Here's an article about Apple dropping support for youtube playback. Part of the reason I bought the AppleTV was because it had support for youtube playback. Then they announced it was going away, and then they yanked the support, and then they announced I could buy a new AppleTV to get back what I used to have.
Apple discontinued the Airport units, yes. but they still work. I have one here right now.
No, Apple did not drop support for YouTube playback. Google/YouTube stopped developing the app for the older versions. This was 100% on Google, not Apple. Not sure why you claimed that Apple did this when that is factually incorrect.
The thing is, I can rage against google for that but the net effect is the same: I can't trust that what I buy from Apple will stay. If Apple cared, they could have made the app themselves with their rife resources, but they are complacent with the bait and switch. I'm done with them and their other shady practices, from scanning photos for content, to logging peoples' locations, colluding to raise ebook prices, discriminating against android users in sms groups, software upgrades that slow down the device, pushing people to discard otherwise fine hardware, poor treatment of families with children, smoking voiding their warranties. I'm all done with them.
What model of airport do you have? I assume it's a newer one than mine. Here is evidence of their blase attitude toward obsoleting working equipment. They deliver a an implicit threat by saying:
"If your router is 6-7 years old or older, it is probably time to consider replacing the product, especially if you are interested in up to date security."
