I miss GPM. YouTube music is full of community-made playlist that are actually YouTube video playlists, so you'll start one up and have all the music video intros, interrupts, and extra sound effects and shit that get thrown in.

I started a Disney playlist for my nephew in the car, and you could hear all the sound effects from the movie over the actual soundtrack.

I haven't seen any of that. For me, Youtube music is almost exactly like Spotify experience-wise.

I think you can disable non-music videos from the settings, maybe you did that
