What's the future of shortwave radio? Will it stick around in its
current form?
Is it worth it to even buy a set, or am I better off just listening
online?

I would buy a set as they are cheap and portable. There is good radio on the
internet & satellite but for me it does not match the thrill of DXing, I
think shortwave will survive, even if the major broadcasters continue to
give it up, there's new opportunities for lower power and exotic stations to
be heard.

Looking to the future hopefully shortwave DRM will open up new
possibilities.
