Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.

Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

Is this post paid marketing for Brave browser?

tbh one only uses the youtube app if they're either ignorant or desperate

Or they pay for YT Premium. I watch YouTube in multiple places on various devices. There's no real solution that works very easily for me, particularly with watching it on TV.

I'll agree with that lol. Although I do pay for a YouTube premium, I like YT.music algorithm better than Spotify and not having ads on videos is just a nice bonus. So I do use yt app, as well as newpipe and smarttubenext because yt app is missing some features.

What is wrong with the app?

I think the YouTube app is really nice with revanced patches applied. What am I ignorant of?

People realising apps are just websites in wrappers.

Vele apps hebben geen bestaansrecht, maar op een bepaald moment in het verleden zijn ontwikkelaars hun websites toch als apps gaan beginnen verpakken.

I use Brave and Nord VPN. Am I going to die?
