'YouTube Music is a Bad Product in Desperate Need of Improvement Before Anyone Will Care To Use It' (androidcentral.com)

Andrew Martonik, writing for AndroidCentral: YouTube Music as a service has been around for about three years now, though it really only existed in earnest once the revamped version of the YouTube Music app and dedicated website, as we know it today, launched in May. Whether you look at it as three years or just six months old, one thing is clear: YouTube Music isn't finished yet, is filled with issues and is incredibly frustrating to use on a daily basis considering it costs the industry-standard $10 per month.

YouTube Music is so unfinished and lacking features that I question whether Google has any intentions of following through with its vision of replacing Google Play Music entirely. Put simply, I can't believe Google thinks anyone will pay $10 per month for it when all signs point to Google itself not caring about YouTube Music's success. YouTube Music effectively doesn't work with Google Home. [...] YouTube Music also still doesn't work with Android Auto, which is just as inexcusable as not working with Google Home.

Not a suprise

This isn't a surprise. Google does most things halfway and will eventually cancel it.

I know, Google is a joke. You can't enjoy any of their products without having the thought in your mind it'll be gone tomorrow on some asshole VP's whim. None of them appear to eat their own dog food either. They probably all have fucking iphones under the table playing their Apple music. Because who the fuck in their right mind (and this is coming from someone who only uses Android/Youtube Music) will stick with/pay for a service that is going to abruptly end or get worse. They only care about their pressure behind the scenes AI gathering usage and user opinion. They don't give a damn about what people even think anymore.
