Wonder when they’ll go after the legacy subscriptions. Mine’s still the $9.99 individual plan from Google Play Music days and it’s evolution. I haven’t seen anything yet and hopefully won’t for a while longer. Although, it’s just a matter of time sadly; gotta get those increased profits.
Oh I agree and probably should’ve said that. YT Music is still inferior compared to it. Only upside that I like is that I’m able to upload my own music into it. Instead of having to use my CDs for things that aren’t on a streaming services.
I wound up moving entirely to Plex and it’s janky Tidal integration because of that use case. Too much local/obscure music out there to not be able to add my own tracks.
We get 3 months at our current rate and then they’re bumping us up to this new price.
“Existing subscribers will start to see the new pricing with their next billing cycle. An upcoming email will explain the changes. Those who were grandfathered in five years ago (with Google Play Music and/or YouTube Red) will get three additional months at their current rate.”
Make sure you stay on top of keeping your card updated, I was on the intro price for family plan for years but got a replacement card and forgot to update Google and had to re subscribe at the regular rate.

I take offense to to this phrasing, as it implies GPM grew and improved. It didn’t evolve; it died and was replaced by an inferior product.

Same here, but I’m locked in at $7.99
I’m still at 7.99! If they increase it to 14 bucks, that’s gonna hurt.

Same here. I think I’ll just cancel and install SmartTube on all of my Chromecasts.
