  They killed support for the first gen Chromecast and the YouTube “app” has been broken for 3+ years. They’ll just stop supporting it one day and you’ll have to buy a new one.

  That’s the only reason I had to replace my previous 2 steaming devices.

  The streaming backend got updated and the app in my device no longer supported it. And there was no updated app made available for that device.
