Kanye planning to not put album on streaming services to try and force people to buy it.

I fully back this idea - and for any of you who have been following me, you'll recall me suggesting this for a while now.
People will want to hear it. So people will buy it. Especially kids today seem to have money to chuck at anything.
I'll be really curious to see how it plays out, as his level of fame should prompt quite a significant success... I'm curious how it would work with lower status artists. Will people just go ah meh and leave it, or actually want to hear.
I use streaming a lot for my music consumption now, really useful. However, I personally feel its devalued a lot of my experience of music... when I used to buy or (ahem) download albums, I'd bump that album for a good while. And go back to them. Really digest them. Now with streaming I may stumble across an artist find their album think it's amazing, then a few months (if that) have completely forgotten about its existence. Before I repeat the process. Didn't pay for it, didn't store it anywhere, and off I go into the mass of other songs out there.
I miss albums. A tangible object. The physical thing itself, the artwork and the whole collection of work inside. I think music died when the album died. Streaming does not look like its going to become what radio was. And the current generations experience and consumption of music is so empty.
There's got to be some way back for Music, I do eagerly await its arrival.
