      People stitch together what is essentially a play list of music videos because YouTube’s actual playlist feature kinda sucks. Has something to do with longer videos, engagement and ad revenue too but I’m not privy to that Eldritch knowledge.

          “Lo-fi beats to study to”

          Lots of people just need filler music while doing something for several hours, yt playlists are ass, picking a new song every 2-9 minites is quite disruptive, and any form of autoplay will eventually dump you in alt-right politics.

          You’ve never seen a Video DJ mix before? They can go on for several hours and have more than just 3 songs—usually a dozen or more—all mixed seamlessly into one continuous mix with no gaps between songs. And if the person who made the mix is a real DJ, the songs are also BPM- and Key-matched with each other, which sounds absolutely amazing when done right. It’s one of the better ways to enjoy music.
