I...honestly don't think you're particularly honest about this.

Mainly because Youtube red exists and it's main sell is removing ads, but we already know the answer to that. (Most people don't actually want to buy the service)

And it's not like it's shitty service. It's Youtube without ads.

    I don’t need music, I just want ad free YouTube. There isn’t an option for users like me.

    ...?

    Just use the ad free youtube...and don't use the music section?

    That's what I do 90% of the time....

    The price reflects including the music service whether you want it or not.

    How much do you really think they would take off of the price tag if you didn't have music? most similar subs are within the same price range....

    I always figured youtube music only existed to make the sub more incentivizing. It probably doesn't even cost them anything they aren't already spedning on youtube.

    It needs to be about half the price, if not less tbh. At its current price it’s rivaling netlflix, paramount, etc which are full studio’s producing the content, not just hosting it.
