The shutting down of music bots potentially spells the end of an era on Discord, with so many users experiencing servers with accompanying soundtracks. Yoav believes that more bot developers will start to receive similar letters from YouTube. He also suggested that it will have some link to Discord, but is reluctant to reveal too much information at this stage. Speaking to The Verge, Yoav stated his team are “working on something new in the music space”. This is exactly why Yoav, the owner of Rythm has revealed that he is already working on an alternative. Discord has a monthly active user-base of 150 million, and 30 million of these actively use Rythm on a monthly basis.Īs a result, this takedown will cause a notable musical hole in a large chunk of Discord users lives. 20 million Discord servers currently utilise Rythm, and boasts over 560 million individual users. Again, the bot has been afforded seven days to clear off, with the looming 15th September as the deadline. Now, YouTube is contuing its anti bot campaign, demanding that the similar but more popular, Rythm ceases to exist.

The bot was installed on over 16 million servers, but was given just seven days to disappear. The owners of the bot, which enabled users to play music from YouTube videos in the background of Discord servers, were sent a cease and desist letter by the Google-owned video sharing platform.

This time, attentions have been turned to the Rythm bot.Ī few weeks ago, YouTube began to display its disliking for Discord music bots. YouTube is not happy with Discord music bots, having caused the demise of one already.
