Users are unimpressed, eager to toss devices if test sticks.

        I assume being Apple that it’s not possible to sideload apps not supported on the app store? In particular I’d like to use some kind of a SmartTube or other youtube app that is ad free

          That is correct.

          But which do you want? Privacy or convenience? No one makes a streaming device that does both.
