In case you already know, feel free to ignore my comment, but with your Youtube premium subscription, you also get a subscription to Google Play Music (aka Spotify competitor from Google). I wish they advertised it better, because half the people I know irl who have a sub to either of them, don't realize that they get the other one for free.

i used three gmail addresses for one month trials of google play music before keeping it properly, and more recently answering dumb personal questions on the google rewards app has paid half of the monthly fee for it. i think the nicest thing about the youtube premium (if wanting to pay a bit extra than just google play music) is being able to have youtube play in the background on the phone.

  newpipe is a foss program that does this for free

    I came back here just to thank you for that. For others interested, newpipe is available on F-Droid. It has options for pop over video playback as well as background audio playback. Sure beats the always on Youtube app. It supports the importing of subscriptions but doesn't seem to handle playlist import currently.

  OT but how in the world do you get that many surveys in the Rewards app? I'm lucky to get $2-3/month...

Is that still the case for new customers? Even if so, sadly YouTube Music is replacing GPM. https://www.androidcentral.com/google-play-music https://www.androidcentral.com/google-play-music
