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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

You can easily disable them

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

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.
