Juno's tactic

Juno · B2C · YouTube app for Vision Pro

Build the YouTube app YouTube skipped for Vision Pro, in two weeks, for launch day

Still earns about $100 on some days months after launch

A week before Apple Vision Pro launched, YouTube said it would not ship an app. He reused Apollo's YouTube-embed code (YouTube's documented iframe embed player), styled it to look native to visionOS, and built it in one to two weeks for launch day. Priced at $5 one-time, reasoning that owners of a $3,000 headset can afford it. Approval came the night before launch.
