Throwing insults at people not realizing [they](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/expanding-available-credits/546953/4) are on the [same team](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/adding-covers-uploaded-to-youtube-as-a-standalone-recordings-or-singles/544236/30) as you and have been _thinking_ about it for years. That’s sad.

There are still open questions that miss answers and probably more that have yet to be asked (or are buried in someone’s collection with thousands of music videos…).

I have yet to come across a single video in Spotify. Would you be a dear and thoroughly document this feature? It [seems](https://www.reddit.com/r/truespotify/comments/18ehyme/since_when_has_spotify_had_music_videos/) quite limited still

When is _now_ and does it come with code changes and redesign? BTW, some of the schema changes from 2017 and 2019 are still not implemented in the UI
