I am very sad

Why are people who collect vinyl so mean?I am very sad because I created an instagram profile about my vinyl collection, as many others who share their collection and their artistic photos combining all the colors of the variants of the same album and it looks very aesthetic. But people have been very mean with me, they have sent me DMs, telling me that because of people like me the vinyl industry is collapsed and their indie bands can't press their albums. One of the comments that affected me the most is when someone told me this: "some vinyl collections like yours are scum, or rather I should say, there is scum that collects vinyl". And the worst of all is that I barely have 17 followers, I didn't even have the reception I expected, and it's not fair, that strangers tell me those things by DM, but because of my few followers I haven't closed my profile yet. And my collection isn't junk, I like music by big, award-winning artists like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande and even classic rock bands like Paramore (whom I discovered thanks to Olivia Rodrigo), Green Day, My Chemical Romance and other groups I've seen at Urban Outfitters. Even old alternative music like Kelly Clarkson, Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne and other singers I've discovered through Urban Outfitters too. So, my collection is not garbage and I don't understand how that has anything to do with other vinyl presses if I also support old music like the artists I mentioned. The picture above is an example of the content I like and I share with my own vinyls.
