So, for years, Google's stated reason for lack of a Youtube client was that Windows Phone didn't have enough marketshare, and now suddenly it has so many users that it loses so many ad impressions because Microsoft's Youtube that the content creators are suffering because all the millions of freeloaders using Windows Phone?
i.e It doesn't care enough for the ad impressions on Windows Phone to itself make an app , but when MS does, the loss of the same revenue is the reason for sending the lawyers in and pulling the app?
- cooldeal 13y agoGoogle's "lack of marketshare" reason seems to be a bit lacking to me. Windows 8 sold 100 million and they still don't make any apps for it. In contrast, Yahoo Mail which is barely making any money by manages to make a nice one. http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/yahoo-mail/f90f38b5-101d-4efd-ab04-9d89cf0784dd http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/yahoo-mail/f90f3...
