What’s worse is that they are folding podcasts into it. Google Podcasts at least had a nice timeline based feed of your podcasts all in one place. YouTube music, to see my podcasts? Open app, tap podcasts, under your shows, click more, then new episodes. And if you finish an episode of whatever your listening to, instead of the next in the sequence, it just starts playing random shit like an animation compilation from a podcast that I don’t listen or subscribe to. YouTube Music is trash. I don’t need another “Everything” app. Just fuck off and let me listen.
I don’t get what you think that “realization” changes. I occasionally watch videos on YouTube and I’d be willing to pay a certain amount to watch to those videos without ads. Since they don’t offer that, I’m not paying them any money. For the record, they did offer such a plan called “YouTube Premium Lite” not that long ago and they axed it.
The realization is that you can’t really remove the music part because you could just use YouTube instead of YouTube Music to listen to the music ad free > yes in theory it would be possible for YouTube to say “everything that is on YouTube Music will have ads on regular YouTube if you get “Premium Lite”” but that would just be more complicated and people would complain even more
You do realize that YouTube itself is the streaming service, and “YouTube Music” is just a different frontend for YouTube
Yep. With the 1999 MP3 quality, arbitrary intro tunes, and everything. Such a pity, Play Music was extremely good.
