This is nonsense. Among other things, the YouTube app on Apple TV is superior to the one on Android TV. No loud startup sound, the back button exits the app rather than popping up a menu asking "if I'm sure" or if I want to go to a screensaver mode - clean straightforward UI.
- gessha 11mo agoI guess they just hate their users lmao
- atty 11mo agoNever ascribe to malice what can be sufficiently explained by incompetence. And i think it’s fair to say the best and brightest at Google aren’t turning their attention to YouTube lately. Except maybe to make training datasets for Gemini N+1 :)
- jacquesm 11mo agoIn the case of industry giants malice should be assumed.
- hulitu 11mo ago> Never ascribe to malice what can be sufficiently explained by incompetence. We were talking about Google here. (you know, former search engine, don't be evil)
- immibis 11mo agoCan malice be emergent behaviour?
- a96 11mo agoWell, psychopathy is an inherent feature of corporations. I wouldn't be surprised it malice will quickly develop where that appears profitable.
- hylaride 11mo agoTheir customers are advertisers, not users. By the looks of things they love them.
- ashdksnndck 11mo ago> the back button exits the app rather than popping up a menu asking "if I'm sure” YouTube did push a version of the Apple TV app that tried this, but it would cause the app to crash/black screen, no joke. They reverted it.
