I never completely stopped collecting conventional DVDs specifically because of the Blu-Ray DRM scheme and it's need for an external decryption key. The few blu-rays I have are either from DVD+Blu-Ray bundles or because standard DVD wasn't an option.

Just picked up 20 TB of storage on a black Friday deal.
Doing a huge upgrade from my 2TB NAS. I'm starting my personal media archive, music, movies, shows, anime, Ebooks, games, YouTube content.
It's the only defense against the scumbag corpos. The will continue to take more content away without warning, and make what they allow us to still have, worse quality and more expensive to watch.
Storage is cheap, libraries are your friend, fight the power. ✊
As much as I hate that this is happening, I think once you turn to digital media, it's incredibly difficult to go back. The convenience of having your stuff at a click of a button is just too good.
That said, if you're into movies specifically, i'd personally still go the route of buying a disk, and ripping it to your local storage, but that's both expensive, and inconvenient in terms of space
