Right, this is making me think I should cancel my Spotify account and get YouTube premium. Is it as good as Spotify for both podcasts and music?

  You might be jesting, I'll still answer :) I don't know about podcasts, but there is just so much spoken video content and there is background playback.. so I actually use YT for such content since I have premium (not YT music). For music, YT (music) has been at least on par with Spotify for me. Search can be slightly confusing when the content you are looking for has not been uploaded by "official artist channels", but in the end artist, album, title and "go to album" still always work. It feels they have at least as much content, probably more. Recommendations have been way better for me so far as well. Might be because my Spotify account was overfitted and had too many playlists, but spotify recommendations had become unusable for me, that was one of my reasons for cancelling. I guess the killer feature combination is really just background playback + YouTube catalogue + perfect filtering of music vs non music content.
