I consider this (posting on YT) a huge change from his God Save The Queen days. He's still obsessed with control but offering free content is something he wouldn't have done then.

Adding for context: After GStQ shows, he'd sit on the edge of the stage and talk to the audience. He definitely connected with his fans. Yeah he's (openly) a control freak but he's no 'tone deaf' elitist.

edit: It occurs to me that Discipline could be a product of that controlling nature.
