The end of physical media is neigh


Very sad news for me personally.  Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist.   With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

When you stream you have no way of knowing the provenance of what you are listening/watching. Physical media has a provenance. That's what gives it value! When music/video becomes almost free it becomes worthless and will fade into obscurity. 

New players and media are readily available for all of the dead - vinyl, cd and now bluray.  

What's dying is us.
