The issue with streaming, for someone who thinks like me anyway, is that
there are so many services you would have to subscribe to in order to get
what you want. I know people who have replaced cable with streaming but
when I talk to them about what services they have, and then calculate the
cost, cable (and owning physical media) comes out cheaper.
I do get the take up space bit, though. I am old enough that I have a lot
of VHS tapes that I recorded things on over the years. A lot of them are
getting thrown out as I get a chance. They take up a lot of space on
shelves that could be used for things I would get more use out of now.
