YouTube wants you to pay for rubbish quality uploads by their users. You want to listen to an album and put on the playlist, track 3 was a single so you get a mono recording of the rock video complete with theatrical dialog that makes no sense to listen to when you want to listen and not watch. Is that playlist actually the list for the album? Maybe not but even if it is, how many tracks are missing because of copyright claims or similar?
YouTube does nothing but rely on the crowd for quality and it’s rubbish.
But sure, I’m sympathetic when they ask me to pay for “premium” - I’m sure it’s a premium rate.

- a57721 2y agoNowadays YouTube Music has separate accounts for artists, the music is uploaded through the same mechanisms as to any other streaming platform (by big labels or digital distributors), it does not rely on users uploading videos with music.

- a57721 2y agoThis probably depends on the label and artist, Spotify is also missing lots of stuff. Just wanted to clarify that YouTube Music is not monetizing on old user uploads. Yes, YouTube still has tons of uploads of varying quality by normal users, but it doesn't really make part of "YouTube Music", sometimes it's rare and obscure stuff like 80s cassette tapes or limited edition records that don't risk any copyright strikes, and I'm happy it's there.
