    Yeah, but you get all of the crappy mp3 torrent rips that people uploaded as part of your music list that you pay for. Low quality music stream that costs money? No thanks!

      What? YouTube music is professionally sourced music like any other major service. You can upload your own music for personal use, but included music comes from the publishers.

      Where did you get that crazy idea?

        I think anyone can upload to YouTube music, or at least it’s a lot easier than most platforms to get onto, so they have a point there.

        There is a recommendation algorithm though, so if whatever you upload is terrible, it won’t go anywhere.

        People upload poor quality songs to YouTube. Look up “song name lyrics” for an example. Those songs get mixed in with all the official songs when you’re listening on YouTube. Plus their interface just kinda sucks.

          This thread is about YouTube music, not YouTube. You can’t see other people’s uploads on YouTube music, it’s only from the labels.

          Are you confusing YouTube and YouTube music? You do understand they’re separate services, right?

          No, they don’t. There is a recommendation algorithm, and it doesn’t recommend low quality shite. Their algorithm is actually pretty good.

            Good joke, having “algorithm” and “good” in the same sentence when talking about Google shit.

                That person thinks we’d be happier if we were all back to being serfs, I’m gonna ignore their takes on music recommendation algorithms lol

      @Anticorp it has all the high quality uploads of other music services plus songs that are uploaded by users that aren’t available elsewhere, but go off.

      But wait! When searching for your song you also get: 1) some girl in her basement playing a cover on piano, 2) some dude in his bedroom playing a cover on guitar, 3) some lonely divorcee’s ripped version where lyrics scroll across static images of sunsets, 4) some crappy handheld video taken from the back row of a shitty venue from 2009. What a bargain!
