Gen Z fallen to the fallacy that you won’t own anything, smh

Just think of all the amazing content from decades past, even movies from not long ago in the 90s, that many gen z will never see and experience and enjoy in their whole lives because they can’t buy or rent or play dvds any more, don’t use torrents, and streaming providers have very little content from years or decades past. It a loss.

A legitimate reason to own a current-gen gaming console: unlike most gaming PCs, they still have optical drives.

But then you still need to get the DVDs from somewhere and most people don't want to buy a movie just to watch it, and renting DVDs is a thing (mostly) of the past.

Your local public library is a great source for these--they even have Blu-Rays! I used to take out disks all the time, until my kids came along

I think that’s highly regional, and probably limited lifespan. Enjoy it while it lasts. Here in Europe, I haven’t seen a DVD or a CD in a library in many years.

God! I just went there. I hope they know how to use ad blockers at least lol

They might not know torrents per se, but I think most at least know that stremio and popcorn time exist - I have no sources, but I'd expect most torrents nowadays to be consumed that way.
