Yes. once again, we know there was a backend change. The question is “why was it changed”? We already know Google manipulates YouTube for the explicit purpose of breaking Firefox, adblockers and yt-dlp. Who’s to say this is different? Certainly not anyone on GitLab.
Ah, I think I understand you a bit better. It’s true that the reason for the change is unclear, and it definitely could be malicious. However, that lack of clarity is what makes the OP article title misleading.
The article title claims the certainty that Google has blocked the Aurora store outright. I think you’ll agree that frequent errors with some successes is not the same as an intentional, simple block.
We may find that, yes, Google is intentionally blocking Aurora. It is just misleading to say so at this point.
The thing is, it’s already been answered. The conclusion was made based on reading the gitlab discussion. 🤷♂️ I didn’t read that myself but maybe try doing that if you’re curious. 😉🫶
The thing is, the conclusion is not going to be in any discussion outside of a Google internal chat or meeting. We know what happened, we don’t know why it happened, or what it means.
And what makes you think it’s the latter and not the former?
The linked gitlab discussion suggests it. There’s intermittent successes, and the particular errors align with a backend change.

Is this sealioning? 🫴🦋
LOL yes, anyone asking you questions you can’t answer about the shit you’re saying is “sealioning”.

Maybe a gorilla in the woods found a Google employees laptop and implemented the change. We will never know unless we go into the jungle.
…wat
The thing is, you asked what made them think that, and I told you it was already answered. 👍🦋
But I guess you were asking a rhetorical question all along? 🙂
And then I told you that it wasn’t answered. No, it was clearly not rhetorical.
Huh, weird.
