For a very long time, every disk in my catalog was a repurposed AOL Floppy Disk with a piece of tape over the write-protect hole and a Post-It taped over the label. I didn't have to buy blank floppies from like 1994 to about 1999 when they switched to CDs.

Man, I kinda miss the days when junk mail was legitimately useful.

Why the fuck did I never think of this—I was out there buying floppies like an absolute rube

That's how Big Floppy has tricked us into buying more floppies.
