Removing the spyware threat one google app at a time
I'm ignorant in this whole ad-based society, but aren't people supposed to make money off ads if others click on them?
Probably, for those YouTube partners not, but still, I tend to think everybody has an adblocker nowadays, and if not, who would click on ads?
Youtube always removes videos and user accounts without any explanation, so for once it happened to them. I find Youtube managed in a very unfriendly manner and I think it's time for someone else to step in and take their position.
While I won't miss it on my iphone, I like the youtube app on my ipad. I hope what replaces it won't be as bad as the new music app. I can't stand using that.
Google are working on their own app, so if you prefer to access You Tube through an app, then you will be able to do this when Google releases their own You Tube app.
Personally I find You Tube through Safari way better too be honest
I hope Google are too working on their own Maps app, has there is no Street View on Apple's new Maps app in iOS 6 from what I've read

There will be, its mentioned on the first page of this topic that Google are working on their own app for iOS devices

The only thing Google related that I still use is the search engine and I never login to anything Google. I don't even use Gmail anymore because of how Google makes it's money.
I use iCloud mail and I trust Apple services more than I do Google.
Just another sign of Apple closing down their ecosystem really, it's a shame that they aren't more open about some things.
I'd have said that it was weird that youtube had it's own built-in app when other services did not and this was just apple putting the youtube app in the app store where it should probably belong. But at the same time they are adding more facebook/twitter functionality to iOS6, so i would be inclined to say that Apple just hate Google!?

How does Apple's license ending to include this app in the OS relate to Apple clsoing down the ecosystem?
Completely fine with the YouTube app disappearing - the web app is so much better - both in use and video quality.
However i'm seriously worried about losing Google Maps.
The app is good and Google still provide the best mapping in the UK.
I'm not convinced Apple will do a good job for the UK - I believe the maps will be out of date and won't include Streetview which I use all the time.
I hope Google work on a dedicated Maps app through the store as their web version is unusable in its current form and doesnt work when you have no signal (unlike the dedicated app)

I suppose it doesn't, however I imagine if they wanted to renew the license they could apple are just trying to remove as much of the google integrated content on iOS
There's a difference between being evil and not being a charitable organisation willing to see your billions of dollars of investment lose fantastic amounts of money down a big firey pit.
Without Google's lawyers and lobbyists to bail it out, YouTube would have gone bankrupt under the weight of it's legal fees years ago.
Ah, good one. I completely forgot about that one. It was tucked away and hidden in my Utilities folder.
No, I can't say that actually use that one a daily basis.
I'd have to agree of that one being downloadable app as well.
Apple's own maps and now... Apple branded new iYou ! broadcast yourself on iOS. Disclaimer: to see the videos you need to have an Apple ID and a Apple hardware. A signed in blood contract saying you hate Google and a will to spend more than you can on a yearly rarely updated hardware with no too much to offer.
Keep killing the Brand, Cook! Keep it up!

Apple were probably being ***** and wouldn't let Google modify the app so that's why it is now on the app store
