My Youtube Is Not Working.

Other music videos are inserting themselves into playlists under the guise of 'advertisements'. Not only that, the one that appeared today starts immediately with the F-bomb. Right in front of my baby daughter.

This occurred today 02/02/2021 at 11:30 UK time GMT.

In between play time, feed time, nap time etc. I use a 'Hey Bear' playlist for my 10 month old daughter while I work. Or 'Blues Clues', or some other similar play list (like 'Super Simple Songs'). She loves all this.

What neither of us love are the _very_ long interruptions during play time that are not advertisements, but have been inserted into the playtime as if they are. I'm talking about entire music videos five minutes long. I'm even talking about pitches for real estate or investments that are _an hour_ long. Heck, I've even more than once seen some cartoon floating meditating yak guy with new age music in the background who amused me for ten seconds until I saw the length of the 'advert' was an hour!

So while most of these are annoying, a line is absolutely needed when I suddenly get a woman prancing about inside a cube singing some poor effort at R&B by kicking off the lyrics with the F word in front of my very young kid, and while I'm working at home.

If I look at the 'WHY THIS AD?' info, Google tells me it's due to the time of day, the video I'm watching, and my location. This is bull. None of these three bits of information relate in the slightest to this music video. By the way, the video in question is YONAKA, Seize the Power.

"Woke up this morning
I feel so f***** important"

Thanks. Very empowering. Go you.

If you need adverts to subsidise your service, fine. But stop pushing propaganda, other people's agendas and other people's (unfiltered!) entire music videos into our playlists. My daughter loves the video playlists we've got for her but I can't risk subjecting her to this rubbish any longer.

They are infringing on my right to self expression, as in the following link https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/check/art2b.html
I would like to make a complaint and possibly take legal action. They are blocking me from all comments or erasing all of my comments regarding things going on in our world. Every human has a right to free speech and it should not be infringed upon due to corruption and fake pandemics.

Due to not trusting Google I have revoked as many permissions as I can possibly revoke in regard to targeting advertising and use of my data by Google and now since I have done said action, unsafe and disgusting t adverts are being shown to me and my teenage family members on YouTube. The screenshot I included is the worst one so far and I am beyond belief youtube and Google have allowed filth like that.

Today, Jan.29th 2021, having the choice to "rent" or "buy" a video on youTube, I have bought the video, but don't seem to be able to download it. To my understanding, to "buy" means to own it, so as I now own a copy of this video, I would like to have it on my computer !

Hello, I'm writing in because I love using YouTube, however nearly every ad that shows is ironically animal agriculture, Sonnys BBQ or McDonalds Big Mac, or some other GARBAGE planet killing animal slaughtering commercials, and they are not pleasant for a house of vegans. I ask that someone somewhere address this connection between people who love animals and people who love to eat them. I truly am disgusted by most of the ads I see then using YouTube. Thank you for the consideration and I hope to see an improvement in my YouTube experience.

I was watching a video on YouTube by Dr. Tom Stanton only to have it banned in the middle of the video. The man is an MD providing objective information related to Covid "vaccines" that I find useful in my risk assessment. I would appreciate you not substituting your ideologically motivated judgement which pales in significance on all levels relative to my own for making decisions about my heath and safety. I suggest you adhere to the principle enshrine in the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. If you do not know what that is I suggest reading it.

On 1/20/2021, upon trying to log into youtube (through our bookmarks),
the page appears, however, nothing can be clicked on to open, not even the google login. Nothing worked on the page. [ie.- videos, google log in, help,
history, settings, contact us... nothing]

On 1/21/2021, [ repeat of all of the above ], (+)...
So I attempted to see what needed to be 'fixed', to get the youtube videos to play. Noticed Google icon was not my icon, [signaling Google is not logged into.] * However, my side bar worked [page up/page down].
Noticing that the Google was not logged into. Clicked it, it did nothing. So I went directly to google and logged in.
Then, went back to youtube, and now my Google log in icon shows, logged in. However, still nothing can be clicked on, to open anything on the youtube home page.
*However, now clicking on the Google icon, it now opens a dropbox, that sends you in circles, with still no real solution. (just a giant incompetent circle jerk of inappropriate solutions).
*Very unprofessional of Google, (the know all, of all things, thing. (Google). to do that in their 'solutions help box'.

* Another note : this computer, and all its components : mouse, screen, speakers, keyboard, works just fine anywhere else on the web. -
(So it is "Not" in need of any of the many Google fix solutions, in the drop box that was given, on the Youtube homepage, Nor, any of the totally different solutions offered directly on the Google page)-
This not merely just a Youtube [misinformation issue], it is also a Google [misinformation issue.]

