Seems slightly related to this one as well. In the end stuff like this goes to show that Youtube&amp;#x27;s systems are a complete and utter joke, but since Youtube has zero competition, it won&amp;#x27;t change.&lt;p&gt;1: The creator used CD Baby, if you&amp;#x27;re going to do this, I recommend DistroKid, it is about a zillion times better than CD Baby. Even the CD Baby creator endorses DistroKid.</text></comment>
