They tried having a Play ecosystem with Google Play Video, Music, Games, etc. Music was actually pretty good, so of course Google killed it in favor of YouTube Music, which is terrible and plays YouTube video versions of songs instead of actual album stuff.
Ytm definitely does have album content, wtf are you on about. Yes you can play videos there too, but it's by no means the default.
It's actually pretty good, just wish they did a lossless tier like tidal
It's mixed. The worst is playlists, which are mostly just YouTube playlists without video. Was trying to play a Disney song playlist for a friend's kid, and it was definitely from the videos, with all the sound effects from the scenes in the movies instead of just the song.
