I have no problems with YouTube at all. Perhaps it's because I pay for Premium (primarily to get YouTube music).

Regardless, Google services getting worse over time is becoming a law rather than a tendency.

I don't get the value ad of youtube music. Everything's already on youtube and they let you make playlists, and they have playlists of the top charts already.

What else does youtube music get you? I can play on my phone with the screen off with yt vanced ( and I would never pay just for that feature, because I remember when it was free and they took it away )

    I don't use it but ui probably. ads maybe. plenty of people have money and don't want the inconvenience of trying to get around it.

    For me, it just comes with Premium, and I buy Premium to support the creators I watch often without having to watch ads. I want them to get paid.

    No ads on music, no ads on shorts (shorts are allowed to freely use copyrighted music unlike long form video), background playback, downloading music to your device. These all are big value ads for me.

    You can play youtube videos (ad free) as music on any chromecast device including chromecast homes with the microphone turned off.

    Also, when playing music you won't be hit with ads.

    Your setup can move with you wherever you are, home, travel, in the vehicle. This can be helpful for engaging the audible sensors of small aliens sans screen.

    Youtube without ads on every device, anywhere, is quite a different experience.
