They tried. There's no point when people can just watch music videos on youtube.

jpowell180 t1_irpau9b wrote on October 10, 2022 at 12:18 AM

The difference is, you can show all the new stuff without having to go search for it like you would on YouTube.

I don't know how you can even begin to believe that waiting to watch music videos on tv instead of instantly online is more convenient, but whatever.

Did you even read their comment? People don't always know what they want to listen to so going to YouTube and searching for that is impossible. If I'm in the mood for a specific artist, then yes, going to YouTube is very convenient. If I don't know what I want to listen to, then having MTV's programming used to be very convenient. That used to be a great way to find new stuff to listen to as well.

Listen to the radio?

That's my favorite way of watching videos, thanks.

You know youtube also has an autoplay function, as well as an entire list of suggested videos that are determined by your tastes, right? It's literally better in every way.

Yeah, sadly I do know it. Because I think it's dogshit. Here on YouTube Music it recommends me this lmao. Look at how unhelpful this is.

Edit: Why even respond and then block? Over me liking MTV over YouTube's algorithm even. Imagine getting upset over that. Do you own stocks in Google or something wtf?

/u/One-Adhesiveness5435, you are so lost lmao.

One-Adhesiveness5434 t1_irscmto wrote on October 10, 2022 at 5:47 PM

Yeah but that's still an algorithm that you can curate. How is that in any way worse than just random songs you have no control over? You are so lost right now LMAO

So you'd prefer that over specifically watching your favorite artists or genres?

You will discover new music.

New commercially viable pop music...

redavid t1_irpdczf wrote on October 10, 2022 at 12:39 AM

YouTube is already pretty good at recommending new music videos based on your interests

MTV has multiple channels on Pluto that are all videos. There's ones from Vevo too.

Nogatkee t1_irpavsv wrote on October 10, 2022 at 12:18 AM

Why would people wait to see videos on MTV when they can see them instantly on YouTube?

To discover music outside of your recommends 2. Youtube ads

There's ways to do this without cable
TV ads

MTV most certainly has unskippable ads

You guys still see ads on youtube

Some will be good, others, as Beavis and Butthead would be happy to tell you, would suck.

Even before youtube only showing videos wasnt viable. Their ratings were inconsistent which made selling ads hard.

pierrekrahn t1_irpsu4k wrote on October 10, 2022 at 2:43 AM

Music videos are best viewed on Youtube.

I'd rather see music themed shows on MTV. Behind the Music, all music Jeopardy, making of music videos, and things like that.

Is Ridiculousness the ONLY thing on MTV now?
