I still have the original Google Play Music All Access intro deal of $7.99/month from 2013.
They contractually can't raise the price on me ever. 12 years so far.

    I couldn’t keep paying for it in good conscience when they killed the original Play Music app and along with it: their awesome selection of curated playlists, the best library organization I’ve seen before or since, and the critical one, the ability to upload your own music that wasn’t available already. I just can’t stand YouTube as a music organization platform.

    Edit: Oh! And not to mention the I’m Feeling Lucky button that somehow no one else has managed to replicate.

    That's how much I pay for YouTube Premium.

    I also buy CDs, or Bandcamp downloads directly for those I really like, and want to donate to.
    I "curate" whole discographies of stuff that I want to "archive".
    But when someone recommends music I haven't heard of, I load up their most popular stuff on YouTube Music and listen to a bunch there, ad free. Then decide if or how I obtain more.
