I like CDs. I just don't listen to music on physical media enough to really justify having a dedicated setup anymore.
My boss, on the other hand, collects the damn things. He's got an entire large bookshelf filled with vintage CD players...
To me, vinyl is a collectible, or at least, a way to show "yes I appreciate this music and want to show off that I enjoy it". If I like an artist/album enough, I'll buy the vinyl if I can. But it usually just sits on the shelf looking pretty. I got lucky and my player (nothing special but it works so long as you have a good cartridge) was from my dad. When I actually listen to said album, it's usually on my phone over bluetooth (earbuds or in the car), or even if I'm listening on the "hi fi" it's streaming.
Not to say that I never play albums on the turntable, it's just not that often.
