Wow - that's really something.

It could almost be compared to Google's feed, included in the pixel launcher...

For some time now, every 5th or 6th card is an ad ... And over time they slowly look just like the normal news cards.

Yeah, nowadays we're getting ads forced upon us - one way or the other ads have to be seen, preferably clicked on, by us.

You're telling me, that Windows now shows ads in the start menu?

Sorry, it's probably a stupid question, but i haven't used windows since XP.

Complacency and apathy like to hang around with corporate greed and racism quite often, so i heard.

There might be a chance of eliminating four ghouls with one spell.

Thanks for the tip - I'll surely make a dump and the re-tagging should be worth it. I actually always enjoyed tagging mp3s. There's something rewarding in hearing and seeing the result playing out.

Also, good to have your data also "in your hands", literally.

I'm really curious if my purchased music will be included.

Before YouTube Music, I purchased quite a lot of albums on Google Play Music. Paying normal CD prices, no renting.

My Google Play Music library consisted of 60% uploaded and 40% purchased music.

After my Music Library migration to YouTube was done ( this sentence alone, is enough doom and sorrow for any music lover ), my uploaded music was merged with my purchases and both were put under quarantine within the "uploads" tab.

No way to recognize purchases or even the possibility of downloading any of my uploaded or purchased music.

The money I paid for the music?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: i bought 2 - 4 albums every month on average. For a few years. Sometimes more. So, it's not like they only got a few bucks ... At least from my pov. lol

I'm using dns.adguard.com as private dns provider in Android s network settings. Am i doing it wrong? I never see ads in any apps or browsers though... they are blocked everywhere
