While it is not the norm. I have certainly done it in the past. Typically with the VPI turntable I had for twenty years. Since the platter / motor has so much momentum it is a pain to wait to stop it. I also have 2,000 albums, most in pristine condition still.
I now have a Linn. The table stops rotating quickly. So, I have not been inclined to do it.
Just for fun I ran the question through a couple AIs. The output was not at all convincing to me that it could produce any harm. It really requires some mental gymnastics to come up with farfetched reasons not to.
I would definitely continue the practice. Life is too short to waste time.
