You could just buy YouTube premium.

Cancel Spotify, buy YouTube premium. Get both ad free videos and music on the same platform.

Or I could rip my legally purchased* CDs and give the finger to the leeches and rent seekers that fuck us almost as hard as they do the artists. Yes I support corporate genocide.

youtube premium is not a spotify replacement. Youtube is in no way built to be a music playback app.
“music playback app”?

YouTube is at least as good as the vinyl record player. It is also the sole location for countless live audio/video recordings of musical performance. It works fine as a “music playback app” and is, to emphasize, an _awesome_ and convenient resource of live music performance.

That's why every YouTube premium subscription includes YouTube music which is a decent Spotify replacement.
