Open source alternative on Android: Antennapod: https://antennapod.org/ https://antennapod.org/download/ Available on Google Play and F-Droid. I switched to it many years ago anticipating this exact Google product shutdown, and I've been very happy with it :)
OK, I'm done. I need to migrate my email from gmail. It's going to be long and arduous. Suggestions on providers? Before you ask: No, I do not want to host my own mail.

I loved the idea of Youtube Premium at first, but I feel €15/month is exorbitant amount for what we're getting in return. Same for Facebook/Instagram which will have a similar cost starting from February.
> but I feel €15/month is exorbitant amount for what we're getting in return I think it comes down to how often you use the platform. YouTube has been my primary media source for the last twelve years and ads are what paid for that. Now that I can pay $14 (USD) per month to give the people I watch a bit more, have no ads, downloads, and a few other nice little features, it was a no brainer for me. I have always gotte…
YouTube Premium is $19/mo

Google as a brand is something I don’t trust anymore. - cloud? You’re far better at aws than gcp - email? Got my life-long gmail account blocked for no reason. I’m using icloud+ and custom domain now. I have a dummy gmail account just in case - drive? I don’t trust my gmail account so, I cannot trust drive either - search? Guilty. I’m still using it, but less and less - youtube? Annoying af with ads. I don’t bother w…
iCloud + custom domain is definitely better than Gmail in every way except maybe the webmail client. So glad I discovered it.

At the same time I can't shake the feeling that Google just enshitified the experience so much, that now "it's logical" to take a sub to make it decent again.
Your reputation has fallen among many developers for a lack of long-term commitment to anything.
Could you please get your executives in a room and figure out everything else that needs to sunset in the next two years? It’s fine for a product to run its course but the endless paper cuts of sunsetting announcements is getting old.
Once you figure out what needs to get cut, just make a big reset announcement and commit to supporting everything else for a decade.
It will take a couple years for us to believe you but better late than never.
Until then, we have to assume that everything is on the chopping block or at risk of 300% price increases.
You can do better.

I use iCloud for anything personal (been using it since MobileMe) and Amazon Workmail for anything professional.
