Artist Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 I am curious to see Youtube Music numbers; Music consumption is shifting thanks to streaming. People used to have to play a video to hear a song but now they don't need to. Plus, YT ads are a bit much.

The music isnt musicing lately. We want to have fun again, artists are so obsessed with telling their boring lame ass stories lately.
Shelter Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Miley having more than all of the Midnights videos combined Sad to see interest in videos isn’t there much anymore.

I think this says more about youtube than anything else. Maybe people need to start uploading full music videos directly to tiktok and spotify because that's where all the action is. Youtube is kinda boomer tube at this point.

This is his latest video. 137,687,374 views Now, if you don't think MrBeast is huge or think he's irrelevant, I seriously suggest you get out of the rock you're living under.

That user meant how MVs used to get billions of views in few months. Now tiktok and spotify (and other social media) are eating into youtube views a lot. And i think the overall vibe of youtube is that it's not the cool and trendy thing for teens anymore. MrBeast is huge for sure but we are talking about the music industry context of youtube here. i said in an earlier post here that maybe the music industry people should consider uploading MVs straight to tiktok or spotify. I dont think the demand for visual entertainment has declined. It's just that music fans have moved to other platforms.
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Flowers & Kill Bill feel like the only songs that have been moments in pop culture this entire year so far, KB certainly not on YT but on everything else in America (unless w/ SOS in general), Flowers literally on all fronts. Flowers is definitely going down as the defining song of 2023.

I dont think the demand for visual entertainment has declined. It's just that music fans have moved to other platforms. I'm aware of the phenomena. I've also read comments about the "vibe", however, it does not represent the totality of Gen Z/Millennials (I brought up MrBeast for context actually). I've seen a lot of Gen Z creators booming in the last couple of years so the platform is fine. Yeah, of course, TikTok and Spotify stole some of its thunder, especially in music, but that's partly because of YouTube unbearable ad-supported tier. I love YouTube but they got too greedy (money over user experience, you can make bank, but be cool about it), so of course other platforms took advantage of the situation and capitalized on its weaknesses, so much, that YouTube had to implement Shorts in response to TikTok. Yes, we need a place where music videos can thrive and I think YouTube is still that place but they need to get their sh*t together 'cause maybe Spotify or TikTok could launch a music video segment/part of their platform (as in Shorts from YouTube for short-form content) that could actually capitalize on the tremendous potential MVs still and will always have. I addressed some of this in a thread I created a while ago: Edited July 2, 2023 by Mastamaind
