Why I Still Buy Physical Media in 2025 | Streaming vs. Owning Your Movies

Описание: Welcome back to the Marvel Man Cave! In this video, I'm sharing my personal reasons for continuing to collect and buy physical media like Blu-rays, DVDs, and 4K discs in a world dominated by streaming services like Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Prime.

I'll dive into why ownership gives me the freedom to watch what I want, when I want, without worrying about content being removed from libraries. I'll also discuss the frustrating experience of split digital libraries and even changes to movie endings on streaming platforms.

This is a conversational video, so I want to hear from you! Do you still buy physical media? Or do you prefer streaming? Let's get the conversation started in the comments below.

Make sure to check out my other video on the cost of physical media linked in the description!
