Death remains undefeated!

Been an android guy forever until this year and car play is SO much better. I figured the touch screen in my Kia was just a little slow and shitty. It wasn’t. It was my pixel 7. Car play is so fast and responsive in comparison.

That's what I thought, and it's kind of a silly point to make. You're just moving around the order of the steps. They still pay for it.

Creators no longer get ad revenue? What did I miss?

We've all got to find balance in our lives! Sounds like you're doing that! Wish more people would take this approach, if the streaming eco system no longer suits us we can simply choose to not participate, we don't NEED the entertainment they provide. That's the only way the product will improve, if we just continue paying for it what incentive do they have to improve the service?
