I specifically started paying for youtube premium because spotify just didn't have nearly as much of the music I listen to, and specifically the artists I listen to, and the youtube music app was good enough. The fact that I can watch youtube without ads is a nice little bonus.

For my purposes, youtube premium is 100% worth it.

I'm actually not super familiar with Spotify. Does it not allow users to upload their own music? I understand YouTube, it's easy to upload to it, so all an artist needs to do it add some cover art and upload the music. Surely Spotify wants to encompass the SoundCloud functionality.

As a listener, I use yt because it's easy to find new things similar to what I just heard. And people also do mixes of many different pieces together, like a mixtape from someone I don't know. Those are great for uninterrupted listening. Can you do that on Spotify?
