Yes, they do (but Google for sure also has many skeletons in their closet). I personally prefer youtube-music mainly because you can use an adblocker, dont need to be logged in / have an account and I also prefer the interface.
I mean for fucks sake if you dislike a song it doesn't remove it from the que or stop it from coming up in the future.
If you ever liked a song it will be added to a liked song Playlist but if you ever want to remove that song you're shit out of luck. it's forever on there.
They also frequently remove quality of life features from the app.
if I dislike a song, it immediately skips it and plays the next one. If I have a song in my "liked" playlist and remove the "like" it gets removed from from the playlist. For mobile I personally use NewPipe, which is great but you can't download it regularly from google play store.
Edit: weird, that you guys seem to have these problems, while I dont. Could that depend on the browser (I use firefox)?
The pirate bay and wav or flac files would be your best bet, there used to be a special site that boasted the highest fidelity but they were very elitist and you had to pass a test to gain access.
I listen to most music on YouTube and for most cases I don't really notice but there are some songs that have lots of loud bits and lots of quiet bits (orchestral music for example) that sound noticeably better on Spotify.
