11. "Be a real shame if someone scrambled that nice ordered playlist of yours." (cracks knuckles menacingly) - Google
Having a unchecked random button, then randomly skipping about in a playlist anyway, unless you are a youtube premium user, is super dark pattern. Google pulling more and more user hostile shit like this is a gift to their competitors.
- wpm 4y agoI've de-googled most of my life except for YouTube, and sadly, YouTube Music. I'm still grandfathered in on the old Play Music + Premium deal for $9/mo or some shit. Too good of a deal to ever cancel, but man it sure does seem like Google is going out of their way to annoy the shit out of me until I do. Whether it's the dog crap tier STB/Mobile app, or the website, with almost scalpel like efficiency they manage to push me close to snapping every week. The new pastime, some moron decided either that they should store the choice for "Auto-play on hover" locally, or purposefully write crappy server-side code so the choice just so happens to randomly go back to the default "On" setting. I mean, my god, YouTube can keep track of over 500 channels I subscribe to, all of my stupid large playlists, but can't remember to keep a single boolean value about me? Oh gee whiz we turned auto play back on shucks where did I put your preferences? Can't find em here's a totally unrelated video haha!
- HlessClaudesman 4y agoSo annoying. So many great products end up eaten alive by bean counters and product managers trying to "improve" things. Just curious, what advantage does YoutubeMusic have over just playing songs & full albums in YouTube, other than the warm glow of being on the right side of copywrite laws?
