General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

While I would argue that the writer is confusing the distinction between digital and physical vs digital and analogue, this piece is interesting.

Also, I now really want to visit that shop in Hamner, Ontario.

I saw an article a few days ago that said that sales of physical media (specifically CDs, IIRC) are up significantly, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding decrease in streaming popularity.

That piece suggested that the "collectible" factor may be greater than any streaming backlash.

I read that too! I should have said I think both things are true, I'm just not sure they're tightly correlated.
