Hi Shikotus,
Now maybe those people might consider an Amazon FireStick as well. But the first thought in their head might be, well, it’s Amazon, so I’ve got to have Amazon Prime to get real value out of this thing. Maybe they have it, maybe they don’t (again, lots of people do NOT like to pay Prime annual fees). Even if they do have it, they probably think about YouTube next. Hmm, I heard YouTube is a pain in the butt to use on Fire devices. You have to jailbreak them and stuff. That consideration alone will kill it for 95% of people out there. Then they might think about AppleTV for 5 seconds. YouTube is no problem, but then they will see the price. Wait, I know - why not just get a cheap Roku device where everything works nicely?! Click - there is another user for Roku! When you think about it this way, it’s pretty apparent that Roku’s support for YouTube (even though they get minuscule revenue from it) is actually a brilliant move.
This is incorrect. Amazon and Google have made up. Also, saying that people do not like to pay Amazon prime, well those would be the same people that do not like to pay for Netflix. But with Amazon prime you get so much more then just streaming video.
YouTube is returning to Amazon’s lineup of Fire TV products, and the Amazon Prime Video app will be adding Chromecast support and become more widely available on Android TV.
