I was going to say, I still have a 5 pack of Lightscribe DVDs unopened in a box specifically to save something "special" but obviously nothing has ever been special enough to warrant using them. And now that they aren't made anymore it would feel downright sacrilegious to use them, not to mention 4.7GB of capacity is just not enough for anything nowadays really.

Optical media is unmatched for archival purposes. I have photos, videos, and documents I'd be devastated to lose. I simply cannot trust magnetic or solid-state storage over the long term. Luckily blurays are still somewhat cheap in Japan so I stock up when I visit. Stored properly they should outlive me.
I have so many CDs/DVDs that cannot be read anymore that I stopped using them for backups.

Someone would probably buy them on eBay for a good price.
