Additional context from his pinned comment to that video:

I've been away from internet all day and it sounds like I got my hands on a couple of bootleg/counterfeit sets here! That's neat. Love that. I'm going to leave this video up as it is because the overall lesson here remains mostly the same - but I am embarrassed this thought never occurred to me, especially with The Good Place Blu-rays. I honestly thought a Blu-ray release of that show would be niche enough that a run of pressed discs wouldn't be justified and didn't question it. I've not been paying attention to physical media for nearly a decade so I've missed some memos and made one too many assumptions!

It's time to boycott U.S. digital services! Here's a chart to help you do so: in c/technology@lemmy.world

The best way to handle transitioning from YouTube is to use GrayJay. Follow creators that you like and when any of them have a platform on a different service, subscribe to them there.

Besides YouTube, it supports any PeerTube instance, Patreon, Twitch, Nebula, Odysee, Rumble, Dailymotion, Ted Talks, etc.
