Accessibility is Shifting
Having the experience to have lived through every incarnation of home media, I can honestly say that it's a weird time and I don't like where things are trending. With VHS, it got possible but expensive to find good old stuff. Then DVD made it cheap and preserved aspect ratios. Then years of limitless manufacturing of players and discs, now that seems to be ceasing altogether. Both players and the media itself are at their ultimate least value currently. This is great for me, a bottom feeder of used physical media. What's next? I fear suddenly all discs will dry up and access of our entire culture will be paywalled off from us cheapskates.
Maybe this will be good for libraries.
