Me, personally, I buy vinyl simply because they're more fun. I find the physical record is worth the extra cash, even on my very limited budget. I don't buy vinyl simply to support the artist, and I think that's a terrible reason to do so. The music industry needs to stop simply asking people to pay more "Just to help out the artists" and focus on marketing. Make people want to buy your product, because they think it's worth the money. Brand it, make it cool, advertise. Don't ask for charity.
