With YouTube Music, Google is holding my speakers for ransom

This is an article written by an angry user whose usecase isn't well supported.

Like, it's a valid gripe I guess, assuming you think music storage and streaming should be perpetually free even if you didn't buy any of it on the platform, but it just doesn't apply to 90% of the userbase - who do license their music through a monthly subscription rather than buying it outright.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly excited about the shutdown of Google Music - but it's hard to take this author seriously.
