Video about why the fuck NOT to get vinyl: https://youtu.be/aZ2czFuIYmQ

Tl;dw:

  • Supports the oil industry
  • Actively detrimental to air quality, even when lying around and not being played
  • Objectively worse sound quality than digital formats
  • More expensive to artists than CDs
  • Can pollute water when trashed

People like them as a way to collect stuff and support artists, but there are better ways to do both.

This "biovinyl" shit might circumvent the first problem, but reeks of greenwashing.
