The author prefers YouTube Music to Spotify as it feels like a more complete service, driven by its integration with YouTube and the abundance of unofficial songs and covers that can be found on the service.
YouTube Music benefits from being connected with YouTube, in that it can easily offer music videos alongside audio, and allows users to easily transition between the two, leading to a more enriching experience when listening to music.
The comments section on YouTube music is also seen as a positive engagement tool, that helps users discover new music through genuine recommendations, and allows people to feel more connected to other users who share their musical tastes.
YouTube Music provides better value for money than Spotify, as it is part of the YouTube Premium subscription, which offers ad-free access to all YouTube content, for the same price as a Spotify Premium subscription.
