This is like a bully sitting on your chest controlling your arms going ‘don't punch your face!’. You preinstall Apple Music on a billion+ devices, undercut your competitors on a subsidized price they can never match, boost yourself with illegal anticompetitive features and entitlements and systemwide ad spots, regularly stall them from submitting updates, and then complain they don't innovate enough??

I'm seriously about ready for this company to burn to the ground

Apple Music is so 'innovative' that I had to nuke my 20 year old hand-curated library of a hundred+ thousand songs because of the catastrophic, unfixable mess the software made of it. I'm now living off a single tiny playlist

@stroughtonsmith Apple Music is so innovative that *they* nuked my entire music library, lost forever, when I wanted to change my credit card after living in a new country for 3 years.

@joshhunt @stroughtonsmith It's unbelievable that iCloud and iTunes accounts are still region locked, and you can’t just change your address and keep all your purchased content. I've moved countries 3 times now, and I've had to create a new account every time, so that I can keep my previous purchases, in order to use a new credit card and billing address.
