YouTube Adverts interrupting a concert of Handle's Messiah... Why?

Adverts interrupting this concert of Handle's Messiah is a serious absence of good judgement, sensitivity and taste. They were not present when I first listened to this excellent music making. Why were they added later ?

Interrupting this very remarkable performance of this religious work, with advertisements, is so appallingly crass as to be offensive.

Please can you remove all the advertisements ?

Handel: Messiah
Karen Clift (soprano), Catherine Robbin (mezzo), Bruce Fowler (tenor), Victor Ledbetter (baritone)
Boston Baroque Orchestra, Martin Pearlman

YouTube Fraudulent videos and promotions - under the guise of ripple labs

I was watching a "live" Ripple broadcast (I supposed) and there was a website attached running a promotion and I interacted after participating in the chat. I sent arp to the site and of course realized later that there were issues that Ripple had with YouTube over their company being used fraudulently to take money from actual Ripple customers.

I'm watching YET ANOTHER one of those videos tonight so WHY in the technocracy you are running...can you not see this fraud and take it down? They use sites like www.xrp-promo.me and event2021 .

You are not a novice company and can easily detect such criminals. They are not just putting out false information. They are actually taking XRP from committed investors.

It's obviously continuing, but you would immediately delete or take down "hate speech" or other ideologically opposed words or videos!

So what's keeping you from taking these down? Maybe there's a conflict of interest or maybe collaboration. Who knows.
I am disgusted with your obvious lack of fairness across the board. I look forward to launching my own opinions on this on YouTube soon and let's see how quickly you respond then

Desired outcome: I want these CROOKS cancelled and banned....and I want my XRP BACK

YouTube Lanmo 100 jou videos and other terrorists

This armed gang is terrorizing Haitians yet has countless videos on you tube. My nephew, his wife and two children were kidnapped for ransom last month. Other rival Haitian gangs are copying his actions and terrorizing people and uploading videos. An entire country is becoming lawless and you tube has become a place to show off. PLEASE find a way to censor any videos from Haïti (or elsewhere) where people are shown with their face covered and armed unless an official reporting of riots or protests. I am keeping a copy of this email and am expecting accountability from YouTube. I expect a reply from you. This is a life and death situation.

Desired outcome: Replying to me AND taking down terrorist’s videos

YouTube youtube channel censorship

You Tube has engaged in selective censorship. It also the most outrageous, insultive content, and even terrible comments. BUT, if you a user of YouTube dares to fire back at the abuser, they get removed. Not the hateful content, or even the hateful comment to the content. No, they go after the person who is rightfully angry and dares to insult the otiginal content. Just like Facebook, YouTube censorship is one-sided.

YouTube Video streaming service

I pay for ad free streaming but timed ads are ruining my viewing. I have tried logging out and back in again... there are still adverts.
I am watching on a Samsung Q65 television. I have watched YouTube since I last had to remove my payment to stop adverts showing in the stream. This company doesn't seem to care about paying customers. I will happily stop payment if I am forced to watch adverts.

Desired outcome: Get rid of the ads on Premium service.

YouTube Luke's Golden Syrup advertising

You are showing an advert that is promoting the use of suger by smothering a child's food with it.
1. Promoting sugar when 67% of men and 60% of women are overweight or obese- and doing so using children- is morally reprehensible.
2. Nowhere during the advertisement does it make clear this product is liquid sugar.
This is misleading. It should be made clear this is 100% sugar and not a 'yummy' calorie free sweetened syrup.

Desired outcome: Remove the advertising

YouTube you tube

I am a long time YouTube fan - I have loved the idea of YouTube since the inception. After a while, I stopped watching as much due to the constant intrusive adds. It was not fun to watch anymore - and frustrating. Then I learned about YouTubeRed and / Premium and gladly joined. My love was back!
Now, however, video content producers are making adds in their video's - embedded in the content. So you are watching a video and bam - long intrusive add. The video's are monetized, yeah? So they are getting paid. Some are getting RICH. They don't need the adds. It feels like this trend is ruining YouTube. The content is suffering.

Desired outcome: YouTube shoudl make it policy that any video that has an in video add is not monetized. That might discourage the trend

YouTube Removing and blocking access to content

They are blocking any content that goes against their political views, whether it is factual or not. They claim to support freedom of ideas, but block and remove anything that does not align with their views. Over numerous occasions, I have been directed to content of an inflammatory or inappropriate nature. When I search for fraud in the election, I should be able to get results related to that. Not bogus re-iterations of what the established media has decided is fact. Fact is NOT a feeling. They do NOT apply the same litmus test to ideas from the other side of the spectrum. Bogus claims about historical figures are never questioned.. and I have NEVER seen one of these blocked.
YouTube should be censured and required to stop blocking content or remove ANY claims to being a free and open venue. They should be required to put a disclaimer prominently on their homepage that says if you put ANYTHING on their website that relates negatively to the election or liberal agenda, that they will block it, and that they STRONGLY support active oppression of ideas. They should REMOVE any reference to fair evaluation of content based on "Facts" as they do not accept facts they don't agree with.

Desired outcome: Censure and requirement to post disclaimer to fairness PROMINENTLY on their homepage

YouTube Video/privacy violation

There's a video on YouTube my neighbor posted while being questioned by the FBI. In the video he names me as a friend. There is no way to complain on YouTube. The click, report violation does nothing but take you to incessant links that only lead you to other YouTube help articles. There is absolutely no way to contact YouTube. Of course the first thing I did was ask the neighbor to delete my name, he declined. It is way past time big tech answered to its users.

Desired outcome: My name is only 5 seconds of the video, (17 mins long). I want my name removed.

https://youtu.be/dALuWGoHTT4 My name is used in this video without permission. I asked the guy who posted it to delete it, he refused. Using YouTube's Report Violation is useless. It takes you to a series of YouTube Help links and doesn't even allow you to file a complaint. The video is about a neighbor being interviewed by the FBI, no sane person would want their name on that. YouTube needs to be responsive to those who view their site not just the ones who post video.

About YouTube

Screenshot YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing platform that has revolutionized the way people consume and share video content. It was founded in 2005 by three former PayPal employees and was later acquired by Google in 2006. Since then, it has grown to become the second largest search engine in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users.

The platform allows users to upload, share, and view videos on a wide range of topics, from music and entertainment to education and DIY tutorials. It has become a hub for creators, influencers, and brands to connect with their audiences and build communities around their content.

One of the key features of YouTube is its algorithm, which uses machine learning to recommend videos to users based on their viewing history and interests. This has made it easier for users to discover new content and for creators to reach new audiences.

YouTube has also become a major source of revenue for creators, with the platform offering various monetization options such as ads, sponsorships, and merchandise sales. This has led to the rise of a new generation of content creators who have turned their passion into a full-time career.

In recent years, YouTube has faced criticism for its handling of controversial content and its impact on mental health and well-being. However, the platform has taken steps to address these issues, such as implementing stricter community guidelines and providing resources for users to manage their screen time.

Overall, YouTube has had a profound impact on the way we consume and share video content, and it continues to be a major player in the digital landscape.
