Vinyl doesn’t appeal to me personally compared to CDs, and it’s generally less technically capable, but…I mean, people like what they like. As long as they aren’t being misled as to the characteristics of what they’re buying…shrugs
Some of it is opinion. It’s like saying “which is better, chocolate or vanilla”?
If what you want is big album art, a neat mechanical gizmo to watch, and a playing experience that triggers nostalgia, then, hey, who am I to say “no, longevity, compactness, and audio fidelity are more important characteristics”?
I mean, some people like live audio. Some people like retro boom boxes.
End of the day, what you’re doing is picking the thing that makes you personally happy.
All things being equal sure, but vinyl is a severely outdated audio format that is both a lot more environmentally taxing as well as being a poor medium for music. Both in production and for shipping around the world.
Vinyl is trash coming back to sell to collectors.
If you want to put covers up in a room or something go for it. But for listening to music they are the dumbest shit imaginable.

Preach. I am so fed up with vinyl. I hope more artist will continue releasing their music on CD instead.
Por que no los dos?
Some people like collecting vinyl records, others like collecting music on CDs.
To each their own, live and let live.

I’ll take CDs over vinyl any day.
