Vulnicura is not currently available on Spotify. Why not?
We’re all making it up as it goes, to be honest. I would like to say there’s some master plan going on [with the album release], but there isn’t. But a few months ago I emailed my manager and said, "Guess what? This streaming thing just does not feel right. I don’t know why, but it just seems insane."
Why is it insane? To work on something for two or three years and then just, Oh, here it is for free. It’s not about the money; it’s about respect, you know? Respect for the craft and the amount of work you put into it. But maybe Netflix is a good model. You go first to the cinema and after a while it will come on *Netflix. Maybe that’s the way to go with streaming. It’s first physical and then maybe you can stream it later.

I'm OK with that and it's a really good idea, but I'm not buying her "it's not about the money" thing. If you put so much effort into a work, you'll be glad people listen to that.
Delusional. 
She's accomplishing nothing in the long run by keeping it off.
