I don’t think that the material in these discs itself is the problem.
Laymen use MP3s and streaming services and they’re happy. It neither requires real material, nor produces any waste.
However, there are privileged people who decide that it’s cool to “own” this ancient medium, because supposedly it sounds “more warm”. They’re kind of like cave people collecting pretty rocks, because they shine “prettier” in the right sun than mud.
This fix is just duct taping the problem that’s so primitive and simple it’s beyond ridiculous. Problematic people inventing more problems.
I myself collected vinyls for a while, until I realised how stupid that actually is. Instead of making excuses to “have better listening experience” or “owning the real thing”, I chose to just appreciate the music more itself, regardless of any medium.
