I have youtube music and tidal too (I pay for all because I do love my music) as well as tried every other service and Spotify is still the best daily driver by far because it does everything well enough and innovates just enough to be interesting but stable. Everything else is lacking some piece of a puzzle like no lyrics, small library, lacking core features.

Other than that Youtube music is severely under rated because of music videos but the rest don't really have anything special about them tbh

What core features is Apple Music missing for you? The library isn’t smaller than spotify‘s (and has actually usually been a lot larger) and the lyrics feature is excellent. It even has a rather good library of official music videos.

Also, what’s your reason of having tidal, spotify and YouTube music? In my experience they do not differ so much as to warrant paying for more than one…

Cross platform being main feature missing from Apple music also a modern discovery mechanism and no way to control output device like on spotify. No group listens or social features. It's not even close tbh.

I have tidal for some audio quality for my house speaker setup. Yt music for mtv chill nights and Spotify for everything else :)
