Sorry for the bad place link but I'm just going to drop this here and walk away. Whistles inconspicuously

Is this the sort of thing that will get me blacklisted by Spotify?

I guess if you're worried about that use a burner email. I'd suggest Proton, very easy to make a new account. No personal information required.
But I've been using it on Android problem free for quite some time and never heard of anything like that.

Might be the push for me to go to YT music, which I already pay for with YT premium, but I’ve never wanted to use it. But now that Spotify is giving me a reason I might just switch.

Funny you mention that. I just got an email last week that my youtube music price was going up to $14.99/month. I’ve used it since the days of google play, before it joined with youtube and it was like $9.99 (mostly out of a dislike for spotify). But it isn’t the best service tbh, what with low-quality audio and a buggy app interface. So I was finally motivated to make the switch to Tidal this week. Loving it so far… hope they don’t follow suit and up their sub price like the others (knock on wood).
FWIW, the email I got from youtube said something about being able to sign up for a cheaper rate if I nuked my account and made a new one on youtube through a web browser. Not sure why that would make a difference, but I was too over it to even bother.

I am actually debating canceling my yt premium sub over it and im going to twitch turbo, I have been progressively using yt less and less anyway and to be honest, the new price point (which was 13.99 for me) is not worth the benefits it provides. mobile queuing can be used via playlist or watch later, adverts are annoying but avoidable with new found apps approaching. Downloading for offline use is a joke, it barely has ever worked for me. Picture in Picture mode is buggy and for the most part I don't use it. This combined with the absolute crap recommendation system they have had the last few years(like seriously its all either stuff in my watch history or stuff that is unrelated to anything I watch). I'm sure they are just following every other company but, it might just push me off lol
Also to clarify your nuking account thing. I expect you signed up via either apple subscriptions or google play subs, both of which take a chunk out of the money given. So that might be what is going on with the price diff.

If you're on Android, try out InnerTune. Just found it myself.

It's probably the best subscription I have for the price, so I don't really mind a small increase.

Hmm...my MP3 subscription has been the same price since the 90s.
