Do people still bother buying blu-rays?

i've been wanting to get some of my favorite tv shows to own so that i don't have to rely on internet/streaming services to play them in the future. breaking bad, game of thrones, black sails, etc..

is blu-ray the preferred method or is there some kind of way to stream these without paying?

i already have torrented versions of these but want something i can view on my tv.

You can view digital downloads on your TV. Connect your phone or laptop to the TV, or put it on a USB stick and plug into TV or PVR, or digital media player.

you can just download whatever movie and even with 5.1 sound.

i havent bought a blue ray in a long time.

only exception i would make would be for a live concert that was good quality and cant find in downloads.

Torrents cannot be that hard to play on TV. I'm about as tech literate as a boomer and still figured out how to stream chit from my phone to my 20 year old plasma tv.

Got back into buying physical media again recently with no regrets. 4k hdr is pretty amazing on OLED and I like knowing I can pop in a disc rather than hunting for a lesser quality streaming option. Mainly I go for 4k but I've purchased a few blu-rays of favorites when 4k isn't available or the 4k has mediocre reviews like recently released Heat.

I buy Blu-Rays of the stuff I actually like. The way things are going they'll start trying to limit internet access/speeds in the name of climate change in the not too distant future.

Just put them on a USB and stick it in your TV.

Or if you're a nerd create a NAS, make your own Netflix.

And no I don't I used to like collecting my favourite movies on DVD/Blu-Ray but haven't bought physical media for a very long time. Torrents are just much more convenient, without even factoring in the price.
