Well yeah, I have a family subscription and I don’t need to pay for another music subscription like Spotify etc. YT music has come a long way since it’s release (i’ve been with it aince the start) and it’s great now. I like that you can watch the music video version too.

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

can’t YT Music be bought separately for a bit cheaper?

Isn’t it interesting to consider what it must be like? I cannot imagine any scenario where I would pay for this.

ublock origin stops youtube ads

yea, it also lowers creators’ revenues
YT should really make a user-centric revenue system if that’s not already the case, or advertise more and be more transparent about it, it might get people to change their mind
I started whitelisting some YT channels to give ad revenue to them, but since I didn’t know if they did get money or not, I stopped.

I quite enjoy YouTube premium. I was an avid Adblock/YouTube Vanced user before, but now that I am a little older and make more money, I realized it’s worth it to me to get premium. I don’t pay for any other streaming services, and YouTube is what I watch the most so I figured why not support it.
It makes me feel better knowing my money gets distributed to creators as well through YouTube. That did not happen before as I always blocked ads. Plus I don’t need Spotify if I want to stream music because I have YouTube music. And YouTube music actually seems to have more of the music I like anyways, plus I already liked finding music through YouTube channels anyways.
I’m not advocating that everyone should buy YouTube premium, I’m just saying that it can have its merits for some people.
