Anecdotally, despite the Google incident and their name change, they're still the place I look for lyrics having used them twice this week alone. That said, I haven't the faintest idea about their revenue strategies and how those might work for them, but I wish them well. I think they did the lyrics thing better than anyone previously and often find myself wondering why I can't have it integrated with, say, Google Music and such
- eli 10y agoIndeed, browsing song lyrics seems more like a feature than a product.
- mason55 10y agoWell, the product is supposed to be the annotation system. The lyrics were just an initial use of it.
- trustfundbaby 10y agoI think they came up with that whole explanation after the fact, as evidenced by the fact they never really followed through on building an actual system that could be used in the varied ways they described
- madeofpalk 10y agoAlso evidenced by the fact that they were initially called Rap Genius
- michaelbuckbee 10y agoThey had a few things, but not a complete system like they did for lyrics: An example: https://genius.com/Barack-obama-state-of-the-union-2016-annotated https://genius.com/Barack-obama-state-of-the-union-2016-anno...
- mason55 10y ago> wondering why I can't have it integrated with, say, Google Music and such It is integrated with Spotify although it seems to pop-up randomly for me. I've never figured out why some songs show info from Genius or how I'd get to it intentionally if I wanted to (but I admit I haven't really tried).
- M_Grey 10y agoIt's still my go-to as well. I really appreciated the idea, but it just seemed to drown in a sea of lyrics sites, and the general fact that most people seem to be disinterested in spending nay real time on lyrics.
- zhte415 10y agoIt's a bit different from Genius, but I really like bilebili's annotation system.
