In this article (4)
YouTube Music is set to add a new feature where profile statistics can be now made public. Enabling this will allow users to view their own and other users’ music listening habits and preferences on the platform.
With this new feature, users will be able to view their own public profile, which will include information such as their top artists, top tracks, and recently played songs. Additionally, they can view other users’ public profiles, which will display their listening habits and preferences, as well as any playlists they have created and shared for up to two years.
The public profile statistics will also include information about the user’s activity on the platform, such as the number of playlists they have created, the songs and artists most listened to, the music videos most viewed and the playlists most listened to on repeat. This information will be displayed on a public profile page, accessible to anyone who searches for the user on the platform.
While this new feature may seem like a simple addition, it has the potential to transform the way users engage with each other on the platform. By allowing users to view each other’s music preferences and habits, it will create a sense of community among users and may even lead to the discovery of new music and artists.
