Hey,
Do you guys think YouTube will create a messaging app?

So rather than a play/pause video. When a YouTube video is sent via messages you can scrub, view videos profile, see related videos, comments etc. all in the messaging app.

YouTube has been quite slow with these features. Like no PiP etc.

I understand they want people always in the app and in the YouTube ecosystem.

But I think it actually has the opposite intended effect and discourages people to use YouTube on their iPad when doing other tasks.

So maybe they won't have a messaging app which sucks. As I think YouTube has so many areas it needs to improve, things they can add to the app that would improve UX dramatically but they've been stagnating the last 18 months.
