People actually like features like this? For me it’s a message that says “hey! You forgot to uninstall me!”

I’d agree if it wasn’t a notification channel you could simply disable.

You can’t? I literally never get notifications from YT Music. Pretty sure I have them disabled.

Huh? My point is that you can simply disable the new music channel.

I don’t ever get them either. Not even when my favorite bands release new albums. People that get militant over this are rarely users and are just people who want a reason to shit on whatever is fashionable.

I can’t believe people actually allow notifications like this…

Any app that gives me bullshit “for you” or “suggestions” notifications gets muted or uninstalled immediately.

i dont understand when people complain about this considering it’s so easy to go into notification categories for an app and disable the ones you don’t want

For me it’s that notifications should be opt in, not opt out.

You can just use RiMusic, it’s a pretty good YouTube Music frontend. And I think there was BeatBump if you want a web based alternative.
