They've intentionally broken YouTube for a competitor before - Windows phone.
But this time, I'll assume a mistake because the potential anti trust fallout isn't worth it.
- tehlike 2y agoWell, yes, but I worked on developing Admob SDK for Windows Phone. So it's not as clear cut as you may have thought of. Breaking youtube might also be a resourcing issue still - like making sure they control the release process without having to allocate resources to make sure what they do work for windows phone too. Note: I no longer work at google.
- boristsr 2y agoThere was also claims that Microsoft ended their HTML engine over anticompetitive behavior from Google. https://mspoweruser.com/google-claims-edge-slowing-empty-div-was-just-a-bug/ https://mspoweruser.com/google-claims-edge-slowing-empty-div... These claims aren't isolated. I think it's a bad look for Google to repeatedly make mistakes when they are currently under multiple investigations for monopolistic behavior.