I am appalled at the outright assault on white culture and media consumers exhibited by recent YouTube ad campaigns. If white people or companies ran similar ads titled "White Voices" saying "We got to have more white stuff!" the poster or advertiser would be immediately censored, demonetized, and removed. Shame on YouTube for allowing such racial inequality and reverse racism!

I've recently received threatening messages after making comments on the above channel. However. They dissapeared. I am sending copies of how long I've been on hold with YouTube when you probably could've gotten a shot but they are now deleted.

Absolute blatant censorship of a multi millionaire businessman explaining his meeting with the aides of the president and the feed was cut mid way through.
Disgusting abuse of your platform of which ive seen porn violence and alt left /far left propaganda displayed for months with no care for its viewership.
I will be reporting this to every platform with a copy as i was recording this live .

I have recently seen a double standard from youtube concerning race equality and cencorship, the blatant attemp to demonize a good man, the blatant attemp to cover up the election fraud, and I believe I would be punished for creating an advert called white voices. Youtube offered a great service until now. Also if people believe they can trust muslims becouse you say they are peaceful then you are to blame for putting them in a dangerous state of ignorance. Anything unethical or immoral take it down anything else let it be and get back to what makes youtube great people sharing skills tallents and ideas

You Tube is a wonderful resource for entertainment and learning.

However, over the last year I have found the frequency and number of adverts appearing before and during video content has increased considerably.

It has crossed the Rubicon for me and reached the point where I just don't enjoy You Tube so much anymore.

I guess there must be many users looking to migrate to less ad-heavy platforms when they develop, which they likely will as nothing stays the same for long.

There is an option only on the youtube app for the Roku tv, not sure if it's for the Roku stick but, it allows you to log into a guest account. This guest account can not be monitored like a regular account where you restrict access or block certain channels. You can access youtube without logging into an account. This makes it very difficult to monitor a child who accesses it. Yes I could change it to one of the accounts I have but my son, who is 6, knows how to go in and change it to the guest account. I know that I have spoken to many other parents who feel the same way. Also the kids youtube doesn't have content he likes which is gear towards older children. Not inappropriate, vulgarly or racy content just older content that allows for science experiments or languages from users that you can't get on the kids youtube.

Please reinstate Alex Belfield and his channel the voice of reason he Adheres to the rules But we Are All Entitled To The Freedom Of Free speech Alex Has Over 200k subscribers and Was Extremley Popular You will be Upsetting Alot of people by removing His Channel
I expect You to rectify this immediately Put Him back On Do yourselves a favour

I'm not ok with the current censorship based on the reasons you state.
You allow opposing views to conservatives with no worries. There's something very wrong with not allowing Conservative Americans to view what they want all the while allowing opposing views to go unobstructed and unchallenged.
So I will go get information and entertainment elsewhere.
I'm sicked by the current state of censorship.

Thank you for taking the Time to read We need censorship but be wise and don't be foolish hiding in between The who there's only(misinformation)YouTube by deleting, videos, users, comments, is YouTube wanting 2 control human ideas, thoughts, voice, information is power. Why did this YouTuber video got deleted among other YouTubers who speak truth?

By removing videos you are denying freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. The term "freedom of expression" is sometimes used synonymously but includes any act of seeking, receiving, and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.

It is not only my opinion that channels like A Call For An Uprising are treated unfavorably because of the content creator's religious beliefs. He is being demonetized, given strikes and threatened with termination of his account more than once under the pretext that he did not conform to the terms of use of YouTube. Despite that A Call For An Uprising is not using hate speech in any form, he is constantly treated like an offender. It has gotten to a point that Christian channels cannot voice their opinion if it goes counter to what is on the mainstream media. That is a clear violation of the The First Amendment to the United States Constitution where is written that we all have the right to disagree, express our opinion in a respectful manner and exercise our religion freely. At the same time YouTube seems to not make an issue of when channels mock Christianity on a regular basis (like the mentally confused person who runs "Jesus Christ"). Everybody can see the double standard YouTube is using. My request is simple: YouTube, leave A Call For An Uprising and similar Christian channels be!

I'm writing to complain about YouTube's decision to remove Talk Radio's YouTube channel. Talk Radio offered mainstream & entirely reasonable questioning of the current 'lockdown" orthodoxy towards the current covid 19 pandemic. YouTube's removal of the channel will only feed the conspiracy theorists' suspicion that the current situation is a global hoax. It also reveals an arrogance in Youtube's attitude - opposition to the current approach to covid is supported by many top scientists. YouTube's decision is anti- free speech, anti-science and further undermines the organisation's standing in the eyes of many if its users.
