weird permissions for all video downloader APKs

[kofman13]

im trying to find the perfect video downloader apps for downloading youtube videos and other things. ive tried a couple of really popular APKs like tubemate and snapvid, they plus others all ask really suspicious permissions such as: modify system settings, make phonecalls/reroute outgoing calls, obtain gps location, approximate network location, and other crazy stuff. is there any app out there thats popular and doesnt have these permissions? if all it's doing is downloading videos why does it need all these permissions? and lots of people use tubemate and snapvid, how are so many people agreeing to these permissions?
