For me content is always king. And that is definitely the one thing YouTube has going for it. You can find literally everything there usually in a decent quality. In the early 2010s I was all about one group in particular. Angels of liberty may voe rest in peace. And I was looking for a service that actually carried their music. Pandora had one random album. Spotify had nothing YouTube had everything.
Being a crazy homelabber my favorite app is the one that’s local. When I was DJing online more heavily. I ran my own ice cast server. And when I wasn’t on it myself I had a 24/7 automated stream complete with interstitials, bumpers, and intros. With a weekly schedule set up lol. Basically my own private radio station. Which once I get my current home lab situation all sorted. I’d like to get set up again and dockerized for easy backup and transfer.
Google definitely has their own dumb s***. But yeah at least they’re not paying Rogan directly I guess. Ultimately it comes down to what works for you and who has what you want.
With modern Broadband connections right now streaming from home is easier than ever. Even if you don’t have your own dedicated server setup etc. There are versions of ice cast for Windows and Mac as well as linux. Same for Mixxx. Just have to open a port in your router. But yes setting up the automated radio station was a bit of a pain in the ass. Requiring learning a new and very obscure scripting language just for it. Though the software package it was originally written for has had an open source version of its project now. Which makes it a lot easier. Called Libre time. But I think ATM that’s Linux only.

I really dislike that Spotify gives Joe Rogan a forum to spout his nonsense. So I may just make the leap over to YouTube.
That sounds like a lot of work to run a server like that, fun though.
