CD's are a physical object that you own and can not ve taken away from you due to a change in a license agreement. Its the same reason people like to collect physical games. I genuinely do not understand how you can be confused by that.
it's JUST a physical medium, but not a very efficient/dense one. having the same data on NAS or even cloud accessible anywhere is much more convenient and can provide the exact same data.
I was an avid Battlefield 1943 player. The PS3 DVD can't be played anymore because servers are shut down. You can't even get into the tutorial. That game is 15 years old so you can be assured that newer CD / DVDs will be affected at some point too. In the internet world all this talk about "buy CDs" is pretty futile.
@@cURLybOi Kiind of, cds/dvd's/blu-rays still definitely have their place, even for modern data hoarders. Sometimes you want to have a physical object that does one thing, and speed doesn't really matter.
i guess people buy the old CDs not only for the "losslessness" of that distribution channel but also the previous masterering versions that might not have been so much dynamic range limited for higher loudness. although streaming platforms actually ended the loudness wars by normalizing content, i would argue that the worst masters were the CDs right before streaming services started doing that
if you read this, luke, trust me on this. all of my friends are pissed that canon doesn’t have an RF fisheye lens, as we all have to still shoot on our EF-mount cameras for skate videos.
Consoles with cartridges would be amazing if they used 200+ gb sd cards and we would actually own the whole game in physical form as it was before, and no longer be dependent on a server to download the rest of the game that isn't on CD.

CD's are worth owning, the audio quality shits all over streaming and especially MP3. There's a problem if tech guys have forgotten how much better lossless physical media is.
There's a good bit of music you can buy online, in a digital format without DRM-- but that doesn't make CDs a wrong choice or anything. They're cool! They're a nice mix between the practicality of full-digital and the physicality of vinyl. Anyone who can't see that is just silly.

I found an old Sony Mavica floppy disk digital camera at an oddities store, and instantly bought it, as my dad had one in the early 2000s, and I loved using it. My childhood was captured in 640x480, so to take crappy pictures again of my family and cats felt incredibly nostalgic.
As someone who grew up with my mother's no-screen film camera and watching family home videos recorded on a camcorder straight to VHS tapes, I often find myself nostalgic for those times and that media. It's comforting and homey.
Dude, CDs are cool. It's not even just the music, it just feels different. I think the extra hassle of getting away from the PC and putting the CD in a stereo helps me in a weird way. It feels better to sit down in a dark room, away from everything and just actively listen to music. Music isn't just something that I put on in the background while I'm doing something, listening is the thing that I'm doing. And I like to own nice things I guess.
Indeed, I have a few CDs myself (although my lack of CDs compared to 15 years ago is due to events beyond my control). Granted I've seen people actively hostile towards the notion of keeping physical media (and, while I'm at it, the use of CRTs.)
Ooh! I wonder if your CD players amp has a different frequency response curve! Obviously not all amps are going to amplify like 100% to the way it was, and with alot of amps we like the way they change or transform the signal! So it could also be that? Or maybe its just kinda neat who knows!
@@SethCrowderMusic I think it's the "it's kinda neat" category. Just a different way of appreciating music, one that I enjoy more. For me it doesn't even need to sound objectively better, it's just that this way of listening to music makes it subjectively better.
Last year, my girlfriend and I bought a 90s minidisc camcorder from a thrift store. Its pretty cool. But we only bought it because it was a functional camcorder with functional batteries for $4. No way we would've wasted the amount that a lot of people are asking for these things these days.
I hope gaming cartridges become popular again. I already have to buy a new microSD for each chonker video game to download to. At least with cartridges, the console company is sourcing the storage, and it can be free of depending on the internet for download.
cinema theater industry is responsible for their slow death - i used to go for those 2 for tuesday deals - i didn't mind the 8$ popcorn and drinks - but now i can get pretty much the same in my living room with 99 cent popcorn and drink. my last movie in a theater i thnk was star trek in 3d or someting and that experience was not worth the 40$ per person
I don't get their take on it, technically all of this is reducing e-waste and repurposing old objects, it's a good thing, though the price on old digital cameras is insanely high for what they offer (not nearly as much as a film camera)
Right there with you. People underestimate the value of owning your music. Used CDs are cheap, and the format is easily rippable to lossless FLAC with free software. A local library doesn't consume data on your phone's datacap.
