What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?

I well remember in the ‘80s when we were amazed and thrilled by CD.
Wow, no more pops and clicks and all the physical benefits.
Seems so many abandoned vinyl.
But now, with so much convenience, available content and high SQ seems even dedicated vinylholics have again abandoned vinyl and embraced digital. However, there is clearly a new resurgence in analog.
But I look at, for example, whitecamaro’s “List of amplifiers...” thread and no one seems interested in analog!
To me, it seems strange when auditioning “$100Kish gear, that vinyl doesn’t enter the picture or conversation.

 listen to streaming and lp almost daily. have cd too.

digital streaming or replay much easier to hit a high level. especially with current r2r. my system is already maxed out with digital. 

while vinyl is the most interesting medium. every combo can give you a different dac. really keep me interested and fun. being able to collect stuff.

is my vinyl better than digital? not subjectively. but emotionally vinyl is da best. when vinyl system is in good form it's like heaven. appreciate that moment.
