Remember when Google Music hadn't been killed yet...? ( lemmy.world )

I'm cleaning out my gmail folders this weekend, and went deep into the archive to 2011, when I got my invite to Google Music.

It's funny, because I just (November) moved all of my music out of cloud and back to local-only. Amazon was the last straw, when I tried to play purchased music, and was forced to listen to it on shuffle with other songs not of my choosing.

Anyway... there was a time when Google (ahem, Youtube) Music was set to be a game-changer. Imagine if enshittification wasn't a thing.

Remember when the Intenet made you optimistic? That's why I think these posts gut me so much. Because it doesn't do that anymore.

Anyway off to continue doom scrolling.

"The internet will bring us all together! It will democratize truth and information!" Was the manta of the 2000s.

20 years later and the exact opposite happened.
