I mean, it doesn't have to be worse to be bad. I've seen multiple studies that put streaming as having less of a carbon footprint than physical media, but then we use it more because it's so plentiful. I see it as the difference between ice cars vs electric. Capitalism isn't gonna let us find the efficient, eco-friendly alternative to cars or anything else because they're keeping us captive in their framework of discourse.
