I think individually we all have the right/option to make our choices, but I'm speaking to the market makers. If you want to be a vinyl shop (Kagi, Bandcamp), go for it. But you're not going to be Spotify -- or the Apple Music Store ($0.99 per track, remember?) -- in a world of TikTok and bundled music platforms. And I have my personal version of vinyl, I listen a lot to soma.fm and Radio Paradise. It's very interesting to me personally how few other services like those really exist out in the world. There are things like DI.FM and Mixcloud, but I don't know anything else like Radio Paradise (music channels, forums, etc). I've scoured all the channels and platforms expose on TuneIn and the like, and there aren't quite as many variants as I would personally expect. So the niche music world isn't even as numerou$ as you'd want a long tail to be.
