youtube music shilling incoming, ignore if dont care :p
awesome if you're a spotify user, but to anyone on the fence, youtube music is just so much comfier. and if you're a privacy advocate or anything adjacent, i'm sure you're still using youtube in some way anyway so you may as well cut out spotify, another exploitative company, and just leave yourself with youtube.
there are plenty of free services that let you convert spotify playlists into youtube music ones, and you can listen to them using mobile frontends like InnerTune or web frontends like HyperPipe. free offline listening, no ads, good frontends, it's just comfy and you can cut out a dependency on spotify. besides, if you do end up ever trying to export anything from your spotify (playlists, downloading songs, etc), chances are it'll use the youtube api anyway.
it's comfyyyyy
Not sure if they're different now. I tried YouTube Music one year ago and it's very hard to find new music. On Spotify, I can navigate from one song to a related song and another and so on. On YouTube Music, it keeps taking me back to artists and songs that I have liked before, making it very hard to find new music.
I had to ditch youtube for music when it kept forcing a censored version of a song even when I was clicking the one with the [E]xplicit.
I've never used youtube music, how are the suggestions? I use spotify at work for background music. I want to be able to give it an artist or genre and get 3-4 hours of music I know and some I may not have heard of. But it needs to match my tastes close enough that I don't have to keep stopping what I'm doing, walk over and hit skip when it plays something horrible. Spotifys daily mixes do this pretty well. Does youtube have something similar?
