Why did they get rid of Spotify Stations? Like I'm about to subscribe to Pandora to get this back but 128kbps.

Well the model Pandora still uses.
Google has the functionality to give third party apps access to your YouTube account and that's all you're using here. I can imagine them eventually blocking it altogether, but I can't imagine them banning accounts for it.
They're all $11 for an individual plan, I was talking about family plans.
They charge $17 for Music only without including YouTube Premium in the US.
The big thing that convinced me Spotify is better as a music service is that it was able to successfully recommend me a band I like that has only 71 listeners, and is similar to another band I like with 140 listeners. YouTube struggles with even understanding what artists are similar to those two and just plays other stuff I listen to (that's unrelated) on artist radio.
I left YouTube when they took away my grandfathered family plan, but Spotify has the same crap. Sponsored home screen recommendations, concert recommendations for bands I've never listened to, etc...
I'm not sure about individual plans, but YouTube Premium Family went up to $23 per month. I've been a member since day 1 and they eliminated all grandfathering for me. Spotify is $15 for Duo or $17 for family.
I have both T-Mobile and Visible on my phone and I've had to switch to Visible in more congested areas because T-Mobile will crawl.
I've stuck with T-Mobile largely for the international data (plus the grandfathered plan I have) but unless you travel intentionally every month it's likely cheaper to just get an in-country eSIM plan to cover you for traveling.
Don't they get money if I, a premium subscriber, uses radio?
