I bought one just to use at hotels because I’m on the road for work all the time. I had to ditch the fire stick because it won’t get past the captive portal screen to connect it to the hotel WiFi at most hotels.
Totally agree. I still run Amazon devices here in the UK but that’s only because I can’t get the onn box. But I won’t be buying anymore fire tv devices. For all the reasons you’ve said. Someone needed to say it.
Can you add apps to the firestick? Like IPTV etc etc... I have the very old MXq 4 android box & its on its way out... I was told to get the firestick 4k but im not sure.... Can you give me any advice on the above? 🙌
@@davekelly585 Yes. It needs to be jailbreaked. Then it's easy. Do a bit of research on here (YT). Plenty of channels tell you how to do it - it's quite straightforward.
Great to know! i wanted to buy something like this for my mothers tv. i would like something flexible and with a nice interface presentation, not cluttered down with ads and crap she wont use, whe will watch her movie and series collection locally. And that can it can have a Jellyfin and Plex client. What would you recommend? Cheers
I'm just waiting to see what amazon springs on us on prime. I'm done with fire devices although I will keep my 2 cubes until they won't work. My 2 shields and 2 onn pros will take care of business.
There was a time when the firestick reign as the best affordable streaming device for the novice,but no longer ,as you mention there are better devices out there now for the same price, bye bye firestick
Only makes sense for them move on from andriod at sum time..its what they do..they attach themselves to other services until they can springboard there own ..I'll continue to use the ones I have..but won't be purchasing anymore
I’ve had an Apple TV for years and I even bought a newer one last year. It’s the best thing ever for my homes. However, for travel I use my fire stick. And it’s ok. I can see the difference.
Pure greed! Amazon priced Firesticks to get as many people possible into streaming quickly and easily. And that strategy worked.... but then they got GREEDY. And you know, Fire products ARE NOT THAT GOOD compared to the competition for all the reasons you mentioned in this video. Thanks, 3M, for pointing them out.
Your reasons aren't that convincing not to buy a firetv. I just bought a 2023 firetv stick 4k. No wifi, ui lag or any other issues. Just a smooth experience. All my apps are mostly available on its appstore. It's controls my lg tv volume and power switch. I am just surprised to see how such a small device has absolutely no lag issues and plays 4k content easily.
It's almost 2025. Streaming sticks are of the past. No need for them anymore because TVs these days do the same, and also mirroring from phone to tv is as easy as tapping the icon on the corner. The only reason for a streaming stick is to hack it and watch things for free
You nailed every point 1 through 10 and the best one. It's number one, there are so much better devices out there. Especially the Onn 4k Pro pro. It is thee nac daddy @ present, Because of its quality and especially most especially, it's price

UA-cam, our nuts. Sorry, but Amazon, once 2 Squash. Third party applications. Only watch what they say. You can see and I don't like to be told, but I can see and what I can't see
None of the things you mentioned is a problem for me.
So what’s out there so we can buy it. You didn’t mention that
Im getting a google streamer instead

I have a Fire cube 3rd gen and a new 4k Max. No issues at all with these devices. I have a Nvidia Shield Pro in my closet for when Amazon goes crazy.

I agree to everything you said 3M thank you for your information I already dish out the fire sticks. No more 👎🏾

it reminds me of the era of the ipods
iPods became ipads
@@ShaquilleOatmeal94 firesticks became fireTvs
Like what?
❤ This video should have more likes!
There is an adapter available to connect the fire stick directly to your router.
Only makes sense for them move on from andriod at sum time..its what they do..they attach themselves to other services until they can springboard there own ..I'll continue to use the ones I have..but won't be purchasing anymore
Never have nor will I ever use Amazon TV. I’m happy with my TV
the onn box you have is the old pro the new one has a free tv button on the remote
Can you jailbreak the other devices?
As long as it’s an android
My fire stick is great for Luna
think I should be a shield or ive got formulizer pro x don't now how to set up any advice please
Get neither....ONN 4K PRO the way to go....Wayyyy cheaper than both boxes u mentioned. Smooth and Very Fast... Simple and Easy to set-up.
Nvidia shield is the way to go. You all are missing out!
He has a same video on why not to buy that one lol
Hopefully, once sales go down, they will go back to how it was before once it all happens
oh, I’ve already got one
Now what I'm i going to used to watch movies on my CRT TV
Thnk you Triple M.

micro usb should have been phased out on the firesticks.
Yes, agree
Not bad info. Thanks.
My only problem with Amazon Firestick is they only allow you to log into one account and once you log into it , you can’t log out that I can see.
Bro you are so picky, the fire tv stick is awesome and the Alexa on it is peak, I suggest you guys should buy! It's awesome!
I don’t have issues with my sticks
The had their RUN, Times UP, good bye
I literally JUST bought 2 fire sticks THIS WEEK 🤦🏾♀️
lol, still time to return them. Did you keep the box?

❤❤❤❤❤ no way I will not give up on my firestick I love my firestick here In the uk it is one in my book
U are NUTS !!! IF U could get hold of an Onn 4K pro. n Be able to customize it, you would become a believer.

You could literally get an Apple TV or a Google TV cause the fire stick isn’t very good
So, if not a Fire TV Stick, then which stick should I purchase.
The Onn 4k Pro. Check out my review pinned on my channel b
Thanks for the heads up, I'll watch your review and decide then. Keep up the good work. 👍
Onn 4K Pro is the way to go.
Let me guess. One is you can stream XBOX games. If so. Then you a SONY PONY.
Fire stick was always trash, only reason anyone ever got one was because you could rig it up for all the free channels and movies.
Always trash? No way, you're tripping.
@@Diogo85 even when they were mainstream they were horribly sluggish
@@jangorh They were never slow to me.
@@Diogo85same here
I have a Google TV! 4K
How is it? Can you sideload apps?
@@IAmAHeater lots of apps I use Sideload launcher to open them
Better than a firestick
👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Nah jit you tripping
He's not tripping. You can't use custom launchers and Amazon have blocked internal ADB debugging, which means you can no longer use Mouse Toggle.
