Well it also includes a streaming music service which are normally $10/m on their own.

I already pay for Spotify. They knew exactly what they were doing when they lumped that shit in YouTube premium

They should offer it seperately.

IIRC, YouTube Music is also offered as a standalone service, Atleast in some countries. However, the difference b/w YouTube Premium and just the Music service comes out to be miniscule, so folks just pay for the former.

No, I want Premium without Music. It's not offered anywhere.

Same thing with Amazon. I want Prime without Prime Video. It's not offered either.

Oh, I understand now, especially the second one. The only thing from Amazon's product line worth using to me is the Prime delivery service. I can't give two hoots about their Prime Music( which I lost respect for after it denied to run for me on any browser on Linux for some reason) or Prime Video.

I can't see the value in using youtube for music.. it's not like I can watch music videos in my car. That's worth $0 to me, and I imagine the majority. Spotify is better.. or apple music if you're on the fruit side.

Youtube music doesn't have music videos, not sure what you are talking about. It's just a clone of play music after they shut it down.

If you've already got a solution for ad-free music in your car, sure, obviously. Not everybody has that though.
