When was "originally"? Lyric availability is the main reason I chose spotify over YouTube music. If it's not included in the free plan then you can't compare that and won't pick spotify.
When you say choose you mean you use it for free or pay for it?
Pay for it after trying the free version. Both spotify and YouTube music are terrible on the free version.
People can try Spotify premium for 3 months free, but I understand what you’re saying. Some people won’t want to sign up for something that they have to remember to cancel, but if they’re truly in the market for a paid service it shouldn’t matter.
