Yeah, I’ve had a few CDs rot, but I also treated them poorly. This article is a bit sensationalist with its timeframe IMO. Treat with care and they should last longer than 20 years.

Definitely an alarmist headline going around. I am curious how long a VHS tape is usable (google says they degrade 10-20% in 10-25 years, thanks google?), but nothing lasts forever. There's a point to be made about studios preserving prints/negatives and the continuation of physical media distribution, but from a technological level this is kinda pro-streaming; the problem is rights maintenance and proper stewardship thereof, as well as preservation and distribution.

I've been slightly pivoting towards physical media, trying to buy a disc if I know I'm going to watch something at least twice and it's not the specific moment I want to watch the thing (say, am I making this up, or did Amazon previously discount the rental cost of a movie if you decided to purchase it?).

Which brings me to Anora, a movie I want to watch again but am not 100% sure I'd throw on any old day (my wife's progressive and pretty feminist, but (or and?) she may wonder why I'm so into the sex worker movie). Still on the fence there.
