Rationale
Apple Music is a music streaming service, which is fundamentally different from an online publishing platform for written content. None of the 'must-have' features for a content publishing platform (rich text editor, distribution/recommendation engine for written content, membership monetization for writers, reader engagement metrics for articles, community feedback for stories) are present in Apple Music. While both involve content distribution and monetization, the nature of the content (music vs. written articles) and the specific features required for each are distinct.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
