Amazon v. Google: soon no YouTube on Fire TV
The feud is heating up. Amazon will not allow sales of Google products. Now Amazon is dumping YouTube on some devices.

Quote:
“​We’ve been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other's products and services. But Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest's latest products. 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.”

Many are upset about this. I have a Chromecast and FireTV, so I won't lose YouTube access on my old, dumb TV.

Edit: I meant and of course should have stated that Google will not be supporting YouTube on some Amazon devices. I apologize for the error.
