Friend swore I needed to bag my comics in Mylar or they'd decay

Buddy of mine who collects golden age stuff kept telling me poly bags were garbage and I was ruining my 90s X-Men run. I switched a few issues over to Mylar and honestly can't tell a difference in the books after six months. Anyone else find Mylar is overkill for modern comics or am I just missing something?

I read somewhere that the main issue is acid migration from cheaper bags over decades, not six months... you probably won't see damage for like 20 years.
