I also pay for premium, since it includes Google Play Music, though they're shutting that down in favor of YouTube Music... which kind of sucks, because I prefer the UX of Google Play Music, and really liked how well their "Station" lists were compared to other services.

Yet another google service I use shuttered in favor of something worse for me.

About half my TV watching is via YouTube on my ShieldTV box for channels I watch regularly. I got sick of the ads and willing to pay to support what I watch and listen to.

I am hoping tha Bitchute and others become more popular, as I really don't like what's happening to the platform in general.

> Bitchute

FYI and for anyone reading this, Bitchute is not P2P or decentralized at all. 100% of its requests are served from data center IPs in Kansas. It's a fraud.

I'm listening my music the same way I did 10 years ago and nobody can stop me.

Download, transfer to device, plug in headphone jack, press play.

It's very convenient actually.

I just tend to like differing styles of music together... it takes time to find new content/music/artists/albums, let alone curating playlists... I don't like listening to the same songs all the time.

I have a massive music collection, and sometimes I'll pull up a specific album or artist... but mostly prefer the streaming options were others' time are used to curate the play lists.

I kind of wish that independent streaming services weren't effectively crushed. I miss DJ curated content with fewer commercials.

Check out radio paradise, I fall back to that when I want to find new music or listen to mixed genres.

They also have a phone app that supports caching for offline listening and once you rate at least 75 songs higher than 6 out of 10 you can have your own stream composed of your favorites.

The moment Google All Music access disappears I cancel my subscription. I dont want YT Music and I dont want YT Premium.
