Artists get some money from streaming, even if it's not a lot. I never purchased 1995's "Time", and after playing that recently on Spotify, I wasn't missing much. Even the Christine lead vocal songs were sub par. For those who may not recall, this album had no Lindsey and no Stevie.
It's like INXS without Michael Hutchence and Journey without Steve Perry. Those bands went on, I basically checked out after.

You gave an example of an album you didn't like, my point is what if you streamed it and loved it? You still would not buy it on principle? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Also the two other examples you mentioned are band's with one singer. Not applicable to Fleetwood Mac. Stevie sings much fewer than half the songs. In this hypothetical situation she wouldn't even be replaced,l like those other bands did.
And I don't know your motivation here so did you stand the same ground when they released an album without Christine or is it only Stevie whose absence you take a hard stand on?
