It's probably proper YouTube, as many major podcasts record video of the show and post it there. I'd be very surprised to hear YTMusic was popular in any metric

- JAlexoid 3y agoYT Music makes it easier to just listen to the audio part of it... that includes music videos posted on YouTube proper.
- munchler 3y agoYou could be right, but (as the article says), trying to listen to a podcast on the vanilla YouTube app is extremely frustrating, since you can't play audio in the background. Is it still a podcast if you have to watch it like a video? It's hard for me to imagine that 23% of "listeners" in the US do that.
- astura 3y ago>Is it still a podcast if you have to watch it like a video? Maybe. I often listen to YouTube video essays while falling asleep or doing chores. I don't watch the video portion during this time, but it's playing on the phone which is face down and probably in another room. Sometimes even while driving, I'll have the phone face down in the glove box. Can't really do this if I'm walking, but that's not my major use case. Ultimately it's just "audio that people are listening to in some way."
