Curious what others use to store media for home/remote use.
I naively assumed my purchases from [company A] would mean I have permanent/immutable access. Even in the case of access not being revoked, I've found content itself changes over time. Usually related to jokes which have "not aged well" let us say.
I'm not here to champion leaving in that content. Or defend nostalgic rewatching. It just feels strange to not acknowledge.

A limited selection of CD/DVD/BluRay, a large collection of songs in mp3 & other formats (many ripped from CD myself @ some point, others downloaded), a bunch of movies in h264/h265 etc (mostly via torrents).
Books / documentation / retrogames & more on various devices.
Generally when adding anything, I look for replay value. Play/watch/listen once & never revisit stuff I save to /dev/null.
In common between all the above: storage media under my control, and useable offline.
