How? I use my phone for internet and don't have any issues.
In the time it takes for a video to even show up, I can have a song playing with a playlist behind it. One video is the same amount of data as many songs.
My phone is my home internet and is often under 100KB/s, even at 240p YouTube takes way longer than YouTube music.

Premium but without the music. And with ads apparently.
Before this change it was with ads for music content.
-
YouTube music is better than music on youtube, particularly for people with slow or capped internet.
Moderately, it's still not as good as Play Music it replaced, and frankly the only reason I use it is because it comes with Premium (and Lite gets ads so fuck that deal), otherwise I'd subscribe to something else for music (aside from growing my album collection on Bandcamp).
-
Or, and hear me out: just install a browser plugin and forget ads exist.
I hesitate to name extensions names, but I’ve literally never seen an ad on YouTube.
These companies don’t respect us, so I don’t feel the need to respect them by allowing them to force their meaningless bullshit down my throat.
I don’t use it that much, but you better believe if I go to YouTube to watch a video, that video is the only thing I’m watching.
Firefox + ublock origin + sponsorblock and I haven't seen an ad on youtube in all the years since I started that combo.

I remember when YouTube Music first came out it was pretty much just the audio from the videos in the most atrocious quality. Has it changed since then?
Youtube Music is pretty much just youtube with a different UI - the videos are the same. The audio quality is whatever's uploaded, so it'll vary a lot song to song.

I heard good things about play music but I was super pov when that existed and didn't pay for any online stuff, it was piracy or nothing.
Thats the exact same reason I have YouTube music.

Oh good, I’m not missing out then. I moved around quite a bit between Deezer, Tidal, random piracy in FLAC until finally landing on Apple Music.

They just want users who are paying full freight as they know the ad business is in step decline.
Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.

This ain't reddit. You can freely name extension names here.
uBlock Origin

Oh I know, I’ve been here for years despite the age of my account. I just migrated from lemm.ee
I tend not to like to name these types of extensions because more exposure puts them at risk, and they’re super easy to find anyway.

That was the reason to use Play Music when it was a thing. Upload all your torrented music and stream it for free.

It will literally never end.
This is why anyone who was excusing advertising at all is part of the problem and should be seen as a useful idiot.
Stop lowering your standards so people richer than you can be even richer.
There's one in the article comments. Talks about getting the material "dishonestly" and violating the TOS.

I've had no issues with adblocker for over half a year. Works flawlessly on both browser and mobile browser.

Problem solved! I don't need to think about this premium stuff any more. Recently, I've been playing with the idea of paying for premium, but that's no longer the case. Specifically, the family pack is the one that kinda made some limited sense in the past. I can see the kind of game Google is playing, and I'm not planning to participate.

It very much is and is talked about basically nonstop everytime the topic comes up from any content creator that's been in the game for longer then a decade.
The ad based system the internet is built on is unraveling.

uBlock is already pretty much known as the best adblocker in the internet. Not sure what more exposure it could get.

There are people out there Who don’t watch YouTube on their PC. Can’t install a browser plugin on my TV.

The internet isn't built on it. The commercial websites who do not have other products (as in all the websites related to RL goods, stores,...) are.
