For many years, I balanced life with two subscriptions — Spotify Premium for my music needs and YouTube Premium for ad-free video streaming. While YouTube Music was included with my YouTube Premium, I honestly never paid much attention to it. Spotify was my tried-and-true app for music, and I didn’t see any reason to switch — but then, things started changing.
It began subtly enough. Occasionally, I found myself using YouTube Music to listen to the audio versions of my YouTube playlists, sparing my mobile data by avoiding video streaming. However, as I kept reaching for it during road trips, something started to click. Over time, I noticed I was opening YouTube Music more and more when I felt like listening to music.
