    I never stopped. I have streaming video and audio subscriptions, But I’ve never stopped keeping up my catalogs.

    Every time I get over invested in one company or another they end up going out of business or selling and reducing half of their catalog. I’ll give d+ their sub for Agatha, I’ll give Hulu their sub for Futurama. When Wednesday comes back I’ll swap D+ for Netflix for the season again. But every single one of those episodes still goes to my local archive The same as if I would have recorded or a VHS tape in the '90s.

      your foresight is much better than mine! I even deleted a bunch of my old stuff because, “I can just stream it whenever I want to watch it”… they took me for a fool, and they were right!
