There's bad skeuomorphism, and there's good skeuomorphism. In the end of the day, it's a personal option, and it really depends on the type of product/site/interface you're designing.
I've designed a mobile application that is skeuomorphic, with the intent to resemble the original one, being this one of the goals of my client, and I justify it well enough to make sense. Even though it's a skeumorph looking app, not really a skeuomorph interface.
But you must admit, skeuomorph isn't that bad when used properly and with caution. There are some good uses to it. And I don't like extremes, I'm not with the "Skeuomorph all the things" team, and neither with the "Skeuomorph is evil", because I believe there's a time and place to everything, but it must be used with obvious moderation.
overall, textures are much in use on the web nowadays. For once, because it gives more visual information to the website, it makes it richer visually. On the other hand, on the youtube case at least, it makes it easier on the eyes. I believe that if you use a bit of texture, it won't be such a strong colored element and will make the rest of the content blend better on top of the background.
