I once went through the exact same thing you're going through now bro. I had two six foot high book shelves full of DVDs and Blu Rays, converted them all and had a couple dozen external HDDs full (old school days, old school hardware). I think they're still packed away someplace.
I used to love streaming, I was a very early adopter. Like, Netflix streaming was free with my DVD subscription early. But, everyone and their cousin started their own service. Suddenly, things I want to watch are on 5, 6, 7 different services. I went from cutting the cord to save $80 on cable to spending $80 on streaming. And the frosting on that shit cake? You'll be halfway through a series and it'll get pulled from the service. So now I have an old HP server running unRAID with about 2400 movies and over 200 TV shows and growing. My friends and family have access to it anytime they want. And I've had up to 6 concurrent streams being transcoded out without a hiccup. It's a fun and relatively cheap hobby.I once went through the exact same thing you're going through now bro.

With streaming as it is these days, I just don't do it anymore.
I remember those days well, and I don't envy you one bit!
Better you than me, but as long as you're enjoying it, that's all that matters bro
