Why Physical Media is Still Important in 2025: Don't Throw Out Those DVDs! | Tech Teardowns Ep2

In my second Tech Teardown video, I'll be looking into why physical media made a comeback in 2025 - and a good reason why you should hold off from boxing up your Blu-Rays or donating your DVDs to the local charity shop. Streaming services promise convenience, but the reality is quite different. Your favourite shows and films can disappear without warning, prices can keep rising, the service becomes useless if the internet goes down, you can't share with friends and family ... and you miss out on all the bonus features that made DVDs special. When you buy a DVD or Blu-Ray, you own it forever. One payment, no subscriptions, no surprises. In this video, I'll be breaking down why physical media still matters and why more people are choosing to own their entertainment again. Music composed by Kevin MacLeod.
