- bduerst 9y agoThat happened because Amazon violated Youtube's TOS by stripping key services like subscriptions, channels, etc. Amazon can implement Youtube as long as they follow the TOS, which they're choosing not to. It's a rule set that everyone has to follow when using Youtube, and isn't singling out Amazon the same way that Amazon is singling out Apple and Google.
