Why would Apple intentionally worsen the experience of Apple Music and then advertise people to sign up for that very same platform? What does that accomplish?
If they could make it only have a Play button, that only played what they wanted to stream to you, while you continue to pay a subscription fee, they would.
The reason to make it harder to navigate your own library is so you don't navigate your library at all and just put on a channel. Amazon did this also, to favor their subscriptions. It is now frustratingly difficult to play your music. Searches return results not in your library, even when you were searching... your library.
It's the same reason Google and Bing are so much worse than they once were. The apps aren't serving the users, they're serving the customers (shareholders and advertisers).
Hey I want to formally apologize for my earlier reply. I misread your comment, thinking your statement was about Apple Music. Reading it now I see you were talking about Amazon Music, which I have no experience with. Sorry again
Apple Music Voice is a subscription service. Music is an app that is preinstalled. If you’ve been using apple long enough you’ll have seen the gradual improvement in apps diminish to stop and in Some cases become removed to add buttons for the “signup” or subscription additions
This is different from intentionally sabotaging and degrading the user experience of a service, then advertising it to the world and telling them they should join, which appears to be what the original comment was saying.
