    Still using my tapes today. Work great and they do what I want, no ads, no subscriptions, I own it. Younguns missed out on the best time. They wont own a thing and will be consumed with ads and depression

      It’s shocking how apathetic many people have become to this. I don’t want any kind of ad anywhere. When I have to use a browser that doesn’t have my essential plugins installed every second of the experience feels like I’m taking poison damage.

        Studies have shown ads cause depression. But holy crao are people desensitized now. Its infuriating.

        I’m exactly the same. My other half doesn’t know how good she’s got it 😂 I’ve ad-proofed as much of her stuff as I can.

      There are ways to own very high quality movies. Those ways just happen to not be legal. Still less of a hassle than maintaining a physical media collection.

      I do own a record player so I see the point of added physicality though.
