Most people outside their teenage years, unless music is their passion, are not actively engaging with the streaming services enough to consume 2 albums of new content monthly.

The old iTunes pay per song / album model with 30+ second previews is arguably a better model than where we’ve landed.

I beg to differ. Most people I know use streaming for automated relevant recommendations. I’m listening to Tidal’s daily discovery playlist on most days and most of it is meh, but I make a note of a new piece every other day or so.

		I'm not sure who is the outlier but I'm like the GP says. Was into music and stereo systems as a teen and into my 20s. Now, I just listen to whatever is on the radio in the car. Even streaming is too much hassle most of the time. I will go to YouTube music occasionally when I get the urge to listen to a specific song, but that's pretty rare.
