This hobby is subjective, but sometimes I get bamboozled when I see someone doing a review with a high tier equipment and use spotify.
Spotify is pretty trash from what I hear on my end. I am suprised you even mention youtube music. spotify blows youtube music out the water, that said, spotify still trash.
I use tidal, but for the past 2 years, I just purchase the flac files on bandcamp. Once I got into using roon, I never wanted to go back to using any other music listening software
Tidal is also shit too from what I hear. Multiple sources of mine who have way more experience with headphones than me have said its streaming quality is garbage, and as a result; adds extra bass and treble into the music.
Compared to the same songs in flac or wave on my dap or phone, or even Napster Tidal sounds weird to me. It sounds like everything has been put through a smooth jazz filter/eq/sound effect or whatever. It's not always a bad thing. It can soften some harsh poorly recorded, mixed, mastered etc music but if it's music that actually sounds good lossless I'm generally not a fan of how it sounds compared to other options.
