I paid for the family plan of YouTube Premium + Google Play Music up until Google decided they'd rather use the vastly inferior YouTube Music. NewPipe + GreyJay + Ublock Origin + Patreon seems like a reasonable compromise to Google's customer hostility.

I don't love the UI of Youtube Music, but it came with a category killer feature for me: You can now grab tracks from any Youtube video.

If you consider that any track or music video ever uploaded to Youtube is now in their library, available to be thrown in any offline playlist, that's pretty cool. I have a bunch of old Japanese jazz albums that never got US distribution in one playlist. I have a bunch of random vaporwave and remixes in another. And I have another that is ambient noises for sleeping on the road.

_THIS_ is the reason I and many people do not want to pay for YouTube.

I pay for Kagi because it does what I want it to and it doesn’t spy on me. With YouTube you get shitty product that spies on you.
