To remove the belt or not remove the belt that is the question

I had a VPI Scout turntable. I always remove the belt when I'm not using it. Is this what you're supposed to do or there any reason why I shouldn't do this?

Jameswei's got a good point. I imagine you're doing more harm than good by frequently stretching the belt to remove it from the pulley.

I bought my first belt drive turntable 37 years ago. I have never removed the belt when not in use (except if I was moving). I replace a belt every several years and gave never been the worse for it.
