Which music streaming app should I use? (beehaw.org)

I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?

I know YouTube Music got a lot of shit from the fans of the previous service, Google Play Music, but over the last year they've added most features back and YTM works really well. I also get YouTube ad free, although I've had it so long, I don't know if that's still part of the deal

The reason why I can't recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I'm trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn't figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they've fixed this?

I don't think this is true, I only ever get audio from videos in some community playlists, it definitely doesn't do this for me by default. Maybe it's a setting somewhere?

I am using Youtube Music premium - there is a setting you can enable under Playback & Restrictions called ‘Don’t play music videos’ so that you should get audio only or album versions of songs. this setting works well for me and I haven’t heard the music video instances of songs yet
