Hell I'm a millennial, and I bounce around music streaming services all the time. They all offer more or less the same thing, and overcharge like hell for it. Spotify will send me a trial for like $5 for 3 months or something, I'll sign up and set a reminder to cancel in 3 months, Amazon music will send me something similar, I'll do that, YouTube premium will send me an offer and I'll go there. Worst case I'll have to deal with shitty ads for a while in between offers, but I'd say 10/12 months a year I've got some kind of premium service going for a fraction of the advertised cost. I know that their goal is to get me hooked and paying monthly for their shit, but I'm on top of it enough to not ever let them. Fuck the shareholders. I'm looking out for me.
