Streaming has become one of the major ways people have chosen to watch movies and listen to music. But now, many people, especially Gen Z, are reverting to physical media.
With no upgrades or improved plans, streaming services like Spotify and Netflix have seen a rise in prices. People are expressing their frustration with the inconsistency of relying on these services.
“If you have a physical copy of something,” said Sabrianna McConn, a music enthusiast, “you can always have the original version that’s unchanged.”
With the increase in social media’s BookTok trends, physical books have been making a comeback. Corporations like Barnes & Noble and small local bookstores like the Old Florida Book Shop have seen an increase in visitors.
