This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How do you stream music from Google Play? I know that you can stream music with YouTube, but Google Play?
This is referencing Google Play Music from back before it was shutdown in favor of YouTube Music. In that case, this is from around 10 years ago give or take
I wonder if the numbers are that old, too? There's a source organization listed, but not a link to the specific data. If it's old, I'd like to know that. If it's new, I'd like to check it for the Qobuz payout (which I've heard is slightly better than Tidal.)
Probably
I still miss that music app. It was the best. Deep catalog, and because Google is creepy like that, a very good understanding of what I consider local - it would recommend shows to me for bands I'd not heard of but were playing near me (literally nearby, not just in my state, or like Spotify did, "in my country", but within 5 miles or so) and that it, in the wisdom of its algorithm knew I would like.
Why does everything get worse?
I'm not a fan of Google, especially in the last handful of years....but Google play music was great. I miss it.
