Fewer and fewer movies and TV series are being released in physical format, but streaming platforms do not provide enough for some film buffs, who miss the extras they offered
Yes, DVD quality does suck, which is why I also included Bluray, which is 1080p for standard, or 4k for the Ultra HD. I get DVDs of animated kids shows (e.g. Bluey), and Blurays of feature-length movies.
And I don’t get movies for the moral, I get them for the cinematography, acting, storytelling, and special effects, all of which are way higher quality than what smaller creators can manage. I also watch content from smaller creators, and perhaps more from them vs the big studios, but I do like watching a full-length film from a major studio.
The key, IMO, is to not fall into the trap of thinking you own content you “bought” digitally. Digital licenses can be and have been revoked (see RedBox closure, and Sony’s attempted revocation of content). It doesn’t really matter what you choose to watch, just understand when you actually own content, and when you’re just renting it.
