Youtube music isn't an equivalent product.

Frankly it's garbage and when they finally pull the trigger and kill google music I'm going to stop paying them.



Definitely a bit different but as a whole, it's performing the same task for me. Stream songs I like, and I get the ad-free YT perk!

I actually switched to YT Music a year ago as I preferred the UX. But it's indeed subjective.


It consistently plays thing which are clearly not songs in it's auto playlists, it has no consistent normalization or quality, and makes finding albums more difficult than it needs to be.

It is an algorithm slapped over youtube rather than a music service.


> and I get the ad-free YT perk!

GPM and YTM are identical subscriptions and always have been for as long as I can remember, if not forever, save for that short time when YouTube Red was inexplicably a few dollars more per month compared to GPM.


YouTube Premium is still $2 more than GPM/YTM. GPM/YTM is included in YouTube Premium if you want YouTube Premium.


I am switching from Android to iOS and if they do that I will do the same and just susbcribe to Apple Music.
