Yes, I prefer YouTube and use it for background audio when I'm not listening to podcasts. YouTube Music is a product trying to kludge way too much into a single app to be good at any one thing. It's an okay music player, decent podcast tool, and back YouTube secondary/audio only augmentation.

While I'm not all-in on the ecosystem, I'm pretty far. It's still terrible.

I still can't "cast" YouTube audio to my Google Home Mini unless I use the Home Mini in Bluetooth mode (I have more reliable Bluetooth speakers for that) even as a YouTube Premium user.

My Nest devices are stuck in limbo between the Google Home and Nest apps; it's been like this for years.

Integrating new Google devices into Google Home tends to fail without helpful troubleshooting a few times before they succeed.

I refuse to upgrade my Nest Thermostat 1, even though it doesn't support needed features like the temperature sensors. I've also had to turn off all the learning because it decides I'm not home, and doesn't infer that I am home from my Google Wifi hubs.

Whenever I submit Google Home/Chromecast bugs/feature requests I include some snark in my sign-off like "I know you don't care about this product and it will be killed soon, but if I'm wrong please consider the suggestions above."

Likely and somehow even worse.

Edit: Actually, Elon doesn’t seem to do polls without wanting an outcome and his follow up “Careful what you wish for” would support Sacks.

Honestly, the only feature that makes me lean towards the SE2 for my next phone is that I want a fingerprint reader since face masks have ruined Face ID
