Music streaming services are all the same to me. Picked up Google play music many years ago. When they switched to YT music, getting ad free YT videos was just a bonus. Also, they didn't raise the price for 8 years. For the family plan, it's a pretty good deal.
You we're getting as free YT videos? I'm just paying to be harassed for now because I don't have time to shop around for a replacement. Killing podcasts was the last straw.
GPM became YT Red (later YT premium) which is just a music streaming service and ad free YT vids. I never used it for podcasts anyway. PocketCast for Android for that purpose.
I went to Google IO the year they announced Google Music (2013?) and they offered a special discount for those in attendance. I gotta hand it to them, even through all those transitions (Red, YouTube Premium) they have grandfathered me into the new services with the similar discounted price. If they ever took the discount away, I still kinda feel like the family plan is a bit justified given how much my wife and I consume YouTube content.
