I'm well aware of this. However, the product is used in a vastly different way. If it was a real streaming service it would be embedded in cars like Pandora or Android Auto. Plus, please separate the music streaming from non music streaming on YouTube and show me the numbers. 

 

Think about the experience between YouTube and streaming services. It's vastly different. Try riding the train to work and using YouTube to listen to music. It's not as popular as a music service as people think. 

 

According to this article, it is.

Ok, here's how successful YouTube music is - http://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-people-use-google-play-music-and-youtube-music-2016-8

 

I'm not sure if the link you provided means YouTube music is more popular than you thought or not?  I thought the article seemed pretty positive about them.

Thought I'd throw this in......

I tried to stay away from this, but it happens on the topic of rap in CA again, and again.  Let's call it what it is, because if we saw it anywhere else we would recognize it - this is a problematic case of race and diversity at play.  Rap having it's origins in the black community is a genre that many/most white/non-white people don't relate to and is too often associated with the worst of our race, socio-economic, and diversity problems in America (I fully realize that we are an international community here at CA).  Why is this genre rejected wholesale so quickly and rapidly unlike any other here?  Let's not tip toe around that.

 

You say let's not tip toe around but you never actually get around to using the word Racist. That is what you meant though, isn't it? I don't care for Rap as a musical genre so I must be a Racist? I don't care for Opera all the much either but that's mostly overweight white people. What's the epithet for that?

I believe you're using a logical fallacy that says is A isn't true, the opposite, or Z, must be true. 

 

No, I'm saying they both aren't true. Or if I'm not Woke enough, I may be a Racist and not know it but that isn't the reason I don't care for Rap music.

You're doing the same thing. Did anyone say those who don't like rap are racist? That would be absurd. 

 

I agree with you but that is EXACTLY what Booster MPS said in the post I responded to.
