You can’t fight the tide, and if you’re not in there proposing solutions, you’ll have to live with someone else’s solution. Streaming (in its current form) isn’t great for artists, but the industry dragged it’s heals for so long they were left with no other choice.
The other choices are to buy albums from record stores, or acquire digital music from the High Seas.

I have a playlist in iTunes of Apple Music that I want to buy.
When I do have some disposable money, I purchase it.
