In one paragraph you complain about subscription services and in the very next one you admit that DVD and Blu-ray exist alongside all these streaming services. Now, I´m curious, exactly how does the existence of Netflix and Disney Plus stop you from purchasing your movies?

They still exist, yet the Orville doesn't come out on blu-ray anymore, The expanse S5 is still missing in action on blu-ray. Just two things I could watch on TV before but are now locked behind different streaming services.

It has also become more difficult to get movies on blu-ray. And imo the quality has gone down overall, but that could just be that I don't particularly enjoy these young folks shows and movies :p

Subscription services for music, tv and movies have changed the way they are made, for who they are made, and how they are delivered. Binge watching 6 episode seasons instead of 13 episodes over 13 weeks for example. The music album still exists but is rare nowadays. Movie extras on DVD and Blu-ray peaked over a decade ago and never came to streaming services.

But subscription services indeed don't stop you from buying what's left.
