So why Spotify premium and not YT premium?

not op - but I have been doing YT premium for about a month now, and find the music thing lacking immensely.

If I wasn't doing 30 hours of training / learning each week with YT I would not pay for premium. Yet I have paid for premium https://DI.fm for years and everyone tells me that spotify is really good at curation / playlists / discovering new stuff..

I could see if just using YT for random entertainment stuff not seeing real value in it overall - it could easily be replaced with videos hosted on FB or Insta or anywhere else basically for a lot of people.

ReVanced integrates SponsorBlock in addition to omitting regular ads and has some cool features like custom/definable playback speeds.

Yes… but you aren’t supporting the creators or the devs or servers that run the videos…

Would you pirate all your music if it was easier?
