Seems like a good alternative. Do you know if there a way to import my current subscriptions?
Also, I've been using the music service for some time now as well. Do you have any suggestions for viable replacements for that?
YouTube Music ReVanced exists if that suits you.
ReVanced can patch quite a few apps, actually, not just YouTube.
What all do you use it for?
I mainly just use ReVanced for YouTube and YouTube Music. It supports some other apps I use (like Twitch or Spotify), but there are better alternatives to those two. (If you'd like to see a full list of the apps supported by ReVanced and the patches available for those apps, go to https://revanced.app/patches .)
Someone created a version of the Twitch app that supports BTTV emotes, blocks ads, auto-claims channel points, and auto-updates whenever there's a new version available. They called it BTTV, though I don't believe they're actually associated with the BTTV browser extension.
As for Spotify, I use xManager. They patch the Spotify app to allow ad-free music, among other Spotify Premium features. (Not every Premiums feature is enabled. Some require communicating with Spotify's servers, and those aren't enabled.)
Self-host Navidrome on a cheap VPS (or at home), use Symfonium to stream your music to your phone/car.
