I do hear that a lot of people find yet more appropriate artists through spotify but its not much different then youtube. Just probably laid out in a more 'youll love these! Listen to these!, kinda way. Yt will send you to some mindless life hacks if youre not careful.
Aside from prince and a few smaller acts yt is literally the worlds jukebox. Admittedly there are some tunes you can never get the album audio only live versions of but yt is awesome.
You find music on there.
You buy/pirate (we all do it)
You catalog and leave it to vlc.
Repeat.
Of course some people like spotify. Thats fine. Its wrong though ;p. One opinion to rule them all.Youtubes gonna change soon n all. Even more so than when google bought em and threw ads everywhere.
Shudder.
YouTube certainly doesn’t have everything. Since using Spotify for the last like 3 years, there’s been less than a dozen things I’ve searched for and not found, YouTube is pretty poor for this with music. Unless uploaded by the artist or label, most videos for songs are removed for copyright pretty quickly. YouTube audio is quite shit too unless you’re at home with good connection and all the videos are available in HD. YouTube’s only advantage over Spotify is that it’s free.
I discover new music I like almost daily with Spotify’s suggested sections and personalised playlists, if I had my own library I’d be stuck listening to the same shit for years.
