Still that does not mean that the installation process for flash cannot be automated, and older gOS versions (except gOS 1.0), all had the flash player pre-installed!
At the very least I would expect the YouTube launcher give a warning what to do the first time you try to start it. The current situation is very user unfriendly, and gOS 1.0 got some very bad press for not making it easier to install flash, or having it pre-installed. And in that case it was actually -much- easier to get flash because Firefox opened a popup, saying as much as "click here to install flash", but even that was too problematic, because of the large message YouTube displays with (for Linux) bad advise to go to the Adobe site to download a flash player, if you tried that instead of just accepting the firefox proposal, because you failed to see the pop-up for example, then you were given install instructions on the Adobe site that did not work at all. In this case not even the Firefox popup is present, so this time its even more user unfriendly, so I expect more bad press about this problem.. I have never seen a "license" that I must accept when installing the flash plugin, and I doubt it will be asked when using the apt-get install method. Maybe Adobe has made their "conditions of use" stricter, but the situation as is, is unacceptable for the larger public, and at the very least instructions on what to do to get YouTube to work should be provided automatically, or trivially easy to find.
