25GB and 50GB disks written at blistering 10MB/s in the age of 100MB/s Gigabit Internet connected to storage (S3, Backblaze, etc. etc.) means that networks have completely obsoleted Blu Rays.

I'm surprised they still found a use of these things. Flash drives are also so much cheaper, faster, and more convenient.

Did anyone ever burn their blu ray discs? There has been so many better options like USB sticks and external hard drives ever since the launch of blu ray.

Yes, they are the best medium for long term backups, as optical discs should be fine for decades. Hard drives and USB sticks are liable to fail within a few years.

Me, with a 200 Terrabyte usb drive, wondering why this is an issue.

I mean, as long as there is a hard copy archive option out there this is ok (cloud is already flirting with copyblight).
