So, rather than having some revenue coming in from YouTube, they’d rather force everyone to use their own website? Do they not understand that not everyone watches YouTube on a computer? Some exclusively use the YouTube app on their phones, TVs, or game consoles.
I dunno. It’s not as if it costs them anything to host the videos on YouTube. Seems odd to completely cut off a revenue source like that.
They have apps for phone, TV, and game consoles, though.
And, as far as I’ve always known, those apps are awful. I haven’t checked in awhile though.
YouTube ain't much better, even if you pay for it.
