Google now makes it hard for you to see Nest History

Is it me or has Google made it near impossible for you to see your Nest History - even if you subscribe?

My front door no longer sees history. Not my garage or anything else. Not on the app or browser. And it used to. Very easily and within the app or browser. Now you have to really look for it. 

Google seemingly wants to cut their costs in data while also making you pay for new hardware to get features you USED to have already, on top of jacking up the sub fee.

This is the power of monopoly, and it is repugnant. 

FU Google.

We've had Google Nest cameras and doorbells since 2019, with a Nest Aware Plus subscription since 2020, and we still view history for our 1st gen cameras and doorbells in the Google Nest app as always, as described in this help topic:

https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9208447

We can also still view it in the same way as always on the home.nest.com website.

Viewing video history in the Google Home app (for 2nd gen cameras and doorbells) has changed; this help topic describes how it works now:

The home.google.com website still does not provide access to history.
