[21/*] So now I'm like, OK, no worries, I just log out of that user, and I log in as my user which does have my PSN. Nobody ever uses that user, but like, I do have it for me buying games. So now I'm super confident this is going to work!

[22/*] I go to the video apps menu again, and this time - I swear I am not making this up - it shows all the icons but they're just little spinny arrows, like it hasn't loaded yet, and then POOF - the screen goes black. Period. Done. Hard crash - so hard that it doesn't reboot.

[23/*] So now I have to kill the power to the PS4, because there's no other way to get it back on. Of course, if you do that, now the PS4 decides it needs to fsck, so, I get to sit there and wait for a few minutes while the little "checking the disk" bar trolls along.

[24/*] It finishes, and then I am presented with the offensive "you know, you should learn to power off devices properly" screen, which always enrages me because in my entire life I have never shut down a PS4 improperly. THAT SCREEN ONLY HAPPENS BECAUSE YOUR STUFF CRASHES, BRO.

[25/*] I get the thing back on, I get back to the apps, I click YouTube. You would think that would launch YouTube. Hahahahahahahhaha... very funny! What a sense of humor you have.

[26/*] No, of course not. Instead of launching YouTube, it brings up a dialog box telling me that I don't have _permission_ to run YouTube, because YouTube was downloaded by _another_ user of the PS4. This is a real dialog box that really opened. On a consumer device.

[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.

It's almost like we've all been here before.

Replying to @cmuratori
Just last week I had to install an already installed extension for Chrome because it was for a different user. Thankfully that was the only annoyance.
