He's posted before that Day 1 sales covered the cost the device itself, so a decent chuck of everything after that will have been pure profit. It was probably always doomed, what with YouTube being YouTube, so it doesn't look like he's too shaken up about it.
Juno for YouTube has been removed from the App Store

It kinda feels like this was calculated. He wasn’t doing much to truly improve or maintain it.
As someone who tried to use it, it was always buggy and made weird decisions that were not that thoughtful.
He was just trying to catch the possible wave of early adopters.

The television app by sandwich is also light years ahead of Juno. Juno is one of the only paid apps I have ever refunded it was so bad.

Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?
You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…

YSK: He’s not crazy about Voyager. Gives me mixed feelings about him, he could have done well giving it his blessing or doing Lemmy himself. I wanna like him but he keeps making terrible choices

I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.
