Super sincere question.
> Google's reputation for not supporting things long term
I didn't know Google had such a reputation. I mostly use drive and gmail, so it was fine to me.
Does google really have such a reputation? Any place I can read more on this?

- kalmi10 4y agohttps://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/ I miss Google Reader and Google Wave the most.
- nitrixion 4y agoI really miss Google Play Music. For my needs, it was the perfect streaming service. Youtube Music is a huge step back. Spotify is far too playlist and recommendation happy, I want to listen to albums not curated lists. Tidal is decent, but similar to Spotify. Apple Music is the one I haven't tried for more than a couple of days and I don't recall what I didn't like about it.
- bobsmooth 4y agoI don't understand this comment. You can listen to whole Albums on Spotify.
- nitrixion 4y agoYes, you can. Easily! The point I was making about Spotify is that even if I solely listen to music as full albums, I only get recommendations for playlists. I rarely want to listen to a playlist. There are a number of other things I don't like about Spotify, but it works well enough.
- gilrain 4y agoApple music is my choice, exactly because it is still album focused. That said, I’m not surprised you bounced off… the UI isn’t very good.
- adwww 4y agoI keep getting free trials and financially it makes sense to me with Apple One etc, but every time I've tried it I've ended up back on Spotify. I've concluded the price saving isn't enough to use a product who's UX I enjoy less, even if it works well for other users.
- shadowofneptune 4y agoIt made a great offline music player, too!
- Peanuts99 4y agoSame here, GPM recommendations were fantastic and the interface was very simple and nice to use. When they moved the service to YouTube music half my playlists were filled with poor quality songs uploaded to YouTube, it's a mess. Spotify is okay and does have some nice features in the way that casting works and multiple devices joined to one account, but it's certainly not as enjoyable to use.
- baq 4y agoGmail and drive are pretty much the only safe havens. The rest… how many its own chat apps will google kill this year?

- metaltyphoon 4y agoYes, they do. I personally would never put a single service on GCP just out of principle.
- futureshock 4y agoVery sincerely, you must read just about zero tech news. Google has been infamous for this ever since they shut down Google Reader in 2013. For about the past 10 years they are a company adrift that can no longer launch new products without getting absolutely ridiculed. Everyday consumers have lost their faith in the company because they are so used to getting jerked around anything G. People I know wont touch a G chat app because they know it wont last 6 months.
- phao 4y ago> Very sincerely, you must read just about zero tech news. Not 0, but really not much, that is true. I remember the shutdown of google reader. I tried it once, but let go of it before it was shut down. But I really didn't know google had this kind of reputation.
