I don't understand how anything you're saying addresses the fact that Amazon is deliberately sabotaging their product for users of Google hardware. Years of consumer complaints haven't solved the issue. So what's the resolution? I'm not saying this is a great move by Google, but if it results in Amazon finally supporting my Prime membership to the same extent it does for Fire TV owners, then I'll take it.

I have never had a problem with youtube on Fire TV, which is the reason I subscribed to YouTube Red.

Amazon failing to support ChromeCast doesn't justify throwing your customers under the bus.

Which is exactly what YouTube chose to do.


My question is: if Amazon doesn't want to resolve this in good faith, then what other avenues does Google have?


None, because Google itself is engaging in anti-competitive behavior left and right. They sure as hell aren't going to lobby for the government to crack down on these practices when they are so dependent on keeping the status quo.


This one is on Amazon not Google. Amazon anti competitive behavior had to be stopped. Amazon has now pulled Twitch from the Roku.
