That's why I'm asking. I'm trying to decide if I should renew YouTube or get a Spotify subscription. Spotify is cheaper with the three months free introductory offer.
Are you on android? So this exists It is the app you're talking about, they just carefully don't mention that to avoid obvious illegality. I'd also check out https://revanced.app/ for YT. The patcher also supports a number of other apps these days, including Spotify and Twitch.
These are slightly technical tools that will probably take you 10-20min of reading to understand. In think that is worthwhile to not hear ads and not pay a monthly subscription. But everyone has their tolerance levels.
Spotify app is OK. I can listen to music on background with no problems. You said you listen to obscure songs, Spotify is lacking in that regard and YTM has the best library.
