- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Google states that access to YouTube TV remains for those who already have the app installed but urges Roku not to remove the app from its platform and bring it back into its app store. It also points out that YouTube TV is still available on many of the best streaming devices like its own Chromecast with Google TV.
It's going to be the same shit with YouTube Music which was a dumb fuckin move anyway since Play Music was just fine.

Google about they money. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit they bought YouTube for 1.65 billion. Google makes 1.65 billion quarterly from YouTube ad revenue. Roku will lose that battle.
There are so many workarounds it's difficult to even find a fu, let alone a fuck.
Something like this happened with Amazon Fire where they stopped letting you use the YouTube app and had to use a Web browser app to go to YouTube. After like a month, they brought the app back.
YouTube is about to pull its apps from Roku, and the fight is going all the way to Congress
Google said Thursday it would remove YouTube apps from the Roku app store on Dec. 9 as the two sides fight over a new agreement.
I got two micro PC's connected to my largest flat screen TV's. I have my admin account on both and guest accounts that way no one can login as me and access my shit.
PC supports Wi-Fi and bluetooth so I can connect via my bluetooth headphones if I don't want to disturb the room. HDMI connection from PC to TV makes it even easier.
As a result I haven't used my Roku devices in about 6 months.
I even stream Netflix movies right from Netflix.com using Firefox.
Because of Ghostery addin for Edge and Firefox I watch YouTube with no ads for free.

Roku gonna lose in the end...too small to win against Google or Amazon....TCL TVs now come with Android TV too so Roku no longer has a monopoly on their biggest money maker
I have no doubt that Google wanted preferential treatment but Roku is up against it
