Yes. YT Premium costs me only 1.20€ more than Spotify so I use YT Music and also have no ads and can listen to videos with my screen off on my phone.

But if they'll increase price here too then I'll just stick with NewPipe which I also have installed and no music app.

Btw... I pay 7.19€ for YT Premium. Spotify is 5.99€.

I think listening to audio only (no video wasting bandwidth) with the screen off and Youtube Music seem like actually valuable things to have if you do a lot of driving. I don't listen to Spotify at home, but when I was driving a lot I sure did.
