My parents went through this when their parents died in the early 2000s. This is an old people vs young people thing. Let's see what millennials accumulate as they go senile.
All my stuff can just burn with the rest of the planet, I don't have kids.
There's going to be so many Funkopops.
Probably not as much, what with not having anywhere to keep it
Mine is all on my server, photos and videos of me and my kid. Movies and TV shows I ripped from when blockbuster went under.
I’m leaving a bunch of tools and crafting supplies. I hope I jumpstart a career or hobby when I die or it gets tossed whatever I will be dead.
We will own temporary licenses to things, and we will be happy.
That's a good point. My wife has an extensive audio CD collection. There's something to be said for "owning" that music. But if she does, I will be keeping that collection on some other long-lived media instead that consumes less physical space.
