I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

I can't say I'm familiar with that particular event. But I'm guessing there is a difference there in that iMessage is well, a messaging service. YouTube isn't, their videos are on public webpages.

All Freetube and company needs to do, if it comes to it, is find a way extract a video from a public webpage. There's a million ways to do that.

iMessage is not a public webpage, and so there is no real way around it unless you go through their api.
