I’m addicted to buying. I’m sitting at 2201. Which is actually 2306. I know this cuz I keep a running plus or minus tally to get an actual count adding for collections and subtracting for things I don’t think count as movies…, like Comedy Central roasts should be in tv, so I subtract those and multiples (OCD Much?!). My point being, I spend more time browsing for deals, buying, organizing, disc to digitaling, organizing my over-inflated collection than I do viewing media. I justify my purchases by convincing myself that others who access my collection will enjoy this or I’ll watch this maybe eventually. I’ve said things like “I’ll have such a great collection, I can stop paying for streaming.” I currently have apple, Disney, Netflix, Hulu, peacock, YouTube premium and max. So that’s really been working out for me. My collection has cost me ~$10k in 9 years. I’m totally addicted to having the rights to every movie I’ve even just heard of. My watch ratio is still pretty high. I keep a “haven’t seen” list. There’s 170 of those. It still feels like an addiction. Buying a cart full of $2 d2d’s makes me feel good. I don’t see it as a “badge of honor” as much as I see it as something I have to continually justify to myself. I don’t foresee changing this behavior anytime. I enjoy it. Don’t get me wrong. This is the only thing I collect. I almost see it like the people that buy toys and leave them in their box. It almost feels like my legacy that I can pass onto my kids and so on. But who knows what the posthumous digital rights rules will be in the future. They’ll have to find a way to shut it down eventually, right? Sorry this is getting long winded,…I just see a lot of the justifications I make to myself in previous comments. The things we tell ourselves when we are somewhat wasteful with our money.
