Basically, Amazon decides to be dicks by refusing to sell Google products on their site. So Google is pulling the Youtube app from both of their Echo Show & from their FireTV devices.

It's a big blow to those who owns either of those devices, as YouTube happens to be one of the most popular apps that people use a lot.

Ironic considering that one of the big proponents for Net Neutrality is to prevent companies from denying services and features over others, which Google unabashedly supports.

Maybe in some kind of greater point about freedom of access it's similar, but this has nothing to do with Net Neutrality.

Except that you have many people in which they own only one streaming device besides smartphones (some of them being FireTV, etc.) in which they want to access YouTube through their TV's.

Now those specific owners are already receiving notices about YouTube being gone starting on January 1st next year.

I. Know. That. I know that already. For fucks sakes, dude. Not that dumb. I was commenting on how this is like when one of the big US telecom companies was refusing to allow access to a service offered by Apple unless customers paid a service fee, or were forced to use the telecom's own service, and how Google is a big supporter of Net Neutrality, which protects consumers from scummy practices like this.

Considering Google owns both that would be quite a decision lol.
