I used Google Music from it launched until when it was shut down. Then I decided that I'd rather use a service where music streaming was their main business model and not just a side project or hobby that could get shut down at any point. So I left Google and switched to Spotify.

I also have issues with Apple music competing with other services while Apple owns not just the platform but also forces its competitors to use them for distribution and payment, but that's a separate issue.

How does Apple “force” competitors to use them for payments when Spotify hasn’t had an in app purchase option for years?

Same here. When Google Music was finally sunsetted, I switched to Spotify. I actually ended up keeping both subscriptions. YouTube premium and Spotify.

I loath any kind of ads.
