Is a Fire TV Stick worth it if I only watch YouTube?

Typical prices (approximate): Built-in YouTube app: $0

Usually, no—a Fire TV Stick is only worth it for YouTube if your current TV does not already have a good YouTube app, or if that app is slow, unsupported, or annoying to use.

If all you watch is YouTube, first check whether your TV already has YouTube built in. If it works well, save the money. If your TV is older or laggy, a Fire TV Stick can be a cheap way to make YouTube smoother and easier to access from the remote. Just know that Fire TV’s home screen is built around Amazon’s interface and recommendations, so it may feel like extra clutter if you only want one app.
