Old dude should be titled "piracy" instead.

Not really as in the current meme at least it compares two ways to legally watch the content

Yeah but physical copies of movies are not really on a comeback, but piracy on the other hand is.

Would you have predicted a resurgence of vinyls 20 years ago?

People are coming to the same realization with visual media that they came to with music, enthusiasts kept physical copies alive in the meantime.

Do you think vinyls are replacing Spotify and other music streaming? They are not even competing on the same playing field. Vinyls are mostly collectors items today, they are for sure not the default way to actually listen to music. And they will never be that again.

I'm actually a fan of physical media! I just don't think they will be a widely adopted way to consume media ever again. My DVD collection is sitting on the shell untouched since many many years.

I'm not sure. People are starting to buy again CDs of their favorite show and display them on shelf with other derived product. A bit like your exposing your favorite manga.
