The other concern here is that, as an Alphabet product, you need to try to guess when it's going to be canceled, which basically means having an alternative already on day one of use. And if you have an alternative, why use the product that's going to be canceled?
- senbrow 4y agoI would be very surprised if user uploads aren't shelved in YouTube music within the next 2-3 years. It's purely a loss for them financially and is a giant thorn architecturally for YouTube's backends since it's very different rights- and lifecycle- wise than their other content. They pretty much only brought it over from GPM because they were worried about the user outrage if they didn't, so as fewer people care about curating music files they will eventually decide pulling the plug is worth it.
