You might not notice it in your peer group, when you are not their age, but my daughter showed me that many 20-30yr olds are switching to dumb phones, are cancelling their Facebook/tiktok/twitter accounts and are discovering libraries and printed books. As a conscious decision. Not all of them, but quite a lot and it's growing.

@jwildeboer @StaceyCornelius My 14 year old child is buying LPs for a number of reasons which all fit in the category of, “Something important that’s lost when we reduce music to just bits.”

@fivetonsflax I recall a couple of people mocking me back in the 2010s for still buying CDs when I could just stream music.

Yeah, no. I like objects. Always have, always will. I just don't overbuy.

@StaceyCornelius I agree with everything you say but the last point ;) I do buy too much stuff. Most of it second hand though, because re-use beats buying and used CDs are still quite cheap (vinyl not so much). I am that person that was so happy to finally get a complete Encyclopaedia Britannica in his livingroom :) For free, but I needed to cover the shipping costs. @fivetonsflax

@jwildeboer Totally on board with pre-loved CDs!
