    I stopped going to bestbuy several years ago when they stopped selling audio CDs. I have to imagine they will be out of business soon.

      They have a good business selling appliances, electronics, and computers. I think where they really make their money is on the extended warranties and services. It makes me sad they don’t have media anymore, but most everyone streams these days.

      Wait, you think they are going out of business by not selling cds and dvds? That is not an important business for anyone anymore and they will now have more space for things that generate money.

      No one is buying that shit, so why stock it?

      When I worked at a record label 15 years ago, Best Buy was our biggest account. Now they don’t carry music at all. Progress comes at you quick

          I never said it was a good thing, dummy. Today’s world of music by and large sucks with artists catering to streaming. The “album” as a concept is largely ignored and don’t get me started about atrocious sound quality… I can rant about it ad nauseum but that will change nothing

          It’s kind of like how discourse has also gone to shit in the age of the internet: you get smoothbrains trying to dunk on you with a quip because they are outrage tourists looking to feel clever in some one sided “argument” they manufactured
