    Maybe it was just because I was little and new things were exciting, but I loved DVD extras. I remember getting Red Dwarf DVDs and discovering little bonuses and easter eggs hidden in the menus; though I think it was just a cool use of a new technology where the novelty has since worn off.

      We still get DVDs from our library of whatever show we are watching now, even if we are subbed to whatever service it is on. No ads, deleted scenes, & bonus features? Sign me up! Even saves time, we can watch one episode in about 15 minutes less compared to streaming. Since we watch at night after the kid goes to bed those 15 minutes are more valuable than you’d think.

        I mean, DVDs could have ads before the menu screen. They even tried to make them unskipable, but that varies depending on your player.
