Are there any real advantages?

  1. No 5 seconds forced delay when using ad blockers

  2. Higher bitrates available

  3. Ad blockers don't work on Chromecast, other solutions don't offer easy casting from the phone app

  4. Better value than audio only services like Spotify

Revanced never offered above 1080p for me.

Morphe is generally offering 1440 and 2160, if available.

Videos that stop at 1080p often have an increased bitrate option with Premium (no idea how YT decides when to offer it). 1440p and 4k are available to all without Premium.
