Well the corporate team at Intuit seems just like one might have guessed:
“I got a note from (…) the chief communications officer at Intuit, who called the line of questioning and my tone “inappropriate,” “egregious,” and “disappointing” and demanded that we delete that entire section of the recording.

🎶 Turns out the great Vinyl market drought was an error. Here’s Discogs with the explainer:
You’ve likely felt the panic this week: Vinyl sales are reportedly down by (a somewhat ironic) 33.3%, marking the first decline in 17 years. Inflation and industry greed are to blame. But these headlines didn’t paint the entire picture.