I've always had the mentality that ANYTHING you send elsewhere via the internet (yes, even your cloud service) is likely to permanently exist on some drive or server not in your control. Yes, all your nudes sent or stored elsewhere will likely exist in perpetuity somewhere without your knowledge or consent. This is not new to the most tech savvy of us (likely everyone watching this channel) but it is not common knowledge to the masses. I make it a point to convey this to anyone who will listen, and to those who don't want to hear it I just wish them well.
Good take. It's pretty obvious now how others are scraping, stealing, and utilizing content in a thousand different ways; it's the responsibility of creators to understand those challenges and adapt to it.
Maybe, but if you are using their content at least give something back like UA-cam. And just to play devil's advocate I don't think most channels will agree right now to license their content to train AI, maybe 5 years ago when nobody knew the potential.
wait so google can sue over people scrapping youtube but, ai bros say artist can't sue over their art getting scraped what the actual hell?! by this definition netflix is on the internet so it can legally be pirated.
13:48 aren't they mad because games became online only? Why is linus mad because people want to store their own media? I would love to have all the ps2 games I've ever owned.
It’s one thing with videos, (and even there I think there’s a difference between someone downloading for their own use and a COMPANY) but artists getting their art scraped which will directly replace them is a horrible result.. so I think the yeah and? Approach is pretty bad
I find the CD thing funny. I started buying audiobooks on CD, because every other option is terrible. Why would I pay to need yet-anther-app on my phone to be able to listen to a text? Same with books. I often buy physical books, because I cannot get the text digitally in any reasonable way. I remember buying the digital version of a math book, only to then have to spend a whole day writing a program that would rip it, because their DRM ultimately didn't allow me to use my math book at school.
E-Books are so awful that if I even need to read a single book for class I just buy a physical copy for 20 bucks instead of getting a free ebook to lend. They never-ever work properly for me. A page works by just turning it with my hand.
Back in my day we had books on tape books on cd and you could buy the book on audible download it and burn it onto your own cd’s it’s been more than a decade since I check but you may still be able to to that with audible
Digital media is a joke in many cases, as you're buying a "license" to use it, but you're locked into whatever ecosystem you purchased it through. That makes the whole idea bullshit, because they can revoke your "license" at any time.
Scraping isn't illegal. It's legal and it was proved by a lot of cases in courts. And a lot of companies does that. Google & Bing are the largest scrapers. Plus, almost any brand scrapes online prices for prices monitoring. Plus, almost any retailer scrapes prices from other retailer websites for pricing.
The number of services that will actually let you stream full size FLAC or whatever format is getting vanishingly small. I used to use Google music because I could stream high quality, and download them but now that's gone so...
Being very much part of the retro technology community it was kinda cultural whiplash to hear Linus' complaints. Old cameras and camcorders are cool and fun to use, and can give authentic, unique results you can't really do on modern devices. CDs are *physical goods where there's no ambiguity or argument to be made over your ownership*, in addition to them being an easy way to get lossless music. Honestly, CD's coming back into fashion makes for sense to me than Vinyl and audio cassette tapes, since there's an actual practical argument to be made for them. Plus it can be nice to be forced to listen to just a single album start to finish instead of the infinite skipping we're accustomed to with streaming.
“ Plus it can be nice to be forced to listen to just a single album start to finish” That’s literally the worst part. There’s no practical argument for CDs, like Dan said they are MP3s with extra steps. Analog media at least gives you the haptics, CD is just a fragile disk that’s extremely inconvenient on the go. As for old camcorders, you can get the same results with special effects and decreased resolution and quality. It’s just that nobody really wants to do that because why would anyone want to do that?
