No. YouTube's "official" music uploads (these that are a square with a blurred background behind the square) are acquired by paying DistroKid or record labels. Unofficial uploaders usually aren't monetized, either bc they didn't enable it、are niche、or got ContentID'd by YouTube. Those few that are monetized(e.g. Si𝚕vaGunner and Gi𝚕vaSunner (i.e. not Si𝙸vaGunner or Gi𝙸vaSunner)) usually get DMCA'd eventually.
I am an iPhone user among a school of half-and-half iPhone and Android users. None of the iPhone users I've met care what bubbles you blow and while I have some friends that do prefer iMessage (when possible) we have all accepted that it's not cross-platform and a lot of people just use alternatives.
The bubble obsession is just a lie that tech news uses to sensationalize RCS marketing. While the point of cross-platform still stands, nobody cares about bubbles. At most we just talk about how sending SMS costs extra money than data one already has for some people.
I don’t think you understand what I mean. It has its “main instance” which most people use. It’s just open source so you have the option of self hosting.
