Waiwaiwait. Hold the phone.

That’s GOOGLE’s decision, not Apple’s. This whole thread is a circle jerk about how Apple doesn’t let developers do what they want. It’s a general purpose computer and all that. This is an example of what happens when Apple doesn’t prevent developers from doing something anti-consumer.

FWIW iOS users could write a workaround if they were allowed to sideload, like Android users did: https://newpipe.net/

We can ignore that one, then, but my understanding was that the functionality has been disabled twice; first by Apple, and later by YouTube. I could be wrong, though, it's been almost 15 years.
