Blu-ray, vinyl records, maybe cassettes are your thing! Physical media is underrated.
Some reasons physical media is great.
• It’s fun to curate a collection of favorites
• They come in fun packagin and sometimes include fun bonuses (cards, stickers, bonus features/tracks)
• Streaming services suck. They’re like landlords for your favorite movies and TV shows.

whether films, books, vinyls or cds - physical media is great and important. nothing more satisfying than seeing your collection grow and being able to watch/listen to anything you want, no matter if it’s on a streaming service or not

I LOVE PHYSICAL MEDIA!! I love doing anything I can to have something in physical form in this age of things only being on your phone. Tickets for concerts and movies and rides, dvds, cds, vinyls, paperback books, I need all of it!!!

i rly like collecting my absolute favorite music / movies / books on audio because then it cant be taken away when a streaming service decides to get rid of it. u dont have to curate EVERY single thing u like but the really special stuff that u feel is intrinsic to you should make the cut. it makes it more special that way. physical media feels like something to be taken care of, like a plant or a pet. its a precious, physical manifestation of your life and preferences and personality. the only downside is if ur in a house fire u can't save them but other than that i think physical media does more good to collect than harm.

The guy got my attention with, “Hey, I like your shoes.” Just like that, he had me. We talked about where I bought the shoes and how I used to work in the shoe industry. He used to work in the beer industry but had recently become independently wealthy because of an investment opportunity he started with a few of his friends.
”You get to be your own boss,” he told me. Your boot could be on your own neck. We’re back to the topic of shoes.
He told me it’s a small investment to get started but things are really taking off and I could get in on the ground floor. I could quit my job. Work for myself. Had I ever considered doing something like that?
“No,” I said with a shrug. I walked away with my jar of peanut butter. I can’t remember if it was creamy or crunchy. Probably crunchy.
Nice guy!

I haven’t been on Twitter for years and hardly touch FB, but I had been an active user on Instagram since 2012. I really like taking and sharing photos, and that had always been a fun place to do it.
No more.
With the changes the content moderation changes they’re making, leaving LGBTQ+ folks vulnerable to be targeted; their rolling back of DEI programs; their willing participation in far-right rhetoric and politics; it’s all too much and I’m out.
As if Meta’s platform hadn’t already been increasingly enshittified, this was the final straw to announce how much worse it will get.
And you know what? It feels freeing. Better to leave it behind and find new platforms to connect with people.
