I recently moved the old archive to a new drive and started adding to it again. The enshittification of all the things is real, seems like if it’s something I’d like to re-watch or listen to the only sane way I’ll be able to do so is by making sure I have a copy some company can’t yoyo around.
I started doing the same with dvds. I was the guest on a shared Netflix account. I was almost done with Avatar The Last Airbender when they started doing their lockout shit, so the next night I got the whole damn series and Legend of Korra on dvd. I forgot how awesome commentary and behind the scenes content can be.
And your local library has been hoarding dvds for years too so you can also use that, not to mention digital options.