@@CanIHasThisName Edit: I didn't see that you specifically mentioned they were annoying on the go, which yes, I do agree with. If you only listen to music on the go I do get your hostility towards the format. My original comment follows: Different people enjoy music differently. I have many, many albums where I like all, or nearly all of the songs on them and it can be fun to listen to an album start to finish. A lot of the time I end up enjoying songs I've not listened to in years because of that. My sister, on the other hand, tends to like just a couple songs from any given album and so yeah, digital distribution is great for that (and I have benefited from that as well). And again, where possible I like to *physically own* my media because no one can tell me I don't own something I'm holding in my own two hands. Also, they aren't mp3s with extra steps because they're lossless. *IF* you are able to find a lossless copy of a song online then the quality benefit is moot, but if you want the highest quality version of a song sometimes you *have* to get the CD. Lastly, I don't really know where you're coming from calling CDs fragile. I realize that seemingly noone other than my family seems to have been taught how to properly handle them, but even with a small amount of man-handling they're pretty dang durable. And to touch on the camcorder argument, notice that I said that using an old one was fun and authentic. Sure, you can get a similar look through artificial means, but you won't get to play around with cool old tech, and the result won't be as authentic.
gen z and alphas are not buying old photo cameras for the aesthetic; everybody's just looking for excuses not to have to grab their phones because everyone hates the things lol
Oh wow! I tried to sell one about 5 years ago for $25 no one would pick the old camcorder up. Well now my time has come. That can go in my new TV fund :)
All the people in the comments saying you can just buy the flac files directly like that is a common thing. I think I have only ever found 1 album I listen that is available in a good quality for (legal) download.
Old cameras are awesome, i don't have one, but you can pick them up for super cheap i'm sure. You can like add it to your new fancy videos with your modern effects and editing and its a whole like aesthetic i guess. Its sorta like how you remember either the good or the bad things from the past, like as your going through it 'raw' so to speak, its not quite the same as how you remember it. Afterall, you're making memories right now, so to like have that raw data to mess around with, and being able to spin a modern twist on it is just kinda neat. Or maybe i'm just overthinking it 🤔
Sorry, but Cloudflare is not a good actor in any of this. In fact, they don't even stop hacking attempts running through their own networks. I wish someone would actually do a deep-dive on them. There are so many questions and issues with the way CloudFlare does business that it blows my mind why people just treat them as good netizens without blinking an eye.
I still collect DVDs and Blu-rays because I don't want a thousand subscriptions to watch a movie occasionally. I also have CDs, but I wouldn't buy more of them.
Phrasing!!! When it’s on your screen, you can download it using an unauthorized third party. But you can‘t claim it as your own work, or re-upload it for commercial purposes. The music industry has a big stance on that. I understand that you might feel „whatever, I‘m fine with that“ because many of your videos have been shared around a lot. But you have a recognizable brand
Sorry that us Gen Z may want to actually own our media instead of rent the license to use it. 😅 I prefer switch cartridges, discs, etc. I'm not fond of tapes or the VCR, I don't miss those from my early childhood. But CDs were useful. It's not far from slapping your files onto am extra USB stick for safe keeping.

That’s literally the worst part. There’s no practical argument for CDs, like Dan said they are MP3s with extra steps. Analog media at least gives you the haptics, CD is just a fragile disk that’s extremely inconvenient on the go.
As for old camcorders, you can get the same results with special effects and decreased resolution and quality. It’s just that nobody really wants to do that because why would anyone want to do that?
Why would I want to listen to the whole album when I just want a few songs?
@@CanIHasThisName Edit: I didn't see that you specifically mentioned they were annoying on the go, which yes, I do agree with. If you only listen to music on the go I do get your hostility towards the format.
