Lack of ads. Background play. Offline viewing. Prenium members are also much more valuable for creators in terms of revenue.
I'm aware of NewPipe. But I don't like it's design and I use my YouTube account on multiple devices. I depends on my playlist, like videos, history and recommendations far too much to use NewPipe.
Also, YouTube Music is a proper streaming service with proper algorithm and so on, it's not just the music videos of YouTube. :)
I use an app called 'smart tube next" on my FireTV stick. Im now using re-vanced patched YouTube on my Android.
I would use rif to browse /r/listentothis and open YouTube links of what I wanted to listen to into ~Vanced to cast to my TV. Once a video was cast onto the TV the next link would give me an option to play or put in queue.
Then I could scroll, select, queue, scroll, select, queue, etc.
On Android you can split two apps on your screen, one on top and one on bottom, so I don't get pulled out of rif when selecting a song.
I know this all sounds complicated, but it's pretty easy once you understand it.
Anyway, I do this when I'm working around the house. It takes the TV away from me as an option so I don't get distracted while I'm cleaning.
I wish the queue was available without casting, I know YouTube was experimenting with it as a premium feature. It would probably canalize from YouTube music though.
You should consider Youtube Revanced Extended (Or even just Revanced in general)
