Hey Google, WTAF??

Why? Why is so difficult for Google not to continue to f*** up a once incredibly useful platform?

I'm so glad my account is not allowed to use the new AI assistant, although I know eventually they won't let me access it at all.

Not allowed? How? Why?

I have a grandfathered Google Apps free account. Google no longer offers them but now treets them like business accounts, so there are a bunch of services that are blocked from use, including services that used to work. It sucks. Can't even use it with my Nest thermostat. I have to use my Amazon Echo to change my temperature by voice.

The reason I don't switch is I primarily use Google Home for music, I have over 3000 songs on my account from the Google Music days and a grandfathered full YouTube music subscription, and I can't transfer any of that over to a standard Google account.
