in 2026 20% of the music videos i've actually watched were found on the youtube homepage. they were all 'new' music. fresh sounds, interesting juxtapositions or other worldly/transcendent visual/audio experiences.
in other words; art.
in 2026 80% of the music videos i've actually watched have been recommended to me by people. most of the time i'm actively not clicking on them, because i don't care to see someone waving their hands infront of a babe or a car anymore
