Search engines are easy to detect and filter out though, they have very distinct UA strings.

So that would mean it should be counted the same as a visit from a regular user, no? Unless YT tries to detect and filter out NP visits specifically.

I won’t buy Apple hardware as long as they keep being absolute dicks in the tech and app world. It’s a shame really, because they build awesome devices, but I would feel bad everytime I use them.

Also they are much more restricted in many aspects (e.g. sideloading!), so it would be a downgrade for me.
