I want ad free YouTube but don't want YouTube music. I don't want to pay for extra shit that I won't be using.

I use Spotify way more than I use YouTube. Spotify does one thing and it does it extremely well.

If Spotify added unlimited free Uber eats delivery tomorrow and bumped up the price to $20 a month, then sure, it'd be a good deal but I wouldn't want any of that.

You see: the difference between us is that you see YouTube Music as an extra. I see the other features as an extra since I only really use YouTube music.

Sure, it sucked about 2 years ago but it has become really good in the last few months.

If you don't use Spotify and use YouTube a lot, YouTube premium is worth it.

So why don't they split YouTube and YouTube music subs? It can save people like us money

They are somehow already split. I only subscribe to YouTube music.

When you subscribe to YouTube Premium, which is more expensive than the YTM only sub, you also get complete access to YTM included.

They had that in parts of Europe for a year now as a trial. But they are discontinuing it this month, making us choose between ads, and lots of YouTube premium crap we don't want.
