I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different “stations” based on my mood. Any suggestions?
I don’t think this is true, I only ever get audio from videos in some community playlists, it definitely doesn’t do this for me by default. Maybe it’s a setting somewhere?
I am using Youtube Music premium - there is a setting you can enable under Playback & Restrictions called ‘Don’t play music videos’ so that you should get audio only or album versions of songs. this setting works well for me and I haven’t heard the music video instances of songs yet
I just did a bit of research and it looks like if you have a free account it will almost always play the Youtube video instead of the album version (possibly as an attempted foil for ad-blockers?).
