Spotify after the whole Neil Young/Joe Rogan thing. Using Youtube Music instead, which is nice because I watch Youtube mostly on the TV, so I don't get ads. The Youtube Music app is not that good, but it's ok enough to avoid Spotify

Same, and apart from the recommendations being a bit more fast and loose on Youtube Music , they have way more out there recommendations that I like, but would never have normally listened to.

I've moved to Tidal for the same reason; can't find any difference in the music library in my taste-niche

How do you avoid ads on the TV? I have a TV running GoogleOS (Android), with YouTube as an app of course, and it's full of ads. I finally learned about SmartTubeNext and installed it and it's bliss. But the regular, out-of-the-box experience was horrible with the regular YouTube ads.

I think he's saying he quit Spotify for YouTube Premium which includes YouTube Music and has the benefit of no YouTube ads
