Yes. I love many of Google's products, but there is always the fear that if you add them to your workflow, they could be removed tomorrow for no good reason. D

  The loss of play music to Youtube music was such a massive, significant downgrade. If I didn't get grandfathered in with my plan from the old Youtube Red days (it includes YT premium alongside YT music) I would have dropped the whole thing by now.

    With YT music, you still can't add a song to the same playlist more than once. It's like they unnecessarily chose sets rather than lists. This stuff should be easy.

      It's the CurrentYear™, and we still don't have play counts (like personal ones, not the youtube global count). Play Music had it, even my iPod shuffle from 2006 had it, but YT Music for some reason don't.

  Adobe have the same problem - it then becomes a self-perpetuating cycle, as people won't adopt the new software because they can't risk losing years of their work or their skills becoming irrelevant. The only way both can stop this is by sticking to a product, for better or for worse, and then actually innovate, not sit still once they've wrangled competitors. The pattern from a business perspective is so repetitive as to be tiring: Get involved with anything that threatens their core revenue source, suffocate or buy out competitors, then barely push the needle forward ensuring that disruption never comes from within. I believe that if Google weren't so against self-disruption that much of the latest AI innovation would be entirely theirs to own.
