I swear to god, more and more I keep having ‘clean’ versions play on Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer - despite the song being marked as ‘Explicit’.

And no, I definitely do not have the setting checked for only playing clean versions.

It’s not just me - is it?

    It seems that the way that YTM maintains playlist is by keeping a track list and populating it on the fly with the first hit it gets. If the metadata doesn’t include a special mention of “explicit” or “clean”, you end up with a crapshoot on which version you’ll get.

    For me it even went beyond that. I had uploaded my personal collection to Play Music. When they migrated to YouTube Music they replaced my tracks with tracks from their catalog, including edited versions.
