    That's too bad. Because I don't know anyone who's excited to give YouTube any money at this point. I used to buy some movies from Google once in a while, but after they did the bait and switch with music and movies I don't trust their media store anymore. It's clearly not profitable enough for alphabet. How much longer are the assets I already paid for going to be available? When will YouTube decide those licenses aren't worth continuing?
    I think consumer trust in Google is probably at an all time low.

      It's funny. They could try—I don't know—providing some good products that sell themselves, but instead, they have decided to resort to surreptitiously selling our data and pushing more schlock at us.

      Weird that people wouldn't be excited about that...

        man, I miss Google Play Music.

        It wasn't half bad for buying albums.
        I was so pissed when YT Music first came in to "replace" it only to find none of my purchases on GPM mattered because YT Music doesn't allow for actual downloads (just offline downloads that you can only play in the app).

            Playlists, albums, and just the subscription prices. Bundling my price with YouTube premium to make it seem like a deal when I just wanted music and my price was going up.
            There are still some remixes and things that I can't find anymore that used to be on my regular playlists. I wish they gave me a little more heads up so I could document some of my playlists.
            I also purchased albums and Google straight up ripped us off. They should have refunded every purchase we made, or at the very least gave us Google play credit as a show of goodwill, but instead we were told to just try YouTube music, it's better.
            Does anybody have a better service for buying books and comics? I really like Google books, bubble zoom is awesome for comics on the go and the syncing between devices is convenient. But I'm so sick of their nonsense, I don't trust them to not try the same shit with books and I'm reluctant to give them any more of my cash.
