Inclusion of yt music was the thing that kept me on the subscription

Same here. I was struggling to get the ad blockers to work consistently, so I said fuck it and canceled Spotify and subscribed to Youtube. FWIW YT music does a much better job of choosing random music that I like; Spotify just plays the same shit over and over again.

I miss GPM. YouTube music is full of community-made playlist that are actually YouTube video playlists, so you'll start one up and have all the music video intros, interrupts, and extra sound effects and shit that get thrown in.

I started a Disney playlist for my nephew in the car, and you could hear all the sound effects from the movie over the actual soundtrack.

I haven't seen any of that. For me, Youtube music is almost exactly like Spotify experience-wise.

I think you can disable non-music videos from the settings, maybe you did that
