UltimateGuitar shows a fake tutorial video with the title of the song you're trying to learn. Clicking it just brings you to the sign-up page for their premium subscription. (lemmy.world)

This is the same company that bought up the open source Musescore and brought us Muse Hub: An insanely bloated launcher for MuseScore that was not told would be installed when installing Musescore. Muse Hub takes half as much RAM, storage, and load time as Musescore itself, despite doing 1% of what Musescore does. It also defaults to running at startup, which feels like a sign it might be spyware.
