Mainstream tech journos falling for the next marketing trap. In my alternate reality, where more material junk equals good, this is not without charm. But I can not ignore the 2025 cognitive dissonance. I like playful uselessness, but I dislike plastic consumer products. Can’t have it all, I guess. If it can feed some artist, it might be worth it. But I highly doubt that.

#TIL after decades buying 7" and 12" #vinyl and even occasional random sized discs I found out that #TinyVinyl is a , uh, new thing... A pocket sized 4" record format devised to squeeze into #FunkoPops packaging and/or provide a 4 minute per side collectable playable format in the streaming era ...
All I know, is many "automatic return" turnturntables are not going to play these tiny discs!
