    The problem with DVDs at least is they use an organic compound for the dye in the reflective disc backing or whatever that slowly breaks down but I believe blu-rays don’t. Only issue for BDs is if they’re manufactured incorrectly.

      yeah… i remember being told never to store long-term data on cd-r dvd-rs way back in the early 2000s for the photostudio i was working at because the data would likely be corrupted within 10 - 15 years for most of the discs due to breakdown of the chemicals with time
