I ditched Netflix years ago, and am not interested in any other streaming services. As a result, I have gone back to physical media.
It's been really, really great, actually. I may not be able to get streaming originals, but personally, that's not been even a little issue. There is more excellent stuff available in the existing catalog of physical media than I have time left in my life to see anyway.
I've also been buying new and used DVDs and Blu-Ray that have movies and shows that I hold dear, and rediscovering old favorites. That's been great.
