Itās been my music streaming service of choice for several years after moving over from Spotify.
But Iām starting to move back to physical/owned media because of the way YouTube interprets COPA.
You canāt save music to a custom playlist if itās āfor childrenā, you canāt play it in the mini player.
Iām a teacher, making curated playlists with childrenās music is important for me, as I imagine itās equally important for parents who want to put all their skills kids favourite songs in a private family playlist to keep car rides sane. Itās baffling that YouTube wonāt let me do this.
And because my algorithm is so fucked up if I start a āradioā from something like Aladdin or the Lion King (you know, show tunes that are appropriate for kids) it will start playing Beetlejuice right afterwards, because I listen to that album in my own free time, and the algorithm recognises them both as soundtracks, and doesnāt understand how that might not be appropriate for me to have as background music in my classroom.
Iāve set up a childrenās profile to avoid this radio issue, but then it limits music that is children appropriate but not marketed as such, songs like the Carpenters āSingā or even Beetles here comes the sun, are ānot for kidsā so I canāt play them on a kids profile.

Iāve been using it for over 10 years. I actually much prefer the old Play Music service that Youtube Music replaced. No ads in Youtube is as important as the music service itself to me, now.
