As a side note, YouTube Music wasn't really *that* bad of an idea. You're merging what's partially a music video service with an actual music service. The problem is that the middle section of the Venn Diagram is simultaneously too big and too small. It doesn't work great as a music service because it obscures your library too much behind YouTube recommendation BS *plus* the aforementioned music video problem, but it also doesn't work great as a visual experience because it has no issue shoving you over to a progress bar with some album art instead of an actual video. It's trying to be a music service and a music video service and it's bad at both.
