Before YouTube Music, I purchased quite a lot of albums on Google Play Music. Paying normal CD prices, no renting.
My Google Play Music library consisted of 60% uploaded and 40% purchased music.
After my Music Library migration to YouTube was done ( this sentence alone, is enough doom and sorrow for any music lover ), my uploaded music was merged with my purchases and both were put under quarantine within the "uploads" tab.
No way to recognize purchases or even the possibility of downloading any of my uploaded or purchased music.
The money I paid for the music?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: i bought 2 - 4 albums every month on average. For a few years. Sometimes more. So, it's not like they only got a few bucks ... At least from my pov. lol
Fuck YouTube music, Google Play music was amazing and they had no reason to switch. Some of my stuff wasn't even available on ytm so even though I didn't buy a lot of music I'd literally spent like a week at one point uploading over 20,000 songs. It was one of the coolest features. Ytm is so ass
YouTube Music still hasn't got a "Delete Queue" button. Google Play Music had it, every other streaming service I tried has it, I've written them numerous times to request it - nada.
There are a variety of other issues, and they do nothing when you give feedback. Just care about getting your subscription $$$, and even not enough as other services as to try and stop you with some incentive when you unsubscribe. You said it best - Ytm is so ass.
