Blu-Ray is way more popular than laserdisc but will most probably be the last ODD standard made for mass market. Streaming is the way to go.

So you honestly think people, at some point, will never want to own anything? Just fork over money to "see" things? I really think that at some point, we're going to see the streaming thing level out. It's new, it's hip... but is it built to last? 

Look at vinyl. By all reasoning, it should be dead but it's actually growing and it's because there is this counter culture wave of people who want ownership and quality. I can see the same thing happening with movies. At some point, it's going to go too far, and we're going to see a rebirth and growth of physical media again.

Why do people always think in absolutes? Seriously. I said the last odd standard for the mass market. 

I don't know what is so hard to understand from that. Vinyl is growing? Fine. But growing is a relative word. It is still a niche and will never ever be for the masses again. 

And of course there will always be people who want to own something. There will always be people who don't behave like masses in different kinds of aspects in their life.

It's the same when people make threads with “am I the only one who thinks...“ no, of course not.
