How click-baity can you get? From reading the article, he was comparing the two and apparently not only has he not even cancelled Netflix, he basically says he's not sure he would ever be ready to give it up. As far as i can tell, he wrote the article basically to brag about having a Marshall appointment and kind of liking the feeling of buying the discs.

Yeah, aside from the fact that a lot of content is only available on streaming platforms, it's hardly a comparison budget wise. Even with regular Blu-ready discs, but especially for 4k UHDs, for the equivalent of Netflix premium you can buy maybe 10-12 discs a year, tops. And that's if you're not terribly picky. Some of the better titles are $35-40+. I guess if you only watch one movie a month on Netflix it's equivalent, but that's not how most people use the service.

I'm a big proponent of physical media. I don't like the takeover of renting media and over-compressed streaming.

But it's not like they're even close to equivalents.

normal blurays are cheap AF and high definition

Agreed. But the comparison was 4k vs 4k
