Everyone is just trying to tell you that it’s a needlessly convoluted way of watching YouTube videos on desktop, and that there exists many better options to achieve the same end result. Do what works for you, I definitely have some weird workflows and hacky work-arounds too, but expect people to push back if you try to recommend it to others because it’s a pretty bad recommendation.

I don’t find one-click computer programs convoluted, and by installing an Android environment you have instant single-click access to apps you wouldn’t otherwise be able to use on a computer.
I do appreciate you admitting that bluestacks is not as difficult as you are pretending it is, but pretending that single click access and operation is convoluted is not much better.

Installing an emulator (and an app on that emulator) for something you can achieve more easily either with a native app or a website is already convoluted.
Doing so on a PC when the UI of the emulated app is meant for a mobile phone with touch controls and a fraction of the screen size of a desktop computer? Very convoluted.

You might want to make that statement personal, I don’t know many people who find install wizards or using a mouse as “convoluted” as you do.
