    YouTube music won’t play in the background though, so it’s a pain whilst driving and navigating traffic or routes. Some of my friends make playlists on there and share them, so I do use it sometimes.

    But absolutely use the service that brings you joy, not the ones that I prefer!

      It does for me though? Unless you don’t pay I guess? On android you can patch this with revanced, or use custom players

        What’s revanced? I’m not especially keen to give Google my money either. They fall into the category of businesses that have way too much money and power already.

          https://revanced.app/

          It’s basically a patcher app to apply some FOSS changes to your regular apps (ex: modify the YouTube app to add custom features, remove ads, add background play, bypass some other…)

          I believe they have patches for YouTube music to remove ads and add background playback for non subscribers
