    Google Starts Blocking YouTube on Amazon’s Fire TV, Echo Show

    Google is crap, myself & others will simply boycott their products due to their piss poor decision.

    This really sucks because I start my day with YT on Firestick.

    But I'm not mad at it, this is just two heavyweights jockeying for position in the space where they're easily the top 2. I get it.

    I get it as well...But I don’t have to like it & will not support Google as a result of their poor decision.

    I don't know the context really, so I can't say who's side I'm on.

    In all honesty, I might just spend a one-time payment of $39 just to get a Chromecast and have YT back on my television.

    I rather buy a smart tv to play & cast youtube, than to support Google:

    For anyone losing Youtube come January 1st on Amazon Firetv, an easy fix is to type Firefox in your search bar & download the Firefox browser. Then access Youtube clicking on your downloaded Firefox app:
