I've used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

It didn't include YouTube Music. It was also offered in a few select countries.

You don't want YouTube + YouTube music but you want Spotify + YouTube? I abandoned Spotify the second YouTube Premium was introduced in my country. I loved Spotify. I started using it back when it was invite only. YouTube Music is worse for sure, but it's good enough and a lot cheaper.

An easy answer, Spotify are where my friends hang around. I would not have any second thoughts to drop Spotify, but for me I love to share playlists, tracks etc with family and friends.

As general nobody use YouTube music here in Sweden.

I know. I'm also from Sweden. Everyone uses Spotify. We were such early adopters on a very broad scale it very quickly became a standard. I don't know anyone who uses YouTube Music except myself. Yes you can't share songs or playlists but I realised when I couldn't do it that I didn't really miss doing it either. I can still send my friends a text about new songs I like. I dunno. To each their own I guess.

You're having me confused. I'll never share any playlist and I'm on Spotify, should I leave then?
