I burned an audio CD just a few weeks ago. My car doesn't have Bluetooth audio, so I've kept going old school all along. I bought a few stacks of empty CD-R's and DVD-R's when the stores wanted to get rid of them.

I have zero streaming subscriptions and no intention of getting any. The number of films, games and music albums I've bought from flea markets and second hand stores during the past 10 years has to be in the hundreds. And not one has cost more than 3$.

Even my kids haven't complained about the lack of streaming, they seem perfectly happy using my physical media library.

Yep, don't give in to ease of streaming, that's how they win, and take it all from you. Everyone needs to own what they pay for.

Yep. My brother has at least 4 streaming subscriptions that add up to closer to 100$ per month. I once asked him how much he actually uses them and his response was: "I don't know, many times a week! But it's nice to have them if I want to watch something!"

To me the idea of basically throwing away more than 1000$ per year is simply horrifying.

And not even owning it..and they'll keep upping the price little by little, slowly sucking us dry

I get them by ripping CD:s or digitizing vinyl albums.

EDIT: Typo.
