    You don’t need to. Content is perfectly discoverable without them. Just about the only real benefit is having the “extra storage”. And nowadays it’s pretty dangerous, as at least Youtube hallucinates edits for uploaded casts and stuff without the creators’s consent or knowledge.

      It’s really not. Spotify and YT together comprise about 70% of the market.
