Searching/Viewing/Subscribing/Downloading/Stripping/etc. YouTube on iOS
using a single free YouTube-like non-browser app with less intrusive
advertisements

This is a purposefully helpful suggestion to assist iOS users in
eliminating _some_ advertisements when watching YouTube videos using a free
youtube-clone-like app instead of YouTube Red payware or a web browser.

Thanks to a suggestion initially from Alan Baker, after about a day of
testing, I'd say these two apps appear to work _better_ than the YouTube
app (IMHO) if all you want is less intrusive advertising than the inline
(yellow stripe) kind of sometimes skippable ads that are prevalent when
watching videos using the default iOS YouTube app.

o MyTube - Stream and Play, by Nguyen Phuong
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mytube-stream-and-play/id964383263>

o Video Tube Music Video Player for YouTube by Yau You
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-tube-stream-play-watch/id566564331>

The overall goal, of course, is the kind of functionality & privacy that
Android already has had for years for free YouTube-Red open source clones
that allow Google-Account-free searching & watching & subscribing &
downloading & stripping YouTube videos/audios sans a Google Account
(Android doesn't _need_ a Google Acco0unt for anything if you know how to
use Android), all in one free app, with the user NEVER even once seeing any
kind of advertisement (inline or popup or otherwise), where the two apps
above are at least a small step in the right direction because their ads
are less intrusive, in many ways, from the inline (yellow stripe) Google
ads (IMHO).

If you have _better_ suggestions for iOS free ad free privacy-based
YouTube-Red clones, let everyone know what your suggestions are, and I'll
see if I can test them out for the team to benefit.
