Yeah, no.. it's already overpriced.

Paramount + £6.99 Netflix £10.99 (standard) Youtube £12

Makes no sense.. they don't have anything like the production overheads. Stuff like Star Trek and Stranger Things are expensive. '10 greatest cat videos' is not.

Well it also includes a streaming music service which are normally $10/m on their own.

They should offer it seperately.

IIRC, YouTube Music is also offered as a standalone service, Atleast in some countries. However, the difference b/w YouTube Premium and just the Music service comes out to be miniscule, so folks just pay for the former.

No, I want Premium without Music. It's not offered anywhere.

Same thing with Amazon. I want Prime without Prime Video. It's not offered either.

Oh, I understand now, especially the second one. The only thing from Amazon's product line worth using to me is the Prime delivery service. I can't give two hoots about their Prime Music( which I lost respect for after it denied to run for me on any browser on Linux for some reason) or Prime Video.
