I believe you 100% (and piracy is even cheaper) but browsing in person is something I truly miss. And it makes sense for digital access to be cheaper because there's nothing to rewind/wipe clean and no need to replace stock that breaks/gets lost/gets stolen. I hear you in that it's faster and more convenient to go digital like that, but there's something almost therapeutic about taking your time and walking and using your hands. It's intentional. It's active. It's a whole thing. It's like the difference between getting fast food from a drive through versus walking through a few blocks of a city and choosing a good restaurant and sitting down and enjoying a cultivated experience. I know I'm exaggerating the impact, but not by as much as you might think.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
