I wouldn’t mind the idea of everything going digital. So long as we actually own the digital copies we buy. So long also as we are able to continually access said digital copies. We wouldn’t be having this physical vs digital debate going on for so long, if the practices of what companies like Sony and other media companies have been going about with handling digitally purchased content.
It’s a very stupid easy of a solution that has been continually fumbled time and time again. Because greed got in the way.
At first I did not mind ads on webpages because it was off to the side or at the top, and that was it. But those motherfuckers had to have more, so they made pop ups, and we all got pop up blockers until it became built into every browser. Then they started animating and autoplaying audio in their ads, and that was too far. So I looked into adblocking just to block the obnoxious bullshit, but it turns out it just blocked everything, which had the added benefit of improved flow of webpages because you didn’t have space taken up for ads at the top, sides, and in between content. Never looked back and never will.
