I made a Discogs account because Discogs has a marketplace and I wanted to get alerts on if a rare CD went on sale like you would a YouTube subscription.
I tried to add a YouTube clip to one of those obscure record's pages that I just happened to find and instead of a straightforward place to copypaste a YouTub link Discogs uses this weird shit where they search for every YouTub link manually and the search doesn't even work (I only half understand it and fully dislike it).

Discogs? Moar like Discocks.

I bought a CD off discocks once. It didn't have the cut of the song I wanted and on top that this 'nearly new' condition CD was scratched.

Too much effort to send it back and, for what it cost, just wasn't worth it

I think the newest autism is vinyl records of Current Year albums for the morons dedicated collectors. Generates a fair bit of drama and additional deadlines because the worldwide production capacity for this shit is pretty limited.

That has been going on for a long while.
The actually newest hipster hype is cassettes. LPs can sound very good and that's just not "ironic" enough.

We already have the technology to make Blu-ray Audio discs with amazing sound fidelity and multi-channel Audio. But people would rather spend money on outdated 20th century formats for some reason.

I would personally theorize that the reason vinyls have made such a huge comeback is because it gives something to show off to everyone else. They have this fancy "Collector's" feel to them that you can put in a frame and hang them up on you wall. CD/DVD cases don't give you that sort of 'bragging rights' to show off to others.

(but again, all of this is my assumption)
