But the article is talking about the top 49 non-music channels (so Vevo is excluded). I would agree with you - my behavior has shifted from Youtube to Spotify - but this is channels like PewDePie losing views.

It seems to be something algorithmic. The linked video is interesting, if YouTube-y.

And/or better quality of music streaming services. I used to use YouTube heavily for music. Now I use Spotify and Google play.
