Since his seventh album, Beginner (初学者), Xue has released the songs on his albums as singles first and for free online, a deviation from the freemium business model of major Chinese music streaming platforms, such as NetEase Cloud Music and QQ Music. He explained in 2018 that he made the decision because he wants to make his music accessible so more people will listen to it and he feels he can be more sincere with his music if money is not a factor to consider.[2]
