The two don't have to be mutually exclusive. You don't have to hate streaming to enjoy vinyl, and vice versa.

I happen to enjoy both and treat them as different experiences. I'm fine if the expectations around digital change as long as it's still accessible.

I do the same thing! I find that with vinyl I’m more likely to listen to the whole album. With streaming, I’ll hear a song I like, remember another song, hop around all over the place.

This was (is?) the idea behind Paper & Plastick Records [0] in the MP3 heyday. The "paper" is a download code, and the "plastick" is a vinyl record along with it. Pretty fun concept IMO.
