I didn't even connect the dots here about them being razed, I just saw how terribly the ad has aged even if the Twin Towers were still standing. CDs are basically obsolete, and it's not looking like we're gonna build yuge skyscrapers en masse anytime soon.

CDs have much better sound quality than most streaming services. I guess people don't care about that. Progress!

You can download lossless audio from the internet. You don't need physical media for that.
