I read comic online to but owning a physical copy is a must for me. It feels like you owned a piece of history of comic book. I have thousands of comic book in my personal collection. But the holy grail for me that I still didn't have in my collection is the 1984 #1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1st printing. I'm a huge fan of the Tmnt and i am still looking for it in high grade condition so that i can display it in my room. So yeah, reading comics online is good because you don't have to spend money on it but owning and buying comic book is so much better. It feels like you have accomplished something big in your life.
