Nolte: Best Buy to End Sales of Blu-Rays and DVDs
John Nolte 5 Jan 2024
- Best Buy will stop selling physical media this year, according to numerous reports.
*** begin quote ***
“The move away from physical media has been attributed to the changing habits of [stupid] consumers, who increasingly prefer streaming and digital downloads over traditional physical formats,” per the report. “This trend has been evident over the last decade as DVD and Blu-ray sales have experienced a significant decline.”

What’s the matter with you people?
This is our art! And you’re going to leave it in the hands of left-wing multinational corporations like Disney, Apple, and Amazon?
Hey, it’s no skin off my nose. I got mine, and I’m going to keep right on getting mine. But if you have a movie or book or TV show or video game you love, you are facing a future where it will either get disappeared, be censored, or made available only through a monthly subscription service.
I refuse to live in that future.

I learned this lesson when all my books on cassette were made obsolete and I was urged to rebut the same content on CDs. I griped to anyone who listen and fell on the deaf ears of all the politicians and bureaucrats. I refused to buy it all again.
Then the car makers dropped the cassette players. And, I was really screwed. So I used drive with a portable cassette player in my truck and my car. Finally the tapes began to wear out and I just gave up.
I still hate the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats for “copyright” law that makes me “license” content that I “buy”.
Sorry, but I’m not buying into the whole scam.
Like “lifetime guarantees”, the value of a dollar, and “jumbo shrimp”, I can recognize a scam from a long way off and here comes the next one. Before long, every streaming “service” will force you to pay for everything al la carte IN ADDITION TO a low monthly “membership fee”.
Argh!
And the rubes aka “We, The Sheeple” will hail “progress”. Not me.
