Very cool mixup.. I have yt premium, and I boycotted Spotify a long time ago. However, Spotify is probably still the best service for playlists.

YouTube Music pays less than Spotify per stream, if you're boycotting Spotify for that reason I think it's good to be aware of it.

I'm boycotting them because of many things.

Although youtube music is in the plan, I don't use it, because the UI is not that great and there's this weird entanglement with youtube videos.

I generally use (video) youtube and soundcloud for music. They're the easiest way to find the stuff I like to listen to.

Do you have average figures for how much each platform pays per stream? My colleague has his music on both and has said YouTube pays 2x as much per stream compared to Spotify.
