If your goal is the best art you can produce, then perhaps Spotify and that roller coaster isn't what you should care about.
And how exactly will people get paid, when Spotify (and other streaming services) have effectively replaced album sales?
This is just the same tired old "exposure" argument.

Touring and merch sales, which is why the aggressive release schedule on Spotify to keep buzz up is supposed to be good in the first place. > This is just the same tired old "exposure" argument. The whole argument about needing to release more often is predicated by that exposure argument. If you don't think it works, then when you release on Spotify doesn't matter at all. Either you accept that Spotify buzz drives attendance and thus more buzz from more releases more often brings more money, or you don't accept that and then there's no pressure to release more often.
