This is who you guys are talking about??? What a TOOL!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Yeah, there is.
Google is blocking YT from all Amazon devices because Amazon won't sell Google (or Apple) products that compete. You can buy a FireTV stick on Amazon, and for some reason a Roku, but not a Chromecast or AppleTV device.
However I think the main issue here is that YT got caught (again) with their pants down.
In the first case it was putting major advertisers next to ISIS videos and such. That caused YT to lose about 60% of their ad revenues, and that led to the first big purge.
Just recently there were a couple of big stories about how they got trolled into letting some very inappropriate channels into their 'kid safe' lineup, and again, tied them in with the few big sponsors they still had. Of course that led to another exodus of sponsors, so they are doing 'The Purge - The Sequel'.
What's insane is that they are promising to add 10,000 employees to moderate the channels now... At a time when their ad revenue is a tiny fraction of what it used to be.
Google is no longer the corporate sugar daddy it used to be. Now that the parent company is Alphabet, they are demanding that each subsidiary start making it's own profits rather than just suck from the corporate teat.
The only thing keeping YT from going the way of MySpace right now is the incredible cost in back-end compute, storage and bandwidth it takes to hold and stream petabytes of videos. In reality, Amazon is the only other company that could possibly match them, something I think that will happen in a year or two at most.
In the mean time, I watch everything I can at Full30, and I use Patreon to support the podcasts and video channels I like. I still go to some YT channels sometimes, but that's becoming less common.
Carl at InRangeTV (one of the founders of Full30) is playing around with a completely decentralized video distribution platform he's been working with, but even he admits it's nowhere near ready to compete with YT yet.
