I haven't given up on DVDs. Don't assume we've all abandoned the disc format, because I'm certain many of us still use them.
Making toxic trash and wasting resources just to be a hipster, we're all proud of you
You're a drip. I buy DVDs used from pawn shops and garage sales. I'm leaving a mouse-sized carbon footprint; there's no "toxic trash" that didn't already exist.
OK well in that case I commend you, though to be really good maybe you should download them to a drive after purchase and then you can donate the dvds for someone else or a community center.
