Wondering if this is common with ADHD. maybe not only physical media but just things in general. I for one am not a fan that everything is digital and nonexistent so make it a point to own media I care about on physical copies.

I certainly don’t. I actually prefer digital. It’s a lot easier (and cheaper) to expand and organize my digital storage space than it is to expand and organize my physical storage space.

Now, that doesn’t mean I like the whole “license vs owning” shit. I just like that I can have a thing without having a thing. The thing I care about is the song, the movie, the book, the game, etc.

It also helps against the tendency to hoard. Can’t fill my living space with junk if all the junk I collect is digital. 😌
