YTM: you have a vague hint of network reception, just wait for me to fail loading what I want to load before I consider letting you play your downloaded music.
I actually love the fact that all of the underground, unknown, not officially published music I’ve liked on YouTube is there with all my other music, including the stuff I’ve uploaded myself.
YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

Which was an enshittified version of Songza. Google lost me for music a loooong time ago.
God I loved Sonza. The best place I ever found to discover new music. RIP Songza
Is there a self-hosted alternative? Would love to do that.
Subsonic and airsonic work. They’re not “pretty” but they do the job and have decent mobile apps.
Subsonic-based alternatives are good too. Navidrome and gonic, for instance.
Could you explain why you don’t like it?
