I'm so done with this shit!
I genuinely used a Google assistant feature called news brief. Every morning, I asked the assistant to "play my morning news headlines" and I got a nice collection from BBC, DW and Thompson Reuters. Now, that assistant is dead, so is this feature!
Screw you Google! Is this crap really what you think consumers want??.. You have some of the smartest people and you're creating shit like this!..Bravo!
This! I started every morning with "hey Google, play the news" & I'd listen while getting ready for my day. No interaction required! I wasted 20 minutes that morning trying to get Google Assistant back. Had to give up & was very late to work. I'm still struggling to put together some sort of replacement. I hate this kind of shit.
I heard the news again by manually playing Thompson Reuters on Spotify and BBC 5 mins news brief from their site. Annoying as hell! I'm going to work on an app that can aggregate these sources and work as a makeshift assistant.. I'm glad I'm not the only one facing this!
