YouTube now dominates the living room

Weird because I still associate YT with mobile form factors, but they've been pressing hard on TV because that's where they can continue to grow -- and it's now become their primary viewing device

Wonder how this impacts their product focus

i can’t see this reflected in the quality of their tvOS app at all, so probably just a blip on the radar

it's okay at best, but it's buggy as hell and in terms of UX it has nothing on Apple TV+ or Netflix (or even indie stuff like Infuse

considering how much money Google makes off of YT, it would make sense to make a world-class app for tvOS, yet here we are...

their whole suite of apps is a giant (butt)crack. yt music shines though. it's not perfect, but it's just nice to use and look at

They're spread thing across devices and formats, cracks are bound to show somewhere
