I've been buying physical media (DVDs, BluRay) and ripping them with MakeMKV + Encoding them with HandBrake and use my cloud storage + a mix of Kodi and Infuse Pro to stream my shows.

I'll rip a thousand DVDs before I let ~~this company~~ physical media die!

I use the same set up. It works great. The $5 bin at Walmart, garage sales, and good will are great places to find great deals. Although the latter two have way too many full screen cropped versions. Why we ever decided pan and scan was preferable to black bar widescreen is beyond me.
