Why do people still download music from YouTube in 2024? The quality is awful and it's not even the easiest method of music piracy.
Personally, some of the particular covers sang by Youtubers or certain compilations remind me of specific memories back when I was younger.
Also there's a lot of songs that are not available anywhere else
We could say the same thing for SoundCloud or any other music hosting service. It's not a reason to do everything on that one platform, especially when better alternatives exist.
Nope. Not really. I speak two local languages for example and none of them are in Soundcloud, it was never popular in my region.
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the concept of using a service because it has content you cannot find elsewhere. That is absolutely why many people still download music from SoundCloud. Whether you do or not is completely irrelevant.
You: WHY DO PEOPLE...
Me: (Answering your question) PERSONALLY....
You: I'm not talking about YOU, your experience is irrelevant
What a goddamn fucking clown 🤣 I swear you need to grow some braincells next time you encounter an opinion that's contrary to yours.
