Disc rot is not a threat to home video media. CDs, particularly CD-Rs, are subject to so-called disc rot, and I’ve experienced this personally; DVDs, highly unlikely and I’ve never seen a verified case of it; Blu-ray discs, not at all.

Unless we rewind to the early 2000s, no one pays $20 for a DVD, of all things. Maybe a Blu-ray disc.

Are you sure you’re not projecting your opinion on piracy onto the article? I didn’t get that read at all. Pirates are dramatically overrepresented in Reddit and Lemmy. I’m not talking about your comment, but frankly it’s kind of tedious seeing people brag in nearly every single home media or streaming related thread about how they’re very smart for pirating their media instead of paying for it. Particularly in the home video sub (primarily centered around Blu-ray discussion), they’re always making low-effort comments that add nothing to the discussion.
