wish there was a way to be like, hey I didn't want to pay for your streaming service subscription for this show so I watched it free on a shady pirate streaming site, I liked it so here's a one time payment of ten bucks, consider making a season two (which I'll also be watching free on a shady pirate site)

the people yearn for DVD releases

Up until last year I worked in public libraries (I'm at an academic library now), and I can't overstate how popular DVDs still are. People would come in and routinely check out 20-30 at a time, watch them all, and then check out more. TV shows, new releases, and non-fiction were obviously huge, but DVDs are also one of the only places you can get older movies that aren't on streaming, foreign films, or just something that recently moved from one service to another. In the children's section we had literally a couple of hundred Scooby Doo DVDs from various eras and they got checked out all the time.

DVDs can be watched whenever you want to and in whichever pieces you want. There are no ads that pop up at any point (except for the easily skippable trailers that might be at the beginning). Also, if you have no internet at your home you can still watch a DVD. It has started to become difficult in the past several years because a lot of patrons would come in asking for DVDs of recent tv shows they had heard about only for me to have to tell them that the company had no current plans to release those shows to DVD.

Anyways, if you have a public library go in sometime and just browse the DVD collection. It's the best modern approximation of what it used to be like to wander around a Blockbuster, and you may find something you love that streaming would never offer to you.
