I might get a bit of hate for this considering the community name, but Spotify is the one subscription I pay for and don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off. Basically every song I want is on there, they very rarely remove content, and the algorithm actually comes up with decent recommendations. I even like some of the other random features like Spotify wrapped.
But the main difference I see vs other subscriptions is that I don’t feel locked in, since there are no Spotify originals etc if they ever make the service too shit (which admittedly they might since they keep raising the price and trying to shove podcasts down everyone’s throat) I could easily switch to a different streaming service or even go back to just buying music outright
If you ever get tired of paying for it, use ReVanced + Spotify (Android), or EeveeSpotify (iPhone)
I just hate the fact that free Spotify sounds so dogshit compared to Free YT Music, which is what I used for years until I got an android again and used ReVanced.
I used to like Spotify. Right now YT music feels just way better. No fluff yet, just music. Plus all of the unofficial covers which are on YT are on YT music
That’s definitely the nice thing about YT music for me. Whatever random niche songs my son wants about games or characters, or ordinary popular music any of us listen to, are always on there. Plus we use regular YT all the time on several devices, so it is literally the only streaming service I pay for.

YT music does have a problem with reuploaders stealing revenue through “topics”, Upper Echelon made a video about it a few weeks ago
Sounds like a temporary issue but google does take its time to fix anything
