People are into vinyl and tube TVs again. Barnes & Noble just opened a huge branch in a hot (meaning: expensive) neighborhood here in Chicago. I guess people like physical things again.
I see it in a different light. The people that were raised on digital goods finally have the money to purchase physical goods.
Might be both. I know a couple of 20s that love physical media. Its crazy to think about, but they stated their childhood was mostly screens and rectangles. They both like Vinyl which is crazy to me. They are working their first jobs too.
I think people are catching on to these digital services can remove things you bought or they even fold. You own a physical item it is yours to do as you please with it
Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…
i have the money but not the space. i used to have a subscription back in ps2-ps3 gen but the world has changed. now i just follow a few people on youtube, pateron and use sites like this or reddit for news.
Damn, can we escape the encroaching hellscape by transporting everyone back to 1998? 🫰
Yes please. To quote time traveling reporter Ryan George "PLEASE bring me back to the 90s! The future is dumb, and nothing makes sense, and I hate it!"
