I'm fairly puzzled by my own reaction to this.

I'm indifferent to YouTube have frame-by-frame nanodata about me.

But as a Roku user, this snap shotting makes me very angry.

Maybe because much of what I watch on my TV via my Roku is content I own and stream from my personal server?

For me, I despise having different abstractions get crossed.

I expect my media app, ie. YouTube, to know what I watch from the media app. YouTube knows about YouTube.

My operating system, ie. Roku, should not know about what's happening inside a given app. ie. Roku does not know about YouTube.

When they start crossing layers, that greatly upsets me.
