I got put into Youtube Premium when Google Play Music merged, so I think of it as equivalent to Spotify premium, but also: you can also upload your own music library, you get ads removed on Youtube videos, and offline play for both music and videos.
It's decently worth it if you reference Spotify Premium's cost (and also I've been at 9.99USD/mo this whole time and not been hit with any price increases at all for some reason?)
YouTube has almost every song already, blocking ads is stupidly easy, and creating and sharing playlists is simple too.
Thats Spotify Premium already. For free.
Not to mention how easy it is to
yt-dlpa playlist and have it for offline. It blows my mind what people are willing (or really able) to waste money on.Dude. Good to know, thanks
