Not 0, but really not much, that is true.
I remember the shutdown of google reader. I tried it once, but let go of it before it was shut down.
But I really didn't know google had this kind of reputation.
I miss Google Reader and Google Wave the most.
Youtube Music is a huge step back. Spotify is far too playlist and recommendation happy, I want to listen to albums not curated lists. Tidal is decent, but similar to Spotify. Apple Music is the one I haven't tried for more than a couple of days and I don't recall what I didn't like about it.
Spotify is okay and does have some nice features in the way that casting works and multiple devices joined to one account, but it's certainly not as enjoyable to use.
I've concluded the price saving isn't enough to use a product who's UX I enjoy less, even if it works well for other users.
The point I was making about Spotify is that even if I solely listen to music as full albums, I only get recommendations for playlists. I rarely want to listen to a playlist. There are a number of other things I don't like about Spotify, but it works well enough.
> Google's reputation for not supporting things long term
I didn't know Google had such a reputation. I mostly use drive and gmail, so it was fine to me.
Does google really have such a reputation? Any place I can read more on this?
