New Discogs site?

https://newreleases.discogs.com/

Looks like they're trying to make buying records on Discogs more accessible for the normies. Wondering if this is gonna be limited to verified record stores only.

This is the new Discogs Normcore™ venture, backed by a big private equity group. Time to celebrate!

Right. But these ‘normies’ are our potential customers so pls knock it off with the gatekeeping.

If that is “hard” you have more issues than buying on Discogs. This is literally a nothing issue.

Bruh. Its not more accessible "for normies," its just more accessible, damn.

This reeks of SEO. Like Discogs Digs, it's only superficially meant for human consumption. Its real purpose is for the bots to slurp up and to keep Discogs high in Google search results.

It appears it's solely items being sold by HHV?

For some reason looks like Barnes and Noble to me. But your point is valid.

Fuck the normies, they're not interested in my blistering funk 45s collection, or my median value. I'm not interested in their accessible represses!

And *still* no way to quickly / properly preview tracks without opening a release site. Pathetic.

u/TheRecordNinja 6d ago

hate it, loks like a shopping site instead of a place to catalog my collection which is what I primarily use it for

It is quite literally a shopping site that is "powered by Discogs." It's not replacing Discogs.
