Google maps decided to take me to Sheetz instead of Wawa, tbf there wasn't a Wawa nearby but it just started navigating instead of telling me that, I would accuse them of having a preference but it's the reverse in the play store where if you search Sheetz the Wawa app comes up first as sponsored.

It only does that if you're not paying for it. Free users don't have the ability to play whatever they want. It's basically a radio if you're not paying for it.

I still use and prefer Pandora even with the ads. I like to have radio stations though to discover new music.
