YouTube withdraws support from Amazon's FireTV and Echo Show
While nixing support for the Echo Show might not be a big deal, doing so for Amazon’s Fire TV will definitely have much more of an impact. YouTube states that it has tried to reach an agreement with Amazon and is simply looking for an even exchange of support for each others' products.
Apparently, Amazon doesn't carry Google's products on its website and also doesn't allow Prime Video as a streaming option for its Chromecast products. The firm states "given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon.”
What this ultimately means is that starting today, Echo Show owners will no longer be able to enjoy YouTube content and FireTV users will no longer have access to the content after January 1.

-Deano I really don't think it's that big of a deal for Amazon. I wouldn't bother watching YouTube on my TV anyway...
Still tho its a bit of a "D**K" move tbh... & really doesn't help out anyone at all.
