Amazon kicked this off, delisting Chromecast and Apple TVs, and lying about it.

Googles reason was "Amazon’s implementation of YouTube on the Echo Show violates our terms of service, creating a broken user experience."

I don't pretend to know what that broken user experience was.. ads blocked? No auto play next? No subscriber button? But anything along those lines would be a poor deal for YouTube. Im not a fan of either as they both engage in illegal anti-competitive behavior I just feel it isn't one sided in this case.

This started even before the echo and home devices. it started at least as far back as the chromecast and firetv stick. Possibly with devices before that too.
