However, Google clearly mentions this treatment as its reason for pulling YouTube .

In a statement, Google said, "Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make (its) Prime Video available for Google Cast s, and last month stopped selling some of (our sister company) Nest's latest products.

"Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer ing YouTube on Echo Show and Fire TV," Google said. "We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon."

Amazon reacted to Google's statement with its own, "Google is setting a disappointing precedent by selectively blocking customer access to an open website."
