And you get to download stuff to your phone and listen with the screen turned off. YouTube has a lot of good, quirky stuff you don't find on, say, Spotify.
It is a bummer they've turned up the commercials - but then again, paying makes for a potentialy healthier ecosystem.
I use YouTube so much paying just to get rid of the "new video commercial" was a no-brainer.
- seandoe 6y agoTotally agree with quirky music options. One thing that really pisses me off is I make lists of my favorite music videos/live recordings. When I go back to them, some have been removed for copyright or whatever reason and I can no longer see the name of the original video. Then I don't know which videos I'm missing. This fact alone turns me off from curating my music on YouTube. If they at least kept the name of the video I could look for an alternative or something. On a different note, does anybody know if the stream is cut down to audio only when the screen is turned off? Or if there is anyway to get an audio-only stream? Streaming video when I'm off WiFi and I just want to listen to audio seems wasteful.
- Majestic121 6y agoI'm pretty sure Youtube music is audio only, but I can't tell for the actual Youtube app
- MrOwen 6y agoAnecdotally, I've tested this by having a network monitor traffic throughput and once a video is playing audio only, there is a noticeable drop in throughput which goes back up when you pull the video back up. Tested this a while ago so hopefully it's stayed like that.
