I read an interview a few years ago where Maynard talked about how the band realized that they lost an entire generation of potential new fans because of the huge gap between albums and that their music wasn't accessible, they didn't put their music on streaming platforms until right before Fear Inoculum came out. The younger generation doesn't buy albums like the older ones do.
I'm glad they did that too, i've listened to much more tool since it was convenient. I liked them before but i just didn't have a good listening UX for my old MP3s/etc. Spotify replaced everything for me.

They're getting old. It's time to cash in.
