Blueray is being discontinued slowly, the only manufacturers of drives left are LG (terrible reliability) and Pioneer (great reliability but slow if you are backing up and for 4K usually locked down blocking ripping). Ironically I hear DVD sales are still going somewhat strong because of the the last cohort of boomers clinging onto physical media. It feels like maybe we got a few more years left and then its over. The only people using physical media then will be hipsters looking for nostalgia.

I try to support it as much as I can, buying vinyls on Bandcamp not to listen to them but to look at them, support indie artists, and collect stuff but if companies stop releasing the new stuff then what do we do?
