Why do many actually find YouTube Music (Premium) overpriced?

Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music, … Costs in principle as much as YouTube Music. YouTube Premium costs 2 euro more and you then have advantages such as freedom to advertise on YouTube.

That has but little to do with Youtube Music. Premium costs 2 euro more per month and is therefore an additional offer.

Plus, why do many compare the YouTube Originals with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Maxdome, even though that's just a nice addition and not the focus of the offering?

Youtube will never be able to gain a foothold in this segment, as the user Youtube associated with free private videos.
Spotify / AppleMusic / Deezer… Why not give it up to get YoutubeMusic? This is really only worthwhile for people who are constantly streaming Youtube videos.
For the par videos I look at on Youtube I take a bit of advertising halt purchase. I do not find YT Music overpriced, I just think it's a bit confused and unnecessary.

Ki

Because the majority want to use youtube Premium without the music streaming offer. But you will now be forced to pay.
Especially because they already have "Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music…" already.

Advertising freedom on YT, you do not need a premium.

Why do many compare the YouTube Originals with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Maxdome, although that's just a nice addition and not the focus of the offering?

YT Originals are content produced by YT… The same is true for Netflix and Amazon Prime and none of them are the focus of the platform. At least not yet. Amazon Prime also includes much more than YT Premium offers. If you want or not.

And at the cost… Is everything relative: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/youtube-premium-youtube-music-und-google-play-music-180-statt-1199-inkl-google-play-music-uber-vpn-1439545

Yes, that's stupid with the imposition. However, with only 2 euro per month per person certainly not all costs are covered.

Yes, good. In India, people also earn a little bit differently. Then it is clear that it is cheaper there. However, you do not know how long Google would do something in Germany. A blocking of the account or the exclusion from the service, is now not so great. Since the family subscription is much safer.
