And it'll increase further in the near future... Only for background play and Advert removal, 16/month is absurd considering they don't have any content licensing headache and as such unlike Netflix, Disney + etc. Also, in case of YT Music, royalties paid out to artists are pretty opaque and pretty turbulent. Better to buy albums directly to support them. Brave FTW otherwise for YouTube
