Currently, two leading Discord bots, Rythm and Groovy, have been warned because they have been warned by the big Google that they have violated the behavior. Under that pressure, these two bots had to stop working and now, Discord is using other bots whose sound quality is not so good. And today, I will guide you to create Music Bot in Discord.
Groovy and Rythim were forced to stop by Google
Groovy is one of those bots that are indispensable in Discord servers. This bot allows to play music on youtube using google API. As of August 30, Groovy is currently on 17 million servers on discord. Groovy was forced to stop on August 30 for violating the community standards of Google or Youtube.
Rythm is the second bot searched by the big man in the village right after Groovy. With equally impressive features, Rythm went home with Groovy on September 15. Currently, there are more than 560 million users with more than 20 million servers using Rythm to listen to music.
With a situation like this, Google is now tightening its grip on community standards. With this situation, the other Music bots are scared and some have retreated.
