Physical media is great, but there's very little I actually care to own.

• Movies: I can count on one hand the movies I've watched more than once. I don't see the point of having DVD cases just collecting dust on a shelf.
• Music: Too unpractical. I just want my music stored digitally on my hard drives and iPod so I can listen offline, never stream.
• Games: I own a few physical games that matter to me, like the first Mass Effect or Fallout: New Vegas, but only the ones that really mean something to me or aren't available on PC, either natively or through a good emulator.

I used to collect vinyl and ended up hoarding over 50 records, but luckily I stopped myself before it got out of hand.

I cancelled my streaming subscriptions a while ago. Every time I make a Amazon purchase, I toss in a 4K movies on sale.
Far more worth it than a streaming subscription.

Let's not exaggerate. The drive for physical is largely a fad IMO, hippy kids finding something to do. As others have mentioned - you re-watch or re-read a vast minority of what you own, all those movies are just filling out space till either you decide to donate/sell almost all one day or you die and your kids will do likewise or just throw it away. Not to mention companies learned it and will scam you with super-never-seen-before-deluxe edition with a few plastic gimmicks (made in China) for $99 or more.

I have very, very few book series that I bought in entirety in one shot just because they together look nice on the bookshelf. A few coffee books, that's it. Instead I have quite a lot of paintings in my house.

Same with media - yes, I don't own things, but instead of 10 cables behind the TV stand I have three hidden behind the piano - Apple TV, TV, wi-fi router.

I greatly prefer my space not cluttered by objects. If you see many rich people's homes this is also what you see - no clutter.

If you find it not worth to own, you can sell it. Can't do that with digital.

I am afraid to check how much I've spent at Barnes and Noble on 4K UHD discs from the Criterion Collection and A24 collector's editions.
