I thought the same thing. Was looking for the overall color temperature of the scene, but none really fit.

People are ridiculous sometimes. These companies aren’t going to eat millions of dollars per day in hosting costs to appease the minority who expect everything to just be given to them.

Dude, they ARE the advertiser. That’s Google’s main business. They have no incentive to export ANY of your account data to 3rd parties. Business tell them what groups of people to advertise to, and their systems handle the rest. They’re open about how it all works.

I hated the transition. Tried every service afterwards and stuck with Amazon for a year or so until a bug on their end wiped all my recommendations and playlists. I gave YouTube music a shot and am pleasantly surprised by how far it’s come. The auto generated playlists are spot on to my tastes and all my playlists from the GPM days were there. They fixed a lot of the UI problems too. For me, the price isn’t bad at all for what they offer.

I can’t deny that

Boost was my go to for years. Now I’m here waiting patiently for Ruben to make it compatible with Lemmy

Unfortunately, if there’s any hope of lemmy really taking off, they’ll come eventually. All popular sites and services have to deal with it at some point.
