Google Play, Itunes, Youtube

Has anyone else noticed the increasing number of music videos on Youtube that are from Google Play/ iTunes?
They claim to be automatically generated - what does that mean?
Will the artists get some money if we play them - and if so how? Or is it just a marketing ploy to get people to buy the track?
I'm sure that this has been going on for ages and I've only just noticed it
Thanks

They´re really boring videos as well. Not a hint of wine spilling in slow motion, men being lizards or a body popper being electrocuted on a toilet seat.

Idk what Youtube's relationship w Itunes is, but Google owns Youtube so it's unsurprising that their algorhythms would 'automatically' veer you towards Google Play..

i think its linked to itunes/ digital outlets. i think it does mean the artist (or copyright owner at least) gets paid.
though its like .0001 per play
