Respectfully, I disagree. To the point where I want to yell at the screen. If the appliance still works, don’t stop supporting it. 9 years is not that long of a time.
I don’t care that it means more work for the development team. They had software working for it, and at its core YouTube is just displaying streaming video. If it can work on a $15 Roku stick, it can run on an Apple TV of any flavor.
Please stop perpetuating all this BS that we should be replacing our perfectly functional hardware every 5 years and keep software working.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoApple does still support it. Apple’s own shows work on it. > They had software working for it, and at its core YouTube is just displaying streaming video. Who is they? It takes 2 to tango. What is Apple supposed to do if YouTube/CBS/MLB decide to stop sending MP4 video and the device they started designing 10+ years ago was only designed to play that (or not play what ended up being the winning format)?
- falcolas 5y agoThis rant wasn't aimed at Apple - sorry if that was unclear. It's aimed at YouTube devs (and developers in general) - the ones who stopped their support.
