How Discogs built — and broke — a community of diehard music fans and sellers.

A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.

    Discogs needs a massive overhaul. I bought a rare record there recently, but it was such an annoying experience.

    I didn’t realize my address hadn’t been updated. I attempted to update it right after purchase, but it was too late. I sent 5 messages to the seller, but he didn’t pay attention and sent it to my old address.

    Thankfully, I thought to put mail forwarding from the old address to my current one. I was able get my vinyl. Seller never responded.
