Once Net Neutrality is repealed this will be par for the course unless you pay through the nose.
Extortion anyone?
The Youtube app on the 2017 4K FireTv sucked anyway. Since it couldn't play any of the 2160P60 videos. 2160P30 and lower were fine. My Rokus do a much better job with the UHD and HDR Youtube videos. Or my Sony UHD BD player also does a great job. But the 4K FireTV is one of the last devices I would choose to use for Youtube playback.
So Google pulling Youtube from the Amazon devices is no issue for me.
I bet they come to an understanding if Google is willing to keep playing hardball with them.
Youtube is one of the few products big enough to lever Amazon with.
I know since I got my Shield TV a couple of years ago I have slowly started watching more and more Youtube and less and less regular TV. I would guess I'm about 50/50.
