FAQ
Who are you?
I am random_k, the owner of the random_k Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@random_k
Will this website always be ad-free?
I will do my best to keep this website ad-free. Since the website's launch, the monthly hosting costs have been gradually increasing.
As of June 2025, the monthly cost is approximately $42 (combined with the voting website). As long as this cost remains manageable for me, you won't see any ads on the website.
You can always donate to help me keep my YouTube channels and this website going.
Update (July 2025): Recently, the website has been getting more traffic, which may cause occasional instability — partly due to my amateur-level development skills. I'm considering upgrading the server to handle the load better. I've also heard that around 90% of today’s internet traffic comes from AI bots, but I hope more of it is from real users who actually find this site helpful!
Did you build this website yourself?
Yes, just like the voting website, this site was built with Flask. The frontend template was purchased from ThemeForest.
Why is the thumbnail sometimes blank?
A blank thumbnail usually means I'm currently working on the video and have more or less finalized the line distribution. If the video doesn’t show up soon after, I probably decided to finish it the next day (after some sleep), or I'm waiting for the visualizer to finish rendering.
Why do some lyrics have album covers while others have YouTube thumbnails?
I edited the lyrics with YouTube thumbnail, I will publish the lyrics for a song once I finish its line distribution video.
The lyrics with album covers are from the volunteer supporters, if they edited the lyrics based on my old YouTube videos, then it might also have a YouTube thumbnail as the cover.
How can I become an editor?
At the moment, only supporters who have donated more than $10 in their lifetime can become editors. However, in the future, it may be possible for anyone to apply to become an editor. Stay tuned for any updates on this.
What is the relationship between this website and randomk.me?
While randomk.me is where my supporters make their requests, randomklyrics.com is focused solely on providing color-coded lyrics. However, both websites share the same database.
Can I use the lyrics and translations from your website?
The lyrics themselves are not owned by me, so you are free to use them as you wish. As for translations credited to someone@randomk, those are the work of our translators. As long as you are not using them for competing content, such as lyrics websites/apps, lyrics videos, or line distribution videos, you may use them as you please, with proper credit. This also applies to the final statistics data from my line distribution videos.
