Google could provide an api that shows ads or plays ads. They could also even register the users to know who was listening.

They don’t want APIs and only want listeners through their apps. Kind of lame they aren’t building technical solutions for actual user problems (like I’d like to listen to YouTube in my channel), they would be able to charge advertisers more if there are 5 people listening to an ad vs just one.

So then Googs should embrace the bots and attach the bot to a user so that anything the bot does is associated with the user. win-win
