great work 👏👏👏

Well done on the video. The production, organization, commentary very well executed 👏🏿

Great video and I’m glad more folks are starting to realize this. Physical media, and any tangible assets are better than renting/subscribing. I also want to add, I love that older DVD’s put great special features and bonuses. You really got so much more than just the film/TV show. They don’t put that effort in streaming AT ALL.

i think it really depends on where you live tbh. some libraries are huge and active with tons of events, classes, resources, etc. while others are much smaller and offer none of these things. i think if you live in a smaller town most libraries tend to just be a place to check out books and maybe read quietly :/ but i’m sure in bigger cities libraries have a lot more to offer

Go to church!

Omg, your childhood experience with media is exactly the same as mine! My grandparents recorded animal planet for us in the same fashion, & my parents used the Netflix dvd service to borrow 60's tv shows for us to watch.

Little did we know...

Normal chill spots have dissappeared long before 2020. Consumerism is destroying lives

funny how you colour your eyes on the thumbnail

I just got a library card. Haven’t had one in 20 years!! Keep it up.

Been doing this since a couple years ago 🔥🔥🔥

Over the last 10 days I went and re-ripped my CD collection, this time to FLAC instead of MP3 like 15 years ago. Having used streaming services exclusively (as I don't even own a CD-Player anymore), I was shocked how much better physical media sounds. It's not an eye (or ear)-opening difference, but very noticable, since everything online has been compressed to hell and back these days and we just got used to that.

Thank you for this video. I spent the last two days trying to learn Notion, and its so incredibly overstimulating and overwhelming. It just feels like more digital clutter to me, and I hate that I literally have to *learn* how to use it. I was even considering paying for templates because mine don't look the way i want them to. I love writing things down in my notebooks. I've completely filled out physical planners in the past few years and got a lot done. I used to journal and write down my dreams which improved my memory. Writing things down is the way!

Cutting the streamers, flying the flag and going full Blu Ray for the stuff I really love. This is the way.

I own hundreds of DVDs and Blu-rays.

My library has ‘a free to take and bring’ costume rails for Christmas jumpers, Hallowe’en and World Book Day costumes. These garments can end up being expensive and can end up in landfill. Saving pennies and the planet, plus getting whole families into the library…what’s not to love??

My libraries near me are awesome one has movie days and the other one has 3d printers

Amen brother physical Media is forever i much rather have something to hold in my hand if the apocalypse ever happens I'll still be watching movies 😂

Your handwriting is the most adorable thing I've ever seen♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I've got 3 binders of DVDs that I bought used from the library bookstore 😂. I'm a fulltime Nomad and cell service for streaming is unreliable.

My library is my 3rd place, i go there a couple times a week and Ive pretty much gone to every Discover and Go location too. I wish i could host a themed bookish movie marathon. I do them at home alone but it would be so much fun to do them with others. For example, tomorrow im beginning an Anne of Green Gables (1985) marathon. I have Rasberry cordial (rasberry lemonade) lemon cookies, scones with lemon curd or cherry preserves, chicken salad and egg salad. It's going to be fun ❤

I'm all in on Blu-ray for purchases these days. I never really cared about 4K, 1080p was always good enough to me. After my 4KBD crapped out, I tried 4K digitals for awhile but I just don't like the idea that I don't own anything. After seeing how Redbox shut down and left people hanging, that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Digital is fine for rentals or the occasional free movie; but purchases will always be physical for me. Either that or I'll acquire a streamrip that I can burn to a disc.

I'm obsessed with libraries but the ones in my city mostly close at 5pm and all are closed on Sundays. Obviously for most working adults that pretty much cancels it out as a third space :'(

I have a 400 disc case filled with sitcoms from the 70's to 00's. This is all I need for the rest of my life.

My library is amazing. The have all kinds of programs for everyone on a lot of topics. We learned the basics of dungeons and dragons and met new friends in our area because of their “dragons in the library” day 😁

Loved this video! I'm a big advocate for libraries.

Any video talking about the perks of the local library is an immediate like. And the idea of playing board games at the library sounds like so much fun ! Also if you want to get back into a reading habit, go to your library’s website and join their seasonal reading challenge. AND if your ADHD requires body doubling, then there are libraries that has silent book clubs ❤

This is good advice, especially once you retire and there's no more workplace.

What cam is that?

Some cafes and non profit organizations hold events in my country and thats how i do it, we all need a community. We all need a purpose. Activism did that for me❤

Apple TV has the best picture quality (and sound). When the physical 4k movies have a digital code, I redeem them on Apple TV. I know that Apple is NOT going to go out of business.

First of all, libraries are a great social service. That said, all of the problems your library 'solves' are self-inflicted. Coffee shops, diners, and bars are dying for people to come in and the idea that you're 'isolated by technology' is a problem of your own design. As is this obligation to make every time someone comes over an "event" as you put it. And religious beliefs/issues aside, the nationwide decline of organized religion is a major factor here. Even so, the "lack of third spaces" complaint just doesn't hold water. The amount of businesses that would love people to come in and spend just a couple bucks is hard to count. Go to a bar, coffee, shop, restaurant, diner, bowling alley, arcade, driving range, park, gym, movie theater, bookstore, hiking trail, mall, climbing gym, local men's or women's club, or a million other options if you just really can't stand the idea of going to your friends' places. And if you can't afford any of these, including a $2 cup of black coffee, you've got bigger problems to worry about than adequate places to socialize.

my library has absolutely nothing fun to do.

they have weights in the library now? i can replace my gym "subscription" with it? no? ok stfu

I found Inglorious Bastards and Wolf of Wall Street for under $5 at Savers and Second Avenue

VPC + NAS + any private tracker you can get into

As someone who sells coffee and books, I love my local library. Mine has a café too. Don't usually take part in much of their events, but I can sit and read with or without a coffee. They have free Wi-Fi, they do chess tables (and other board games too) through the week and community puzzles to be completed too. All good stuff.

LOVE

I saw that you have American Graffiti in your bag! When I was 14, I wanted to check other work George Lucas had done besides Star Wars, and so I went to Amoeba and bought that exact copy of the movie with the original and its sequel. Ever since I watched it it has been my favorite, even 16 years later. Also, I just started attending my local city library as they've begun hosting movie screenings in their projection room this summer. I've made some suggestions and it appears some of them were considered for the Halloween season.

hi nomad need youtube thumbnails designer at cheap rates?

You are pleasant.

I use Libby (the app) almost every day to isten to free Audiobooks (just need your library card number). Also, no ads is so nice.

I started buying used books and DVDs this year and it's such a 90s vibe 😊✨

Dude, same. I write my grocery list on post-its still. 😅

One antidote to feeling isolated can be volunteering, so think about becoming a library volunteer or joining your Friends of the Library organization.

I love my library, I really do. It's a great resource for ebooks and physical books that has saved me a lot of money. It's expanding its collection of audiobooks all the time. It has a platform for movie streaming that I'm hoping will offer a wider selection soon. But DVD and CD rental costs extra per loaned item - still loads cheaper than buying, but you lose the carefree "oooh this looks interesting let me grab it - I've nothing to lose anyway". Many of the events cost extra, and quite a lot too, so I only go when I'm really interested. Most of the staff aren't very welcoming and make me feel belittled when interacting with them (which, thankfully, is usually only when I renew my card). I wouldn't ever give up my library membership, but the place needs so much work.

I sold almost everything of my DVD and VHS. To getting everything back in my home would take up so much space and cost😢 But I am worrid about how much content we will lose going forward. With digital only

Yo you kinda look like jacksepticeye
