YouTube is now where the majority of the world listens to music.

According to a 2017 report by the IFPI (the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry), 85% of YouTube users went there for music in just one month (from when the information was compiled). That adds up to about 1.3 billion people—several times larger than the total number of listeners who have signed up for a proper streaming platform like Spotify (which now has over 100 million users) or Apple Music (which is approaching 30 million).

Yet, the majority of these music videos just include links to the performer or artist’s pages - not crediting the producer or songwriter, who usually own an equal percentage of the IP.
