      it’s not even the easiest method of music piracy.

      What’s easier than pressing 2 buttons in my YouTube app?

      The quality is awful

      It’s perfectly acceptable for me

      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

          Nope. Not really. I speak two local languages for example and none of them are in Soundcloud, it was never popular in my region.

              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.

      I download it from youtube because that’s where I found it, and I’m not entirely sure what’s easier than just copying/pasting the link of the page I’m already on. I’m very confident other methods have better quality, but easier is a big statement.

        Plus, it’s more likely you’ll find music you want on YouTube than Spotify or wherever since the author just needs to upload a video

          Does it just add a download button on the YouTube video? Because copy/paste is a pretty hard process to beat for simplicity.

              I mean, it means I have to search it elsewhere, but I can see the benefit if I already know a list of things I want. I actually do have to play each song I download because I find the music on youtube in the first place. I don’t know I want the song until I’ve heard it.
