Jellyfin (Or Plex if you have to deal with the "Spouse Factor") + Radarr and Sonarr + Usenet
Perfection, no annoying physical media to worry about, but you still get to keep the data you...uhh.."acquired"
-
I dunno, Jellyfin UI looks pretty good no?
-
I've only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?
-
I use Stremio/Torrentio/RealDebrid, is there any practical reason to switch?
-
i dont have a desktop or a server that can run this stuff constantly yet. but is usenet still good for the "discussions?" i thought there were better free versions.

I genuinely believe more people would have kept uaing physical media if they made it more convenient just to pop in a movie and play it.
Everytime I put in a 4k blu Ray, there's like 40 seconds of useless loading screens, unskippabble warnings, menu animations, and other bullshit. It feels like the old days of massively overcooked multimedia "experiences" in the worst way possible.

I ripped our physical media, and the experience is way better. I wish I could just buy and download a .mkv or .avi or whatever.

You can rent (until your service decides to stop selling that content) and download a DRM-locked copy only playable in one app that's 1/5 the bitrate. Is that not good enough for you?
What if we include a full screen ad whenever you pause. You're not watching anyways, what's the harm?
Oh, also, did you hear about our other content and services? We would like to remind you of all of those every time you start to watch something - we don't consider them advertisements, just important feature updates, so you can't remove them.
Aand... you HAVE to be connected to the internet to watch, because we made this really cool AI thing that watches literally everything you do, sends it to our servers, and sometimes happens to recognize which characters are on screen so you can access their IMDB pages through your TV while watching the movie for some reason, like that's a normal thing people want to interrupt their movie experience to do.

Best we can do is enshitification. Hope your standards steadily lower throughout your life.

The best bit is that Blu-ray supports âonline contentâ so they can update the forced intros and trailers to fresh ones!
-
And it's a great way to make sure you get an up to date ad snuck in there.
I still like physical media, but every corner of everything just has to be jam packed with ad crap and other distractors now
