I was on my drive home today from work and I turned on Youtube music and popped on Gigi's cover of "Rotten Girl" and just let it give me related songs. The amount of songs I heard that were covers from multiple EN that I watch that I literally never heard of from them is astounding an various channels. Just look at this image, this shit gets about 3-5x the amount of listens/views as a REGULAR STREAM, yet it seems to be eating up more and more time from the talents. Why the fuck is so much time being dumped into what is basically a waste of money and effort? Then you look at people who have even less covers/collab covers and they get even worse viewership on their channels.
