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.
