Not Spotify, but I pay for Amazon Music. I listen music all the time, and it also works for 5 of my family members (out of which 1 listens a lot and the rest listen a little). It's cheaper than Youtube Premium and has better quality as far as I can tell. I don't listen to podcasts, but I know people listen to them in during their commute. In fact, I am surprised someone with kids and little free time considers Youtube an integral part of life. I watch an average of 2 videos a week, usually skipping most of them. Mostly DIY guides. Maybe I will subscribe once my kids are in age to watch educational videos, but even then, I am pretty sure I will prefer Curiosity Stream, which I trust waaay more than Youtube for kid-friendly content. |

Nursery rhymes on YouTube Premium are a blessing. When we were trying to teach my daughter to eat solids we struggled until we played compilation videos of other babies eating really well and then my daughter started to try to copy them. This was a blessing for the first child who doesn't have an older sibling to copy from. So many other useful scenarios where YouTube really helps.
Then of course all the other content. I love watching people doing reviews of products. For example, last Black Friday we bought an Air Fryer and I wanted to know what is the practical difference between the Ninja Dual drawer and single large drawer with divider. Like I'm already sold on buying a Ninja, just need to know which model and those YouTube videos are fantastic to do this kind of research. Same thign when I bought an expensive coffee machine and the brand had 3 different models which were very similar but with minor crucial differences.
Then of course there are all the podcasts on YouTube as well. I mean if I wanted to listen to Joe Rogan there is no shortage of him on YouTube for instance.
I love that YouTube also has sooooooo much other amazing content. Only 5 days ago when I was cooking in the evening I was rewatching an entire Tennis match, one of the classics between Andy Murray and Roger Federer. It's all on YouTube in high-res. Where else do I get so much value for money? It's definitely integral to our life. YouTube has it all.
