I've been using Google Play Music for years now, although it wasn't my only music app until the Songza acquisition in ~2014, its now become the only thing I listen to, except for the occasional XM radio in the car when I'm bored. The YouTube Red thing seemed useless at first, but I've found myself consuming more YouTube content these days, and while I wouldn't pay for it on its own, as an add on feature its pretty useful.
At this point there is no way I'd go back to listening to music with ads in it, and unless google ruins it, I don't see any reason to even try to switch.
- sandyarmstrong 8y agoI'm confused by your last sentence. What music service can you pay for that has ads in it? Whether you pay for Spotify or Apple Music, there are no ads in your music.
- bobthepanda 8y agoSpotify had that giant Drake "promotion" a few weeks ago, which a rational person would think is an ad.
- wilsonnb2 8y agoI use Spotify on multiple devices every day and didn't notice anything about Drake recently, so it must not have been that effective a promotion.
- ClassyJacket 8y agoIt was obnoxious and took over the whole discovery section.
- ClassyJacket 8y agoThis is wrong. There are ads in Spotify premium, in the UI. There was a gigantic obnoxious one a few weeks ago for an artist starting with D and ending with E.
- sandyarmstrong 8y agoSee my wording and parent's wording. We were very clearly discussing audio ads that interrupt music. Of course there are ads in Spotify. Music itself is full of advertisements, too. That's a different problem, though.
