Just dropping by to announce I recently got my music related YouTube channel upgraded to an Official Artist Channel, and also that one of the platforms that I have been releasing music too is soon going to get shut down.
I know I'm on YouTube music too, yes I am aware that the OAC upgrade I got is Google's way to encourage artists like me to move to YouTube Music. And to be honest, I don't mind my music being available for free via an ad-supported model on regular YouTube and YouTube Music. It's just kinda sad that Google Play Music is dying off because it won't allow for people to buy my music through there anymore, and being YouTube Music is just an extension of YouTube itself - it creates risks of people accessing my music through an adblocker. But at the very least Google doesn't serve Full Quality music on non premium accounts.
Oh and I'm rambling about hating piracy once again, whatever.
It's just sad to see Google Play music go, that's all.
Oh and since I got an OAC now, it's an official YouTube channel with a partnership so expect me using those fun new creator features in fun new ways soon too :3
