@balderdash9 YouTube Premium is actually a great value if you're like me and use YouTube Music as your main music app. It's only a few dollars more than Spotify and I get ad free YouTube included.

    I agree. I have the YouTube Premium Family Plan.

    For me, the price for Spotify and YouTube Premium famil was really close, and getting ad free YouTube and downloads in app for the same price sold it

    Plus, YouTube Music lets you add versions of songs on YouTube that aren’t official (at least it did).

    So, yeah, the way they push insane ads is terrible, but I like the product

    Your comment just reminded me that I've been paying for the family plan to include my father. The same guy that just kicked me out of the house I'd been paying him rent for.

    Screw that guy. Enjoy your unskippable ads pops!

    YouTube Music replacing Play Music is the main reason why Google can go fuck itself with YouTube Premium

    Yeah, but you get all of the crappy mp3 torrent rips that people uploaded as part of your music list that you pay for. Low quality music stream that costs money? No thanks!

    What? YouTube music is professionally sourced music like any other major service. You can upload your own music for personal use, but included music comes from the publishers.

    Where did you get that crazy idea?

    I think anyone can upload to YouTube music, or at least it's a lot easier than most platforms to get onto, so they have a point there.

    There is a recommendation algorithm though, so if whatever you upload is terrible, it won't go anywhere.

    Music you upload to YouTube music is for your own personal playback. It doesn't go to anyone else.

    People upload poor quality songs to YouTube. Look up "song name lyrics" for an example. Those songs get mixed in with all the official songs when you're listening on YouTube. Plus their interface just kinda sucks.

    No, they don't. There is a recommendation algorithm, and it doesn't recommend low quality shite. Their algorithm is actually pretty good.

    You won't answer a direct question, and only come back with this weird ass high school insult lol

    Stay in school, or at least pay more attention to your classes.

    But wait! When searching for your song you also get: 1) some girl in her basement playing a cover on piano, 2) some dude in his bedroom playing a cover on guitar, 3) some lonely divorcee's ripped version where lyrics scroll across static images of sunsets, 4) some crappy handheld video taken from the back row of a shitty venue from 2009. What a bargain!
