Personally I resent the fact that [Google] has done everything in their power as a company to make it so I cannot stream [YouTube] to my [Fire Stick].

That alone has tarnished my opinion of the company.

They had a nice YouTube app, too. Then, just took it away. Even has casting from the YouTube iOS app.

If a competitor removed your products from their store and banned your applications/services from running on their product would you not consider doing the same?

It's amazing how once Google retaliated Amazon finally allows chromecast on their store (but no streaming!)

It's just a pissing match.

Too bad our services vanish from thin air when it happens, instead of any actual resolution.
