I still have the original Google Play Music All Access intro deal of $7.99/month from 2013.
They contractually can’t raise the price on me ever. 12 years so far.
I also buy CDs, or Bandcamp downloads directly for those I really like, and want to donate to.
I “curate” whole discographies of stuff that I want to “archive”.
But when someone recommends music I haven’t heard of, I load up their most popular stuff on YouTube Music and listen to a bunch there, ad free. Then decide if or how I obtain more.

That’s how much I pay for YouTube Premium.

As a newpipe user myself, are we now pretending this doesn’t happen for 90% of videos?

I’ve tried those. They aren’t as good as YouTube Premium.
