“Look it up on Netflix” is the phrase everybody’s heard, how do you deal with that?

I’ve done a mixture of different approaches, either by getting the film somewhere else (legally, of course) or just saying I don’t use X service.

      I mean my personal issue with it is that a lot of content is not that good to be like I will rewatch that and wanting a copy. Like buying a tv show season just to find out is not your thing… sucks even if you still can sell it again.

      For some stuff I would be tempted to buying a bluray or so but yeah not like the old days when it was the only way.

        That’s a huge benefit of digital content: you can just delete the file and move on, or change the channel.

        Buying a few seasons of a show you didn’t like and then having the boxsets laying around sucked.

      I don’t miss a stack of stuff, digital stuff is good (it’s all just the same data anyway).

      But subscriptions, rentals and other crap, nah. If I like something, I want to archive it for future use. Heck even if I don’t like something I wanna have the option.
