Super shilly comment incoming, but YouTube Premium is maybe the only subscription I pay for (other than Game Pass) that I think is worthwhile. I was also blown away by how much I like YouTube Music. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully anticipating the platform to race to the bottom and go to complete and utter shit, but for the time being, I think it’s solid.
You can also not pay for it and get it with ReVanced.
ReVanced also auto skips ad reads in the video itself
Except premium pays the people that make the content. ReVanced is, regardless of if you hate big tech, blatantly stealing the work of the skilled artists you enjoy.
I recommend watching this vid.
Can I get revanced on Chromecast?
smarttube is what you’re looking for

For the newer Chromecasts that just run Android TV: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
I don't think so :C
RIP Play Music.
But yeah, Drive and YT bundles are basically the one thing I'll still pay for, and it ends up including YT Music which isn't bad.
I have to agree with this one. I got premium way back in 2015 when it first came out as youtube red, my reasoning at the time was since it came with Play Music, no ads on youtube videos, and at the time cost the same as a spotify subscription, I could have the same music library I was already paying for PLUS youtube without ads every 10 seconds and access to youtube red exclusive content, Mindfield by Vsauce and the Rooster Teeth movies at the time, I was getting more for the same 10 bucks. I was sad to see play music go but youtube music letting me add songs to my playlists from videos on youtube if the song itself isn't directly in the streaming service is pretty cool and I've been grandfathered into the same price, so I still pay the same $10/mo now that I did 8 years ago. Only subscription I'll ever actually tell anyone is worth getting over just using an adblocker instead.
Play music was much better but YT Music is serviceable.
