For me, they’re more trouble than they’re worth. For wanting to support your favorite artists, I’m rewarded with unskippable trailers and FBI warnings, and if you want to play Blurays on PC, well… Just take a look at this. Keydb files? BD+ decryption? What happened to just putting the stupid disc in the machine and hitting play?

With pirated movies and shows, I just double-click on a file and away I go. Why would I ever want to go back to Blurays?

    I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually seen a physical bluray disc in person.

    To me, “bluray” is a string of characters indicating that the person who ripped the file probably set their encoding bitrate an order of magnitude higher than they needed to.

    (fwiw I did purchase DVDs in the 90s, and I even bought something on laserdisc once since a friend had a LD player… but why would anyone buy media on fragile spinning discs after broadband became available?)
