[Cthulhu_]

I'd draw an analogy with analog (ha! word pun) music enthousiasts; vinyl is outselling CDs nowadays, casette tape has its own niche again, that kind of thing. And they're all viable for their purpose.

That said, the internet relies on a lot of infrastructure, while ham radio works off batteries and / or generators. Spotify won't work when the internet is down, but vinyl records will.
