Think of it more as they're assigning the songs to the channel.
Google has been launcing services with AI that have fukked things up. When you search for something on Google you'll get an AI response that often completely wrong. Google has always been known as the BETA launching company.
What we're talking about is far beyond youtube assigning songs to a channel.
Even that tupac shyt that was posted in this thread was some weird a.i. shyt posted by a shady channel that somehow got added to a playlist on the official Tupac channel.
This kendrick shyt was listed like it was uploaded by the official channel, there isn't any examples of that happening with any other channel. That's very dangerous grounds for youtube in the aftermath of "Elsagate"
