The original Chromecast might finally be reaching the end of the road

Some first-generation Chromecast units are disappearing from cast lists in apps like YouTube and HBO Max.

Other services, including Spotify and Disney+, still appear to support the older device for now.

Google ended official support in 2023, but compatibility now seems to be fading app by app.

There has been no public explanation yet from Google or HBO, suggesting the original Chromecast is nearing practical end of life.
