The Return of Physical Media

I just saw another post referencing Sony's move from physical media. There have been many recent articles about the return of physical media. I am a millennial, and I have been on this trend for a while now. I remember the days when Netflix was the only streaming service, and you could watch practically everything there and even get DVD's in the mail as part of the subscription. Articles are even mentioning that Gen-Z is moving this way. I know many people who are also not spending on music or streaming services and buying physical media. I have also been tired of trying to find which streaming service has the movies or music I want to listen to. I've purchased the seasons on DVD or the Cd's. There are many more articles out there.

Is anyone else moving in this direction? If so, what are some of the media types you are moving to? There are even people buying modern music on vinyl.
