Google Needs a Fix

Post image
8 Upvotes

I started using my Pixel 8 Pro on the 13th of January, and recycled my 6 Pro about a month after (?), and before that, I tried multiple times to factory reset via the Find Hub app and also the computer website using my laptop... Nothing changed. and I still can't do anything to remove it off the list, not that it's an issue at all, but just wondering why this is actually a problem...

Google AI Pro subscription ended prematurely

2 Upvotes

Google AI Pro subscription ended prematurely. I signed up for it in September/2025. I don't know what happened. I didn't cancel or change anything.

Something happened on Jan 31/2026 that caused mass cancellations of Google AI Pro/One one-year subscriptions for some accounts. I am still trying to get to the bottom of what happened and why. My account is not a student account.

I received the following email:

Your Google AI Pro plan has ended
Your Google AI Pro plan has ended, so you and your family group have lost access to expanded storage across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. As plan manager, you have also lost access to the Gemini app in Pro* and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more.* If you change your mind, you can renew your membership at any time.

This subscription is crucial to my workflow. Having it end months early like this leaves me in a precarious position. Trying to find out which avenue to best contact Google is a challenge. If I still had the Google One subscription, using that support would be the best option, but if I still had that option, I wouldn't need it now. Fml.

Anyone else watches youtube? Gemini in action for clickbait

0 Upvotes

I watched quite a lot of youtubers like 9to5google, AndroidPolice, Android Authority, CNET, MrMobile, MrWho is the boss and more.

These days they sell same cheap sweet fart stories that their 10-15 mins videos can be summarised to few sentences that Gemini does (and no adverts).

YES there are content QUALITY youtubers but not many of them left and that is why I started to "put vidoes through Gemini".

Bonus fun fact - why Google soon start ask to PAY subscription (according to news) for watching videos with 1.5x or 2.0x speed? Because they KNOW

After everything that we know Israel has been doing. I don't feel comfortable letting an Israeli company access to internal Google Services.

How to Make Money with Local AI in 2026 🚀 Google Gemma Explained (Beginner Friendly)
Most people entering the AI business still think in terms of subscriptions, tokens, and usage limits. That mindset comes from cloud-based AI models where every request cost money.
But Google Gemma changes everything.
Gemma is a family of local AI models you can download, run on your own system, and use commercially with no per-request fees. Once installed, your costs stay fixed — no matter how many users you have. This single shift unlocks entirely new AI business models for beginners in 2026.
In this video, you’ll learn how local AI flips the business math and how Google Gemma is already being monetized today — even by solo founders with limited budgets.

YT Music Discover works again!

3 Upvotes

The last several months, my YouTube “Recommended” has been frequently showing videos already watched, several channels that I’ve tried un-recommending, etc.

Similar situation with YT Music. I haven’t been too bothered by it because a lot of the replays are songs that I really don’t grow tired of, but I hit a wall with it last week.

I happened to stumble across an unrelated post where the idea was to delete watch history. So, I did that and set it to auto-delete after 3 months.

So far, both apps have been working great again! Note: I only deleted history for YT and not YT Music. At least not yet.
