Despite it being available for nearly three years, Apple has removed a popular alternative YouTube client —ProTube —from the App Store, allegedly bowing to pressure by Google.
Google, whoch owns YouTube, first asked Apple to pull ProTube over a year ago on the basis that it violates the company’s terms of service, developer Jonas Gessner said in a blog post. Similar takedown requests were reportedly directed against other YouTube clients.
Eventually Google insisted that Gessner stop making ProTube a paid title and disable all of its signature features, such as background playback and an audio-only mode. This would’ve rendered the app useless versus the official YouTube client, but since ProTube’s arrival Google has launched YouTube Red, a service whoch includes some of ProTube’s features —but for a monthly fee.
