    [Raises hand] I've been paying for a family music plan for years now. YouTube Premium was always just bundled with it. If they ever stopped the bundling I'd hop back over to Spotify.

    RIP Google Music.

    Also RIP Songza which Google bought, integrated into Google Music and then killed off when they forced everyone over to Youtube Music.

    Even then I still subscribed for a while and only dropped it recently.

    I pay 6$ using a student discount for YouTube premium because I like watching YouTube on my android TV and I can't use ad blocker there. In fact I've been using it for so long that it actually shocks me when I see someone open YouTube and an ad pops up it feels weird

    Same but I haven't been giving Google money so they can further ruin the internet.
