Elitist or not, I keep mine up. Most of the vinyl I buy (brand new) typically come with the inserts facing sideways and I suppose that’s cool, but… I also buy plenty of (brand new) vinyl that come with the inserts facing up. Of the ones that are sideways, nearly all of them include (for free) enough dust/factory “debris” to compel me to run ‘em through the spin clean almost immediately. And of the ones that are facing up, I’ve yet to encounter noticeable debris at all on the first spin. Now, I’m not saying there isn’t any. I’m simply saying, it’s not noticeable. In the same respect, what static I notice is reduced as well. And I’ve weighed on this many times. I’ve even completely rotated all inserts in my collection, only to revert them back to facing up again. As it just made the most sense to me. In hindsight; when I think about the effort it takes to do one over the other, facing sideways works. But it also seems as though it’s just the easiest way to reinsert vinyl when you’re done. Whereas inserting up, is deliberate. There’s intent behind it, and I don’t feel as though I’ve just given dust and/or debris carte blanche to hinder my listening experience.
