It's YouTube. Anytime somebody monetized their video(s).
It stops anybody with a tablet or iPhone, iPad... From watching the video(s).
It doesn't matter if you are using the app, if your in desktop mode, mobile mode... Nothing. It doesn't matter.
YouTube states its the uploaders option whither they want the mobile crowd to watch their videos or not, but really the uploader just wants the video to be monetized, and this just happens to be the unfortunate repercussion of their choice. It is terrible YouTube did their users like that. They shouldn't of even made that an option to exclude the mobile crowd by monetizing. All you can do is blog about it and inform as many people as you can. Maybe people will boycott and there will be a change. But really, I don't see that ever happening.
Maybe apple will install an update that doesn't allow tablets or phones to be recognized by YouTube as a tablet or phone... Whatever. I'm upset at all this. YouTube is the primary video website of the world. There really should be no problem.
But apple and google are the ones with beef toward each other... No wonder they would try and cause issues.
