      I already pay for Spotify. They knew exactly what they were doing when they lumped that shit in YouTube premium

        IIRC, YouTube Music is also offered as a standalone service, Atleast in some countries. However, the difference b/w YouTube Premium and just the Music service comes out to be miniscule, so folks just pay for the former.

          No, I want Premium without Music. It’s not offered anywhere.

          Same thing with Amazon. I want Prime without Prime Video. It’s not offered either.

            Oh, I understand now, especially the second one. The only thing from Amazon’s product line worth using to me is the Prime delivery service. I can’t give two hoots about their Prime Music( which I lost respect for after it denied to run for me on any browser on Linux for some reason) or Prime Video.

      I can’t see the value in using youtube for music… it’s not like I can watch music videos in my car. That’s worth $0 to me, and I imagine the majority. Spotify is better… or apple music if you’re on the fruit side.

        Youtube music doesn’t have music videos, not sure what you are talking about. It’s just a clone of play music after they shut it down.

        If you’ve already got a solution for ad-free music in your car, sure, obviously. Not everybody has that though.
