      Why are they forcing users to YouTube Music anyway? They could improve the product before killing all of their other services.

      YouTube Music doesn’t even remember where you left off. Switch to your phone? Music queue is gone. Close the tab? Music queue is gone. Anything other than an algorithm curated playlist will make you have a shit experience on YouTube Music.

        It’s my theory that all large media corps want to go back to owning and controlling all of the media that people see. Google especially, since they’re an advertising business at its core.

          But… google podcasts was already owned by them. They aren’t gaining any users by doing this

      Exactly. YT Music of such a trash interface compared to Google Play Music that I actually bothered to try Spotify when they killed GPM. They’re not accomplishing their goals here
