    Haha. This is something that they have been testing for some time now. I ended up changing to YouTube premium a few years ago from Spotify and I think it’s pretty good!

    I find it hilarious that people down vote me. It’s horrible apparently to be subscribing to something that’s google…

      Which is fine… until YouTube premium gets a massive price increase to try and capitalise on subscription apathy.

        For me it was Spotify’s patent on manipulating people’s mood with music, noped right out of there after that. I’m in a position where I can afford to go back to buying songs, so I actually did that (better for the artist and I don’t have to worry about any recommendation algorithm accidentally making me depressed because depressed = “more engagement”).

        I’m not sure if it was related but, coincidentally, I found my mental state in a far better place about a year later.
