    Blu rays and CDs are considered ancient. Considering all the storage we have now, something like a CD is close to worthless for almost everyone. Blu rays could have their own niche still, but it’s still considered ancient by modern standards. Technology evolves so fast, and it’s hard to keep up.

      I call shenanigans. Blu rays still make up most of physical sales and that video quality makes up the most consumed resolution.

      I can kinda see the argument for CDs but they are still sold new in big name B&M stores. “Close to worthless” is hyperbole at the very least.

        Just because they are still sold doesn’t mean that they are not ancient.

        You can still buy, for example, a GT 1030, which, compared to more modern graphics cards, is considered ancient.

        Just because something is still being sold or bought doesn’t mean that it’s not ancient.
