The author initially started collecting DVDs as a way to own physical copies of their favorite movies. However, they soon found themselves renting DVDs from a local video store, a practice that they found surprisingly enjoyable despite the general decline of physical media.
The essay explores the fall of video stores and the downsides of renting physical media, such as the inconvenience and cost. However, the author also identifies several upsides to renting DVDs, including the tactile experience, the ability to discover new films, and the sense of community and discussion fostered by the local video store.
The author delves into the introspective process of understanding why they have developed a fondness for this seemingly outdated practice, acknowledging that it may be seen as a "Luddite" behavior. Ultimately, the essay aims to quantify the benefits that have made this ritual worthwhile for the author, despite the rational arguments against it.
