At this point, we might be getting to the place where paid TV plus DVR would cost people less than the streaming services that tried to replace it.

Its currently cheaper for me to collect used laserdiscs, dvds, and blurays.

People are dumping physical media, and its a firesale. For most discs its $1-5 if you know where to look.

It's even cheaper to own a DVD burner. Less money spent on rent storing things.
