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.
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).

Weird that people wouldn’t be excited about that…

It does allow for actual downloads, it’s called yt-dlp.
