it’s almost like in the past few years there is an executive at YouTube that starts every meeting with “ how can we make our platform suck hard harder?”

Oh, man! I was maybe in the process of thinking about contemplating of being pensive about being doubtful on having second thoughts about, in the distant future, switching over to YT Music, coming from Spotify. But alas, guess I’ll stay a bit longer

Tired of tech companies and their subscription for life plans.
This is just for their free music offerings which are losing features more and more every year. It sucks but honestly if you want to listen to free music you should just sail the high seas

Nah my „misheard lyrics“ are far superior.

Wow…this is a shitty move.
Looks like people need to **ReVanced** their thoughts of using YouTube Music.
Don’t **ReVanced** your chance of showing Google what you think about this move!

This is very misleading. First, it is currently in trial phase. Second, it is only for free users. They’re not adding an extra fee to see lyrics if you already pay for YouTube premium (ad-free).
You will still be able to listen to music and if you really care about lyrics they’re available all over the internet.

FUCK I’m getting old. I still remember when Spotify let you pull up the lyrics before removing that feature. I’d love an explanation as to why these giant companies keep on removing such a simple feature. Is it just because they don’t see a way to profit off of it unless it’s paywalled?

Next thing you know they’re gonna just give you instrumentals and charge you to hear the full version. Music+

I’m sure my hard of hearing father is going to love this change

With the way everything is being monetized I expect to see GPS services going pay to use in the next decade or so.

Oh no, guess I’ll just go back to searching for song lyrics (I never stopped).

Huh? Doesn’t everyone just use Genius for that?

Didn’t Spotify do this already? 🥱 Been there, done that; try to find more creative ways suck money from customers.

Next thing you know, we’re going to have to pay to breathe

Oh so that’s what happened. Frigging criminals

You know what the problem is, Brucie? We used to make shit in this
country. Build shit. Now all we do
is put our hand in the next guy’s
pocket.

I can just Google the lyrics. I’m good.
Burg3rTV on
Bro lyrics don’t even show half the time now we want to pay wall it?
Im gett8ng tired of all these corporation trying to squeeze every dollar. Fuck that

You’d think that means they’d be doing the work to make sure they had the right lyrics, instead of whatever AI educated guesswork they use now, but I doubt anything’s changing there.
HibbletonFan on
They don’t even have lyrics for every song and, when they do, they’re using a feed from sites like LyricFind.
VVrayth on
Why would anyone do this? There have been lots of good lyrics websites for decades.

I was legit considering YT Music as I’m workin gon switching off Spotify, this just crosses them off my list.
These companies need to stop being such greedy little piggies and trying to constantly nickel and dime their customers to extract as much money from us as they possibly can

The enshitification will continue until morale improves.
rbmk-a-ok on
A prime example of enshitification
maddasher on
Its already the worst way to listen to music. They are just squeezing a little more blood out before it’s dead.
d1eselx on
Lol they are charging something that’s already free on the internet?!
UnlitBlunt on
The enshitification continues.

Can a competitor take out youtube already? ffs. I dont watch youtube on anything without access to a ad/sponsor block these days.
cock_mountain on
When a shit company can’t innovate any longer, but must continue keeping their shareholders happy, they will cannibalize the originally free features by paywalling them. They will do anything possible to make the money line go up.
It WILL eventually get to a point where free users no longer exist and are paywalled off of the whole platform.
