@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
Why is that a bad thing? Genuine question, not rhetorical.
That just means that you get more with your subscription (YouTube features as well) doesn't it?
Because Play Music was a vastly superior product and they killed it to push people to pay for YouTube Premium.
@Kecessa I think YouTube Music is better 🤷♀️
Yeah I've been using the subscription since it was rolled into Google Music (RIP). Also use the family plan which helps with the value prop as well.
Libretube and Innertune for me outclasses both of those without any subscription
@_Sprite Disagree.
Each their own
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.
I mean it's much easier for actual artists to self publish than other platforms.
Source?
Worcestershire.
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.
This thread is about YouTube music, not YouTube. You can't see other people's uploads on YouTube music, it's only from the labels.
Are you confusing YouTube and YouTube music? You do understand they're separate services, right?
Uhh, what?

No, they don't. There is a recommendation algorithm, and it doesn't recommend low quality shite. Their algorithm is actually pretty good.
hahahahahaha
Good joke, having "algorithm" and "good" in the same sentence when talking about Google shit.
You're kinda doing the meme right now.
That person thinks we'd be happier if we were all back to being serfs, I'm gonna ignore their takes on music recommendation algorithms lol
It's hilarious how mad people will get over this stuff.
I just took a look through their profile, they're a very angry person.
Misrepresentation: a clear indicator that you have nothing between your ears :D
You don't think serfs were happier than us?
I think you're about as smart as a dead snail :)
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.
People like you don't deserve to be a part of legitimate diacussion
Well you have the literacy of a serf, you're halfway there!
@Anticorp it has all the high quality uploads of other music services plus songs that are uploaded by users that aren't available elsewhere, but go off.
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!
Are you confusing YouTube music with just listening to music on YouTube?
Or you just pick the top one which is the professionally licenced and released one...
