      The way we listen to music has transformed dramatically over the past five decades, and so has the industry’s revenue model. 🎸💰 This data story traces the evolution of music formats – from vinyl and cassettes to CDs, digital downloads, and streaming – revealing how each shift reshaped the industry.

      If you already have the images why wouldn’t you just upload them too? Reddits video player is ridiculously horrible and it’s even worse for graphs. And now try to tell a mobile user that obviously uses Reddit in portrait mode to read anything

      r/vinyl would love this.

      Also, this puts into perspective that even though vinyl has overtaken CDs in sales and revenue, vinyls never reached the peak CDs did. It’s not a case of vinyl becoming increasingly popular, it’s just that CDs went down in popularity.

      I still like collecting vinyls though.

      If it’s going to be motion, stick to one format and show us the annual movement. Or just give us several images.
