Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.

IEMs, headphones, streaming by phone...if someone even listens at all.

How can we as enthusiasts in this hobby get people interested in a more traditional 2 channel stereo setup using speakers and associated gear? 

Even cheaper ChiFi sounds pretty good compared to what some of us had when we first started but it doesn't take a fortune to build nice sounding systems that work well and can be enjoyed for many years. 

What can we do to support this hobby, its gear manufacturers and promote physical media too although many may prefer streaming?  

Essentially, promoting a gateway into the hobby as well as a pathway for growth and upgrading over the long term?

Thanks @larsman .  My fervent hope is that people pay more attention to the things that actually matter most and stop allowing politicians to distract them from their own best interests.

Lots of good gear at all price levels for anyone interested. More than ever. So someone is buying something just not as much super high end luxury products as in the past.   At least not in the USA.   Times change and younger folk could mostly care less because they just have no need and often no funds for it.  Most people are just struggling to get by.  Consider one self  very fortunate if that is not the case.  Medical costs alone are enough to sink many in this country.   But nobody is talking about that.  Rather we as immigrants or at minimum descendants of immigrants are programmed daily to mainly fear immigrants.  Very sad but we reap what we sow.

Bribery is a good bet.

A tariff on all headphones maybe?  That'll show them!
