This is a good point. It’s also the reason I have a massive dvd collection. It’s not quite as convenient but now I don’t have to worry about Netflix taking off my favorite show or not being able to find my favorite 80s movie.

I had a media collection in college on some streaming platform, I think it was fandango. Anyway, I had a dozen or so movies on there that I enjoyed. I lost my password, I couldn't recover it. Like $100 of media, gone.

And in the scheme of things, I guess I don't really care. Lesson learned... but I am not going through a repeat with my library collection. I don't want to risk losing all the stories I've read.

I'll stick to actual books. Only way to lose them is in a house fire and if that happens, I'll probably have bigger issues to deal with.
