Labels need to work with artists to help them achieve their best work, not to jam records out that are half-baked or three-quarters baked.

If you're an artist, and you put out a record - most artists only have one or two hit records - that has 100 million streams, on certain services you only get paid on 75% of those streams. How's an artist going to live like that?
