Yup, the lack of a YouTube app (and Google actively blocking MS's attempt to create one) was a large factor in the death of Windows Phone.
- wkat4242 3y agoReally? I rarely watch YouTube on my phone. It's like watching video through a toilet roll. Much rather watch it on my computer screen or TV. The one exception is a waiting room or long train ride but really if I have any bigger screen available I'd go for that.

In contrast, consoles and connected TVs reported a share of views corresponding to three percent and 14 percent of the total, respectively. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1173543/youtube-viewing-time-share-device/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,percent%20of%20the%20total%2C%20respectively https://www.statista.com/statistics/1173543/youtube-viewing-....
