"rent CD"
You mean... "borrow"? "Rent" implies payment.
Also. Who the fuck is borrowing CD's, what is this, 1999?
Physical media is coming back because owning is better than licensing.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Walk into any music store. Or bookstore. Or a Half Price Books, which sells both. People are sick of paying for the capricious hands of streaming to tell them what they're allowed to watch or read or listen to on any given day.
Walk into a specialised sex-store for a very specific fetish, and you'll see lots of people with that very specific fetish.
I don't think that would mean that the fetish is taking over society.
Yes, I know that some people value physical media. But most don't. Most people value convenience. That's what enables enshittification. If everyone was actually as sensitive to corporate bullshit as the people who you're talking about, corporate bullshit wouldn't survive.
Most people are idiots. What can you do?
I'm not talking about "everyone in the world," I'm talking about "more people than ten years ago."
I recognize that the internet is allergic to context and nuance, but seriously.
