As many of you guys know, Groovy shut down their service about 2 weeks ago. The Discord bot service Rythm is now being shut down too on September 15th, 2021.

discord needs to hurry up and get their YouTube Together activity out of beta then.
I mean pretty sure a lot of people had the fuckin thing muted anyway since people'd just troll with it all the time
rip nonetheless
↩ @'rylie' this is the first im hearing of this, what is it?
Not a surprise after groovy getting a cease and desist letter. Given its always been legally sketch I'm surprised it's taken this long.
I'm curious what music on Discord is going to end up looking like. It's an illusion that people will just stop trying to play music because of this.
↩ StevenNL2000 I’m guessing just smaller, lesser known or self hosted bots might become more popular
Just replace Rythm with RickBot, it does the same thing but is a different bot.
↩ StevenNL2000 people will probably make bots and release them on GitHub "for education purposes only" along with a fully featured tutorial on how to host this bot yourself for your server, which you SHOULDN'T do as it's only there for education purposes you know, so don't follow the tutorial, otherwise you would have a fully working, fully featured media playing bot on your server and we wouldn't want that would we?
what the fuck?
Honestly, I knew it was going to happen, copyright issues are everywhere now and it's just going to get worse from here.
After Groovy got shut down I had a feeling that every other music bot on the face of the Earth was going to shut down their service. Let's just see what happens in the future.
Let's just use Reperak's bot
Luckily, kero has music commands so we don't have anything to worry about
From what it sounds like, switching to another Discord bot is only a temporary solution. Eventually YouTube will do the same thing to the bot you switched to. It'll be like a cycle as new bots rise to take over and eventually suffer the same fate.
what's next, invidious being forced to shut down again?
The internet is shortening my lifespan
↩ Folfy_Blue GitHub repositories do get taken down for facilitating copyright violations, see for example youtube-dl. They got their repository back, but not without getting a lawyer involved.
↩ videogamesm12 That sounds very similar to the copyright whack-a-mole that companies have been playing for years with video game and movie downloads. If that is anything to go by, it will never become particularly difficult to play music, just inconvenient.
