At the time of 25's release, Adele expressed a distrust of streaming, saying "I know that streaming is the future but it's not the only way to consume music."

“I believe music should be an event,” she toldTime.  “For me, all albums that come out, I’m excited about leading up to release day. I don’t use streaming. I buy my music. I download it, and I buy a physical [copy] just to make up for the fact that someone else somewhere isn’t. It’s a bit disposable, streaming."
