I LOVED Google Play Music. Hands down, one of the best music streaming services I’ve used. And then they killed it. And replaced it with a totally not-fit-for-purpose YT Music app that couldn’t even load the full list of artists in my library (scroll, wait for load, scroll, wait for load).
And now this.
Having used Android as my daily driver since the HTC Dream, I moved over to Apple a year ago. I miss many things about Android but the constant death of great but poorly/zero marketed products and services isn’t one of them.
Still on Android here, but Apple Music is by far the best music experience (even on Android!) which I find quite amusing. Was a worthy replacement after GPM died.
RIP Google Podcasts. I'm not a fan of everything being moved under the YouTube branding, a platform I've come to associate with terrible ads, questionable algorithms, and the promotion of misinformation.
I understand the hate YT Music has for its history of being released as a big mess, but nowadays the app its actually pretty good. And having the podcasts inside the YT Music will help the podcasts that release in video to have both in the same place and interchangeable (is that a word?).
