Stadia was amazing, google couldn't fucking wrap their head around the fact they needed to package it with other things. Why I. The flying fuck they didn't have a storage + stadia + YouTube + music plan k have NO fucking idea but if they did it would have been a roaring success
Anyone that used it can tell you the service was immaculate - they just would never stick to a fucking plan or properly advertise it.
Google doesn't understand products that don't 'change the world'. There are no decent successes to them, there's YouTube, then there's Google play music, even though the second is good it doesn't get widespread acclaim so it's garbage to them.
YouTube music is amazing - if it had mir podcasts, it would be my goto player for everything. I can get real weird music on YT music I can find anywhere else
Google play music was better imho, had everything, better interface, none of the annoying youtube-ness, it literally just worked.
And when yt music came out many of the files were at terrible quality because they were basically reencodes of uploads instead of official releases.
My library went from sounding beautiful to painful to the ears overnight. It's gotten better but I havent forgotten, that's a dick move.
