I honestly can't remember. There's some options listed here. I might have used Soundiiz? I seem to remember it was something I had to subscribe to, but only for a month just to get all my playlists and likes moved, and then once that was done, canceled the subscription. I remember there were a few cases where a song didn't convert because the name or specific mix or whatever was different, but I could just search it on YTM and add it.

All the computers in the Electronics lab had it installed on them; we wasted so much time playing. That was such a complete screw-off class, haha.
I moved to YTM when Spotify just would not stop trying to shove Rogan down my throat at every opportunity. The iOS app itself has some rough edges but otherwise, no regrets. I used a tool to transfer over my playlists and likes, and from there it's been perfectly good. Plus YT Premium is nice to have, too.

I legitimately still use Winamp as my main music player when I'm playing local files. I've had the same skin on it for over 20 years. I'll be crushed if Windows ever breaks compatibility and I can't install it anymore.
Also I still have mIRC and on the rare instance I get on IRC, that's what I'm launching, but it is very infrequent these days. :P
How do you mean, curate answers more directly? I haven't really looked at bing recently.
What do you think of Kagi? What sorts of scenarios / search types do you find yourself needing to fall back to a different search engine?
r/WhatIsThisThing, r/TipOfMyTongue, and similar subreddits. Some of the simplest and best examples of the power of crowdsourced knowledge. Take a simple question with a simple answer that is basically impossible to search through conventional means, but through the power of those communities you can get your answer in minutes. Simply amazing.
Lemmy is going to have to get huge before it can really replace them. :/
Incremental games is a good one, yeah. It's a space with a lot of shovelware and abandoned / incomplete projects, so it's soooo helpful to have a place to find out about new good ones or ask for help when you're stuck on something niche.
What / why is the not-main server that they're on now?
There's an XKCD for everything
Always loved the alt text on that one:
