YT is the greatest media content platform to ever exist. I’ve tried to tell people to cancel Spotify and just rebuild your playlists on YT. The algorithms are just as good. You can also find ALL music on it. When I’m looking for a song that wasn’t popular I can usually find it as one of those slide show videos with the lyrics on it. The only thing I wish it did better was podcasts. If it followed Netflix’s footsteps in producing really good studio quality shows I’d probably cancel Netflix too.

Big problem is that videos disappear regularly (copyright 99% of the time). I have music playlists hundreds of videos each spanning 15 years and there are so many lost videos especially toward the beginning. No way to tell what's even missing. Very bad from an archival pov.
The sound quality suffers though
