[27/*] So it provides a link to the PlayStation Store, and tells me, if _I_ want to run YouTube, well then I am going to have to download it _again_. Now that may sound ridiculous to you, but we're only getting started.

[28/*] I click OK, sure, bring me to the PlayStation Store, and I go and I click on the "Download" button below the YouTube logo. Surely that will do the trick.

[29/*] Nope. Time for dialog box #2. This dialog box lets me know - and I double swear I am not making a single step of this process up - This dialog box lets me know that I cannot download YouTube because... wait for it... IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DOWNLOADED ON THIS PS4.

[30/*] THERE IS LITERALLY A DIALOG BOX TELLING YOU THAT YOU CANNOT RUN A PROGRAM ON THE PS4 THAT YOU DIDN'T DOWNLOAD YOURSELF, AND THEN WHEN YOU TRY TO DOWNLOAD IT YOURSELF, IT TELLS YOU IT'S ALREADY DOWNLOADED. This is a thing that actually exists in the real world.

[31/*] But thank god for small favors, dear reader, because for whatever reason, after that second dialog box, the "download" button magically changes into a "start" button, and when I click the "start" button, it launches YouTube!!!!

[32/*] Now remember - I literally haven't actually accomplished _a single thing_ a this point. Everything you just read was just me _trying to get back to the YouTube app as a different PS4 user_. That's ALL I WAS DOING.

[33/*] So I'm finally in the YouTube app again. I click on Sign In. I go through the process. I hit "next" and... IT WORKS!!! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I am logged in to YouTube with YouTube Premium on my PS4! Oh joyous day. I can now watch Mikey Chen and RLM with no commercials.

[34/*] And so now you might think, ah, the end of the saga. Nope. Google had one more surprise up their sleeve, just to put the turd cherry on top of this poop sundae.

[35/*] I come upstairs to answer some emails. The YouTube Family screen is still on my computer. I look at it. And it says:pic.twitter.com/LtaFyFRG7j

[36/*] That's right folks. "Foo". My "Next Family Home" apparently has one "group of devices" - whatever that is - called simply, "Foo".

[37/*] I can't click on it. It's literally just an icon that says "Foo". It's not active in any way. I can't remove it. I can't add a new one. I just have one "group of devices", and that group is called "Foo", and if I don't like it, well, I guess that's my problem?

[38/*] And that is apparently the level of quality you can expect from the most popular video site on the most popular console, from two companies whose combined market cap is _two trillion dollars_. That's the experience they were 100% comfortable with.

[39/*] PS. I totally forgot! PSN also sent me a receipt for $0.00, and thanked me for my "purchase" of "YouTube (Application)".
