you bought on those platforms. Sometime in the future when say Amazon has gone defunct, or the Xbox live servers go down, you won't be able to access the movies, games, music, etc that you bought. With physical media, it could be 70 years from now, I'm in my 90s, and still be able to pop in that record, or DVD, or Halo 3 for the 360 and still use it, assuming I keep the hardware in working order. A nuclear war could end modern civilization, but with physical media you can preserve the art and access it with nothing more than a generator and outlet.

This is especially if you have more than one of those streaming services and considering how often you would use them. With DVDs however, each one is a one time purchase and you're not spending any extra money on nothing.

This video is legit. As a musician I can say that streaming ruined things. When people were willing to buy CDs I had a bigger audience. I actually made a little bit of money. Then things went to people buying MP3s instead. And that was still basically OK even though I personally prefer a CD. But then Spotify happened and the bottom fell out. It's near impossible to get an audience now and even when you do Spotify only pays like a thousandth of a penny for a stream, so those CDs sales are definitely gone. People are willing to buy a record now so that's nice and I love records myself but producing records is a very large upfront cost to do it correctly and you'll never sell them all unless you're already very well known. CDs on the other hand are reasonably cost effective to make professionally but no one wants them now. Streaming has taken over. There really is something to be said though about buying a CD or a record and holding it, looking at it, reading it, listening to it and enjoying it that streaming will neve replicate. I think we lost something here. Both as listeners and as musicians.

@@DerivitivFilms it's not an illusion if I'm holding it and can use it at anytime without a middleman. How is streaming not an illusion of ownership?

@@brendanspiegel So you completely skipped over the part where I said to use streaming as a means to piracy, just capture the stream and save it, put it on a local media server and its yours forever.

@@DerivitivFilms Downloading isn't the same as streaming, discussing this on a video about the issue with streaming services isn't directly related. While it's not physical it also isn't streaming.

5:05 Disney Plus is a prime example of this problem. Sure Disney owns allot of shows, but they AREN'T all on Disney Plus. Aladdin series, Jungle Cubs, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Raw Toonage and many others are never on Disney Plus, yet some of these are diamonds in the rough compared to what is already on Disney Plus. Yet for some reason Disney corporation want you to watch some shows but NOT these ones.

I won't pay to rent via streaming. If I'm paying I want to own a copy. One that can't be censored or edited.

You approached this video in the worst possible way. We weren't better when record labels, music stations and tv channels controlled who was popular.
