focused on sharing to Google+, and advertising, and all the unnecessary crap
Too much presumptuousness. Android Youtube app with Google+, advertising and unnecessary crap is very well designed. Live video streams etc. are quite useful.
Bingo. The YouTube app on iOS is a pale shadow of the one on Android. Often my 3-year-old daughter has to come running for my help because the iOS YouTube has inexplicably decided to not do anything. Often this takes the form of multiple nonsensical pop-up alerts about access to the video being denied or other nonsense.
If you want to know what YouTube by Google will look like on the iPad, you need only pick up a Nexus 7 and look at it.
