Because the Youtube Music app is garbage. I already have Youtube premium and tried cancelling my Spotify for a few months, even transferred my saved playlists over, and it was a horrible enough experience that I'm back to paying for both.
- mcmcmc 2y agoThat’s a little pot calling the kettle black. The Spotify app has been horrendous for years, ever since they started jamming in all the podcasts and garbage.
- redhale 2y ago100% this. I pay for YT Premium so I have YT Music for free, and I still choose to pay for Spotify because the YT Music app is that bad. Spotify's app is not perfect by any stretch, but comparatively it's amazing. I really miss the old Google Music service. But so goes almost any product run by Google for long enough -- slowly and inevitably into the ground (at least in terms of user experience, if not always in market share).
- retrochameleon 2y agoWow. YT Music must be extremely bad if Spotify is comparatively amazing. There are so many UX and general usability issues that drive me crazy and crazier still that they have made essentially 0 improvements to the app UX in the last 5 years. Other streaming services are unfortunately not an adequate replacement for myself, so I'm stuck with Spotify for now, unless I become determined to download my entire 8k+ library of songs for self-hosted options.
