Was it parasitic? I used it for playing music off of Youtube and it would let me put the screen to sleep and keep playing the music? Did it get enshittifed or is it just that it provided a way around Youtube Premium? I haven't actually used it in ages, though it still seems to work, it opened up at least.

from the article:

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

Will they ban ad blockers next?

Funny you should mention that… Google just blocked Ublock Origin from Chrome.
