Its not just DVDs. I switched to all local mp3s for music and i get a lot of them by scoring cds from second hand stores.
I'm currently working on ripping all my CDs to my old laptop and looking at mp3 players, but only because I don't really want to use my phone storage to hold everything. I was still buying physical CDs of new releases up until a few years ago, but I've gone back to that too.
Never started streaming music, makes no sense music is so collectible on HDD. I have 25 year old files, 128kb sucks lol but survived very easily.
Local library is another great source to get those CDs to rip mp3s
