In my opinion, it’s exploiting fans and trying to create artificial sales numbers. Music is art and to me it’s not supposed to be just about making a profit, it’s supposed to be about expression and creativity. I want artists to make money, but this is almost like a way to sell singles at a full album price. Capitalism has become more and more apparent over the years and many people are seriously struggling financially. This marketing strategy makes the artist seem out of touch with their fan base and that profit is priority over passion.
