> I tend to think of it like this - if netflix takes a show off that I watch constantly, I might buy the series online. If Netflix as a whole goes down along with all the other streaming services, then the whole internet and society is probably down, and I suddenly don't care about all the media I'd be consuming, because there's bigger stuff happening in the world.

What if Netflix bans you from using their service?

Then you virtually always still have the opportunity to purchase physical copies of the media you're interested in. It's still at an order-of-magnitude markup over streaming it, but there's little reason to pay that cost upfront if it isn't necessary.
