No, I pay for premium.

  And, of course, the price of Youtube Premium just went up this month (I'm also a Premium subscriber). Seems like Big Tech this year is focused this year on trying to optimize its revenue streams (e.g., more ads on Youtube, crackdowns on password sharing on Netflix).

    Still cheaper than virtually every streaming service for equivalent plans. Max and Netflix are both $20/mo for 4K ad-free.

    When Spotify raised prices, I evaluated other services. I found that YT music was a thing and at the time I was listening to more music on YT (mostly covers) than Spotify. Kids get baby shark without ads. So it was an easy decision. YouTube has a family plan, which was a bit pricier than the Spotify. But that family plan also means I could share my Google One (i.e. cloud space). Easy decision too. The services they give scale with price. Unlike Netflix, which has removed my favorite shows and are now trying to get rid of family sharing.

  Same here. It's worth it for the bundled YouTube Music, which is much better than Spotify.

    In what ways? I’m curious. Been a Spotify user from day 1 and it’s hard to imagine YouTube music is better, but I’m open to trying something new.
