um, what.

streaming platforms have a budget set aside for exclusive content / creators

record companies don't have a real budget for videos nowadays

so these partnerships allow people like Gaga to make videos without having to be sponsored via ugly product placements like Britney with her perfumes and Eos, which ends up being commercials for those products rather than the other way around 

There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

When they do that stuff I just visit my good sis Piratebay until they release it to the masses, THEN I buy it. I used my free Tidal trial on Lemonade and as soon as that expired I cancelled it and went and bought the album. 

I have a sub with Spotify and that's not changing anytime soon. I find more variety with indie/niche music on Spotify than I do Apple or Tidal and that's why I like it. As long as Bey and Gags keep putting on stellar concerts my card will be there to swipe; not here for this exclusive streaming platform BS. It's a trend that needs to die. Besides all the support behind Tidal was big name artists, like the good sis Marina Diamandis commented on once, and indie/smaller artists were still getting paid dust in that respect.

The main thing bothering me is that its not getting views on YouTube but other than that I am just glad we have a new amazing music video that's been waaaay overdue!

I think it's partly done to get the fans hooked, then, when it gets uploaded onto YouTube, they'll be hyped to see it again, meaning it'll get a ton of views immediately, even more than it might have had if it was put up to YouTube immediately. Basically, the fans crowd in with views when it gets a wide release, making for more views than usual.

But that's aside from all the other factors like the artist getting paid money to make their content exclusive and suchlike.
