Why are artists releasing their music straight to youtube?

That has got to be one of the dumbest things you can do if you actually looking to get paid, so why is this the new industry practice?

Did you mean exclusively to youtube? Or as an addition source of revenue

Yeah, would have to get clarification on exactly what OP means but, in terms of ad rev a YouTube view is generally worth more than say a spotify stream, and a YouTube music stream is generally worth more than a regular YouTube view so from that perspective it makes sense to me
