Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

I was bored today on a support job so I made a meme. This isn’t a hard or serious conviction of mine, but I am interested in getting reactions 😁

@russbutton We're not even on the same page.  Put analog aside, , your contention that having a digital setup beyond your $500 DAC and a PC is a waste of money puts your listening satisfaction level and what mine is in two very different places. I'm not telling you that you should change from what value is for you,  just stop being preachy to anyone who sees/hears it differently

In response to @russbutton’s somewhat crotchety negative points about vinyl records, here are a few positives that come to mind:

  • I can listen to vinyl records all night without fatigue
  • There’s a vinyl club at my local pub
  • We have great independent record shops in my region
  • It’s one activity I share with my kids
  • We always know what buy each other for Christmas and birthdays
  • I enjoy the physicality and paraphernalia of records
  • Vinyl records more often than not sound better than the equivalent digital formats

The truth is I need both vinyl and streaming. There’s a lot of good stuff in my local digital library. Also, streaming is excellent for exploring new music or checking out albums I don’t necessarily want to buy. But ultimately when comes to serious critical listening, vinyl wins hands down.
