By independently posting something here, one is creating their own format. Whether that format is one that follows someone else's or not, it's up to the person posting here. The original publisher becomes completely irrelevant. Also, the reason the split format exists is to push sales and give more time to the artists, not to give a better experience to the clients. In fact, it offers the opposite, so what incentive is there to follow it? None according to the comments here as the previous ones don't apply to anyone here. The only reason given was not wanting to deviate from the publisher, but why was never once explained
