Yeah, no.. it's already overpriced.

Paramount + £6.99 Netflix £10.99 (standard) Youtube £12

Makes no sense.. they don't have anything like the production overheads. Stuff like Star Trek and Stranger Things are expensive. '10 greatest cat videos' is not.

Well it also includes a streaming music service which are normally $10/m on their own.

I can't see the value in using youtube for music.. it's not like I can watch music videos in my car. That's worth $0 to me, and I imagine the majority. Spotify is better.. or apple music if you're on the fruit side.

Youtube music doesn't have music videos, not sure what you are talking about. It's just a clone of play music after they shut it down.

Fwiw, it's not videos, it's a Spotify clone.

If you've already got a solution for ad-free music in your car, sure, obviously. Not everybody has that though.
