YouTube is attempting to get people to watch more videos Leanback. Basically it keeps playing full-screen clips until you tell it to stop.
YouTube calls it “effortless viewing” and users don’t have to select anything. The non-stop lineup is determined by a users, settings and preferences, including subscriptions and videos friends have recommended on Facebook. It is not really TV in the traditional sense. YouTube says it is “as easy as watching TV.” Maybe, but when it comes to watching TV, which for me is quite limited due to time constraints, I want to watch what I want to watch, not somebody else’s suggestions.
Leanback does seems to fit Google’s idea for Google TV. Not quite sure what to think at this point. Check it out and let me know what you think.
