In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

They're among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.

Blurays are better quality than streaming.

4K Bluray is the highest quality you'll ever get in your home by like, a lot.

Streaming is a regression.

Streaming is progress in terms of convenience, but the trade-off is a lower image quality and forgoing ownership of the media you buy/consume.

These days I buy Blurays and rip them to my Jellyfin server. Worth it for me, but I would hardly call that process convenient.

Do you ever use any of the Bluray "connected" features where your disc wants internet access to fulfill the function? I must say, that's a major turnoff for me.
