That's too bad. I pay for premium, it's the main thing I watch, and I actually regularly download and background play, so it's worth it, but.... man, they've really been cranking up the price and it's getting ridiculous.

I wish they'd at least offer a marginally cheaper option without YouTube Music. Was a much better value with Google Play Music, YT Music is such a terrible service that I literally went out and started paying for Apple Music to get off it.

This seems like a pretty good indicator that they intend to stick with all or nothing though, which is very disappointing.

I use YouTube music because it’s bundled with premium but man that app is so janky, and it often seems to fail with downloaded music for me when out of cellphone / wireless service which defeats the purpose of having downloaded music.

I've noticed it chucks a shit fit when you lose coverage, even when playing downloaded music. It's not so bad when you didn't have coverage in the first place.
