Just stop paying Google money and stop using their ad revenue generating services. Google doesn’t want consumer customers anymore and want gov/mil/corp going forward, one would guess. If you have to use YouTube for some reason, adblock the hell out of it.
List of things they canceled in the last few years alone:
cancel nest cameras
cancel nest smoke alarms
cancel nest secure
make pixel android hardware inferior
make android more closed every year, removing filesystem access, deleting old apps from store, etc. etc.
Chromecast killed
google one VPN killed
google podcasts killed, and that is just a simple app that plays rss fed mp3 files hosted on third party servers!
google music killed
Most of this list is Google slowly exiting the consumer space
Also, Google Music? I thought they had YouTube Music. I do remember Google Play Music (RIP collections of songs and albums by rather big artists I purchased for 0 Monies about 10 years ago and could download as files but have since lost)
