      I don’t think of youtube as a streaming site for some reason. Maybe because I only interact with it on a computer and the others through TVs even though everything can go through both.

        They also have movies, but I figured “buying” them over there is more expensive than getting DVDs or sometimes even BluRays shipped from UK to Slovakia via Amazon.

        Random example: Blade Runner 2049 bought from seller RAREWAVES for €5.64 ($6.30 currently) incl. shipping, the DVD itself being £2.24 ($2.97 currently). It was new, not used.
        “Renting” on YouTube for 48 hours within 30 days is $3.99, while “Buying” is $14.99.

        Seems like I could get it used in “Very Good” condition on BluRay for around €6. Just UHD BluRay is more expensive than YouTube.
