This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

sorry, i switched up tidal and qobuz. fixed now. Youtube is below because it is a music video platform, meaning that the amount of work you have to put in is quite a bit larger.

Ah okay, makes sense I suppose. Thanks for explaining.

Yeah, it is not directly comparable in the case of Youtube. You might get by providing some static background or a loop for the video part, but let's be honest, if you are subscribing to Youtube for music, you expect full blown music videos, and it will hurt your numbers if you don't provide that.
