The streamers are guilty of the same mindset that most of 21st Internet business has been based on: treating whatever they sell as a collective commodity and not individual items of value, and hiding the good things in among crap. Whereas with a DVD or Blu-Ray purchase you're only getting the movies and TV shows you WANT to see (plus additional related material in some cases), and you feel more satisfied with that (or I do).

And, yes, I know the film studios have always been guilty of mistreating what they make, but that's where the critics and fans exist to point out their mistakes.

Fuckin' hell can we not make every little contrarian thing I do into a movement. I'm gonna start picking my nose in public or something, try making a thing of that.

Seriously though didn't make it through the whole argument, but yes to it. Streaming sucks. Owning things is nice.
