I do miss the feel of physical media but also artists have easier ways to communicate w their users now. Like, a website or wiki or social media post are all kinda of adjunct media.
I think one of the reasons “the hype machine” works is because of this. Like, you’re not guaranteed “adjacent content” in any specific expected way besides the hype. And a lot of the good ones include a lot of manual style content.
Anyways cheers sorry for the contrarian opinion