My original comment follows:
Different people enjoy music differently. I have many, many albums where I like all, or nearly all of the songs on them and it can be fun to listen to an album start to finish. A lot of the time I end up enjoying songs I've not listened to in years because of that. My sister, on the other hand, tends to like just a couple songs from any given album and so yeah, digital distribution is great for that (and I have benefited from that as well). And again, where possible I like to *physically own* my media because no one can tell me I don't own something I'm holding in my own two hands.
Also, they aren't mp3s with extra steps because they're lossless. *IF* you are able to find a lossless copy of a song online then the quality benefit is moot, but if you want the highest quality version of a song sometimes you *have* to get the CD.
Lastly, I don't really know where you're coming from calling CDs fragile. I realize that seemingly noone other than my family seems to have been taught how to properly handle them, but even with a small amount of man-handling they're pretty dang durable.
And to touch on the camcorder argument, notice that I said that using an old one was fun and authentic. Sure, you can get a similar look through artificial means, but you won't get to play around with cool old tech, and the result won't be as authentic.
If people are using Bluetooth, alot of services will automatically downgrade your bit rate.
Even if your paying a tier subscription...

Linus is definitely gonna replace his video crew with AI bullshit.
You can see him start to set expectations
3:50 People still do film entire movies. Found the Barbie movie online like that lol
The people coughing
gen z and alphas are not buying old photo cameras for the aesthetic; everybody's just looking for excuses not to have to grab their phones because everyone hates the things lol
Jokes on you - I never stopped buying CDs. I rip them and put them on the media server NAS and my phone.
No concerns over digital licensing.
You can theoretically connect external DVD reader to your phone
Womp womp I bought a fisheye lens and made a rap video with a couple of friends it goes "womp womp"
Oh wow! I tried to sell one about 5 years ago for $25 no one would pick the old camcorder up. Well now my time has come. That can go in my new TV fund :)
All the people in the comments saying you can just buy the flac files directly like that is a common thing. I think I have only ever found 1 album I listen that is available in a good quality for (legal) download.
Old cameras are awesome, i don't have one, but you can pick them up for super cheap i'm sure. You can like add it to your new fancy videos with your modern effects and editing and its a whole like aesthetic i guess.
Its sorta like how you remember either the good or the bad things from the past, like as your going through it 'raw' so to speak, its not quite the same as how you remember it. Afterall, you're making memories right now, so to like have that raw data to mess around with, and being able to spin a modern twist on it is just kinda neat.
Or maybe i'm just overthinking it 🤔
Sorry, but Cloudflare is not a good actor in any of this. In fact, they don't even stop hacking attempts running through their own networks. I wish someone would actually do a deep-dive on them. There are so many questions and issues with the way CloudFlare does business that it blows my mind why people just treat them as good netizens without blinking an eye.
AI was trained on how to drop things
Most of those camcorders aren't camcorders! Film cameras aren't camcorders.
Does anyone have an idea why Linus said that this was illegal?
I still collect DVDs and Blu-rays because I don't want a thousand subscriptions to watch a movie occasionally. I also have CDs, but I wouldn't buy more of them.
Phrasing!!! When it’s on your screen, you can download it using an unauthorized third party. But you can‘t claim it as your own work, or re-upload it for commercial purposes. The music industry has a big stance on that.
I understand that you might feel „whatever, I‘m fine with that“ because many of your videos have been shared around a lot. But you have a recognizable brand
I learned English by pirating movies, which I didn't know is illegal 😅. Thank God I'm not an AI, rather naturally stupid 😅
Sorry that us Gen Z may want to actually own our media instead of rent the license to use it. 😅
I prefer switch cartridges, discs, etc. I'm not fond of tapes or the VCR, I don't miss those from my early childhood. But CDs were useful. It's not far from slapping your files onto am extra USB stick for safe keeping.
1:21 I think he meant inputted :p
Are you deliberately lowering your quality now then? Whats the hum in the audio background? 🤣🤣🤣
