Not sure it was a general question but it does deserve a general reply.

The answer for me is probably no. I guess I am getting old.
I do buy lots of physical media, cds, but I have a really hard time
convincing myself to buy stuff distributed purely electronically... it just
feels so... fragile. Like what I'm about to buy is just air...

Though, since many of these services are free to use, bandcamp,
thesixtyone,  slice the pie ( bandcamp is free right?), I don't see the harm
in investing some time in putting up music there.

I would however additionally setup an "own" page where you offer to sell
physical cds and link this from the respective sites. Not that I have, but I
would ;)
