I'm sure this was labor retaliation or something but watching YouTube music eat google music and then steadily get worse. I don't know. Fuck google and their lack of support. I don't like Spotify particularly but now I use it because i really hated youtube music's suggestion algorithm.
Youtube Music's interface is a cluttered mess and I much preferred the spartan UI of Google Play Music. It took much time for the former to reach feature parity as well. Oh, and now they shutdown their dedicated Podcasts app in favor of merging It into YT Music. It is a disappointment, to say the least.
I don't think it's even reached feature parity. I think YouTube Music still doesn't let you upload your own music to your account?
One can upload their own music to Youtube/Music's servers via their web client.
Yeah play music looked good, it was easy to find full albums by genre, and their suggestion algorithm played stuff I liked but had never heard.
The podcast app sucked anyway, couldn't even download episodes to the SD card.
