As someone who uses YouTube for ~12 hours a day and has been paying for Premium since it was first offered (as YouTube Red) here is what I do:

- Listen to / watch podcast (2 - 4 hours)

- Watch videos from a handful of creators like Linus Tech Tips or Tom Scott (3 hours)

- Listen / watch various conference talks (1 - 2 hours)

- Listen to music (~6 hours)

That’s about how I use it. Don’t really need/use other services except I do need Netflix for the Seinfeld episodes. YT Premium is my only must have subscription.

See that’s where I think YouTube dropped the ball if they had got some of that popular content instead of funding new creators.
