Since October of 2022, more and more South Koreans are choosing YouTube (premium) over Melon

Taste! I use youtube prem as well, over spotify as well. Being able to play with phone screen off, and skipping youtube ads is worth it alone!

Makes sense

Still laughing at those trying to put down Melon achievements like of course it's weaker, but it's still miles above Bugs so calm down

Google is slowly killing South Korea's digital tech companies. How will Kakao compete?

YouTube here is also the most popular streaming site BY FAR. I know only few people that uses Spotify. I think that Deezer is more used than Spotify

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

Melon will continue to see a decrease in users throughout this year as YouTube Premium is cheaper and comes with both YouTube ad-free and YouTube music.

so all those people saying "no one use YT any more"

Why does Youtube suddenly don’t matter compared to Spotify?

Blinks and Armys were fighting for first day Youtube records just over a year ago, everyone celebrate when Aespa breaks debut 24 hour Youtube record but now no one cares anymore. Youtube is free and more people can access Youtube. Getting a billion views on Youtube is as hard as a billion streams on Spotify. Youtube ads seem way more transparent than Spotify playlisting. So why does Youtube suddenly become irrelevant compared to Spotify?

I feel like I'd use youtube music as well but I'm too addicted to scrobbling on last.fm- and I don't think on mobile I can scrobble through youtube music yet?

A horrible news for the singer who had an infinite hate upon KPop's global success, whose career had been backed by Kakao.

Years from now, YT is what groups going to compete than melon in korea
