I mean, that's patently ridiculous. Most of my listening now is from youtube and soundcloud because the stuff I listen to can't be found on vinyl and even if it is available it would cost a fucking fortune to buy it and play it.
I have a large vinyl and CD collection in another country, the CDs are ripped so I can listen to them anywhere. Vinyl will probably never get done. I have illicit copies of stuff but anything I find I can can buy I'll buy either legit physical media and rip it or buy digital versions of it (beatport, bandcamp). DJ sets generally don't exist in any form other than tape or digital.
I've got great pleasure from recording a collection of DJ sets to tape and then uploading to youtube and it's clear that a lot of other people have also derived great pleasure from hearing these sets again, based on the comments.
I don't like Spotify but I'm not shitting on all the streaming options.
