I think the reason is that I kept it a hobby and never tried to make a business out of it. Just make it a money pit and you are (probably) fine.
At the end of the day, I'd rather have it exist then be a meal ticket.

I find this a bizarre attitude. I mean, sure, it exists now. But making it into a meal ticket is the surest way to make continue to exist when you move onto some other project. If it isn't supporting itself, it depends on your constant upkeep.
The biggest is that I wanted a total anarchy - as per the technical definition. Anyone can add, delist, skip, enqueue a song - at any time. You can cut into someone's video without anyone's permission.
I didn't find answers exactly. But I know more now then I did.
Plus really, will I stop watching music videos on youtube? I don't think so. A platform that plays them more seamlessly than youtubes? I'll use that for sure.
