Comparing minor features of Spotify and YouTube Music

Nov 25, 2025 • 11 min read • 2400 words

Since Spotify recently updated their prices across all available premium plans, I decided to test out one competitive platform: YouTube Music from Google.

While many reviews and comparisons focus on the major differences, like price, algorithms, music recommendations, playlist creations and other promoted features by those platforms (including garbage AI features), this post focuses on unnecessary comparisons between little things most people don’t care about.

It has been more than two and a half years since the release of ChatGPT. The 30^th November, 2022 marked the beginning of a new era. The start of AI. Nowadays, many professions and people in private lives, especially in the information technology sector, use it on a daily basis. And we do not even know where we are on the Gartner hype cycle or if AI will improve following Kurzweil’s “Law of Accelerating Returns”.

The trend is still rising, but at the same time I have noticed a slight but steady degradation of knowledge on a human basis because people delegate more and more creative work to AI. As a result, I have decided to write a little blog post, where I can share my thoughts, trying to discourage the overuse of Artificial Intelligence which would ruin our cognitive capabilities. And although I know that very little people read this, it does not stop me from trying. Otherwise, I might have missed my opportunity in helping humanities future.
