I disagree with many of the author's points. But I'm still in camp physical.

Really, the draw of physical media for me is in tangible ownership—that is, ownership that doesn't require a separate entity to confirm after sale.

Having tangible ownership over something gives you the freedom to do with it what you wish. That means ripping CDs, copying programs, lending copies, etc. It's enabling second-order actions without (greatly) hindering primary actions.

The saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words." I've found the exchange rate to be more dynamic. Many ideas are better put with words. Others with images. What I take issue with is the idea that words and images are in competition. Each has its own use case. Contorting an image to do the job of a word demonstrates a lack of communicative ability, and vice-versa.

The newest Garmin Instinct has a transflective display iirc

I've been getting this feeling about YouTube lately. Every channel seems to produce videos that offer nothing (save entertainment) in return for my watching. I don't want that! I want something better. So my question is how can I counteract the wasteland?
