people actually buy physical books still?
i feel like that's the biggest waste of space/resources. save a fkin tree
lol yea right. People keep thinking that this is 2006 or something. How do I watch this disc on my Ipad or phone. A lot of kids just watch their phone screen for entertainment not a tv.I'm very curious about the numbers tbh. I don't know anyone who has a dedicated player for movies, just game consoles
Would be funny if books and vinyls are the only physical media to prevail
The loss of ownership society has gravitated towards sure is depressing. They made it this convenient on purpose.
Yea it's kinda found its footing again thanks to book publishers finally getting better at social media. TikTok has also been a good boon for it. And as someone who used to read digitally but switched back to physical. It's a great way to just not stare at a screen all day haha.people actually buy physical books still?

I legit struggle to read e-books, there have been times where I've borrowed an e-book from the library, try and read it, and then just give up and either borrow a physical copy from the library instead or just go and buy it at Barnes & Noble.people actually buy physical books still?

I'm in the same position. Used to love going to Target to look at music, movies, and games. Now, I only go out of tradition alone, with my family each Christmas to look at ornaments.Going to miss browsing books and movies and games and a snack. Now I can just... Not go to Target, I guess.
It's really scary that we're heading into the inevitable direction of people not caring for owning shit due to "convenience" because all it screams to me is that we're gonna end up on the timeline where in 5-10 years people are gonna want to revitalize using DVD players/physical media again and instead of it being affordable, the prices are gonna skyrocket due to the rise in popularity we'll inevitably see during that era due to how bad Ads will get on streaming services or due to the pricing of streaming services targeting people out of their price range. I know people will say there's no way it'll happen but it just seems like the obvious direction we're heading in.
what I mean is a dedicated dvd player. Hell ill be surprised at the amount of people even PUTTING in a dvd player in their console. maybe a small amount.You claimed most people don't own Blu-ray or DVD players anymore, which simply isn't true. If you own a PlayStation or Xbox, you own a movie player. Physical sales are obviously down but "no one owns movie players anymore" just isn't correct.
tell me where the nukes are zeoThat's not how it works.
I'm followed by Obama but I don't know any government secrets.

It truly does. It's not shocking per say but I hate how much people are willing to see physical media die due to convenience with the ad-riddled future we're heading in, you'd think it'd be the last thing people would want.
This is potentially true and something most people could assume just by looking at their current selection of movies. But this isn't a reliable source, just like the thread about the "Sam Raimi in talks to direct Spider-Man 4" rumor wasn't from a reliable source. This account posts fake news and shit-posts.
when you walk into target theres nothing there except a starbucksIs this ALL physical media, as in no movies, books, records, games, everything?
Or is it just no movies and games?

Barnes and Noble seems to be making a come back so I guess there's a market there (at least bigger than for physical movies/music these days). I wonder if eReaders just haven't taken off in the same way.

feels like anyone could say target is getting rid of physical media and EVENTUALLY be rightThe weird thing about this guy, is that he does post actual exclusive things. He never posts sources much, and does do a lot of hot-takes, memes, and drama stuff, but if he says something is coming to 4k, it almost always does. He was the first source that posted about Best Buy doing away with in stores/online that I saw too, before news broke out officially everywhere. The AI stuff... not sure if it was a meme or he was had too.
As for Target, yeah I def believe This. When one company does something, they all decide to copy.

We're gonna be paying double, if not triple, the prices of some of these movies in less than 10 years because shit like this is probably gonna actually happen. It's so sad to say but you're so damn right.And when AI starts doing everything capitalism will figure out a way to make services still provided by actual people "artisanal" or something and charge people more for it
lol It'll happen

And what's even worse is that we're seeing these services we all love to use due to convience continuously rise in prices on a near 6 month occurrence (at least that's what it feels like) but yep, I totally agree with you. I don't want to lose the ability to actually own the shit I love.The amount people who are willing to give up stuff for convenience lately is insane honestly. First it was online privacy and shit and now giving up physical ownership of things.
All this crap with everything becoming a subscription is annoying me too. I like to buy things and only have to pay for them once. Not pay a monthly fee for all eternity just to have fucking access to something I buy.
Eventually stores are just going to be for food, clothes, and some home goods, aren't they?
Shipping will be a thing you do because you have to, not becaue it's a fun way to get out of the house.
We'll all just sit at home all day and have everything delivered or streamed to us. No need to go out and be part of the world.
I guess this is what I get for years of joking about how I'd like to be a hermit and never interact with people. Turns out I really like having excuses to go out and be around people.
We lost this war already, we're just fighting the inevitable sadly
