Because you were replying to me, used "what you need" and contrasted the form-factor I prefer with other options.

because this is the Kodi forum and the only reason to review a device here is for watching media
Did you notice the word "solely"? "Device for watching media" is a file server too, especially if it's a fully-capable x86 system.

I was not addressing you in any way. I was clearly speaking about myself – what I am not and why I don't need huge storage. BTW, "Netflix generation" is about habits, not age. There's really no need to bring your age here, especially in such a ridiculous form as "I bet I'm older". Let alone you won't be able to prove it, LOL.

I'm glad for you. I wasn't discussing
your needs. You were discussing
mine.

storage capacity is limitless if you use modern media storage / cloud / nas / media server
i use jellyfin and all of my media is available to me at all times
Again, I'm glad for you. But for some reason you continue to give me advice to eat apples instead oranges.
I didn't say I need limitless storage. And surely I don't need a box, let alone a cloud server.

again, if this is what You need then so be it, i'm not going to tell you what you need or want but you do seem a bit closed minded
Are you sure who is closed-minded here? I already described which form-factor I prefer and why. Is it really hard to understand?
