YouTube Account was suspended indefinitely for no reason

My YouTube account was suspended indefinitely for no reason, furthermore YouTube staff were too cowardly to even respond to a request for more information as to why I was banned. Stinks of [censored]ing soy milk being spilt if you ask me, as we all know that social media companies are full to the brim of child like pretenders.

Desired outcome: An official apology, full re-instatement of my account and an acknowledgement that you will repremand the staff behind this nonsense.

Same here. They claimed I had "violated their stupid community standards BUT would not say WHICH one nor would they tell me WHICH comment they didn't like NOR would they tell me WHO complained. I think their complaint process is so automated, y9u will never get a valid answer. All-in-all, VERY unprofessional.

Blocking Talk Radio is an irresponsible and ill-judged decisions. You will lose many customers and create many political opponents if you do not reverse this course of action promptly.

This is a channel that features many sitting members of parliament, cabinet members, distinguished journalists and experts. They are ofcom regulated, so I suggest you take action based on Ofcom decisions not your own perogative. Failing this, Youtube should not consider itself a platform, it should become a publisher and open itself up to legal recourse for actions like these.

Desired outcome: Reinstate Talk Radio channel. Explain yourselves!

YouTube Content of my account.

My carefully saved videos of several years have disappeared from my library. My subscriptions are visible, but no library. I am an artist and had saved tutorials and other videos. Also, I had signed up for Premium and was enjoying the YouTube music, and that membership also disappeared. I can sign in and see an account, but it is not the same as the account I had before. I changed my password just before this happened, and I wonder if there is a duplicate account. The newer password does not show that, however. I want my library back! I can't believe that this happened! What should I do? Thanks! Gale McKiddy

Desired outcome: Reinstate my YouTube library!

YouTube YouTube Ads

I try to watch innocent, family friendly channels with my children only to be exposed to vile, disgusting, reprobate transvestites pedophiles molesting the mind of me and my children. These people need to be put out of their misery by the government implementing Leviticus 20:13 and normal people with natural affection need to be given relief. I would FEAR greatly if I not one of these freaks and am responsible for getting this filthy content in front of the eyes of innocent children. God might just break your teeth out with the other pedophiles.

Desired outcome: Leviticus 20:13

YouTube Withdrawal of anna Brees channel

Good morning

Like many others I was shocked at the removal of the news channel run by former BBC reporter ( like myself ) anna Brees, for covering protests in London over the lockdown.

This is censorship of the worst kind.

Free speech is vital to our society.

There is no doubt social media is now as powerful as MSM so.

If serious qualified reporters like anna cannot broadcast coverage of such protests, or carry interviews with those who are critical of such key issues, then we are going down a dangerous road.

Desired outcome: Re-instate. Review your procedures.

YouTube entire playlist removed

23 Dec 2020
i.[protected]@gmail.com

First of all I am not a content creator, never have been and have no plant to be. Thus I do not and have not ever uploaded any video.
I thus am a YouTube viewer only, and use it daily for many years without a single issue.
Yesterday suddenly out of now where without any warning, I suddenly have an email from YouTube stating that somehow I have broken the community guidelines and have a strike. For some video in a playlist I have had for many many years. And that they have permanently deleted the entire playlist for whatever the offending content was bookmarked in there.
This playlist was created for many many years and I have no back up or even idea of what I had in there. And YouTube has removed it without any forethought to this.
Even though I have no idea what the content is, I understand they have policies and even they may change over time and some thing or more could be in there that either I have not viewed in full and thus do not even know is an issue or perhaps is now in breach. And am more than happy to have removed it myself if flagged or if they did so directly. But it is wholly disproportionate and completely unnecessary to delete the entire playlist.
Also the content is not mine as I do not upload anything, so even the removal of the content of the platform from whoever uploaded it would have deleted it from the playlist automatically, and even if YouTube felt a strike was needed then that was fine.

Thus I am kindly asking, as a long term YouTube user who put trust in YouTube to please restore the playlist or at least provide an archive copy so I am able to manually review what content is in there, over time and restore safely once done.

Thank you.

Desired outcome: restore or provide an archive of my deleted playlist (less anything YT considers a problem)

YouTube Spreading false information

As you can see in the pictures YouTube is claiming this video which is first of all not about election fraud at all is labeled saying Biden won the EC vote but your own link says other wise. This is just down right scummy to try and twist the truth. This is not your place! If you have any integrity at all you would remove this so called EC victory until it is official. I am not associated with this channel in any way I am just a viewer tired of you guys lying.

YouTube Shadowbanning

I'm giving you fair warning, continue shadow banning channels such as "Liberal Hivemind" and I will cancel my premium subscription. Your influence in politics and personal decisions are unwanted and infiltrate the wonderful gift of freedom and expression. There are 17 of my family willing to cancel our sub if you do not desist your political aims. Then we will share our experiences with others and advise accordingly ...your choice.
I expect a reply or, well, normal stuff, you'll lose massively.
Thanks for the memories, ...I expect.

YouTube Youtube is acting up

I noticed in the last few weeks youtube started acting up in various ways.

1. I will have a playlist playing and I always turn on the loop mode at the top of the playlist. But a couple of videos in the loop will turn itself off and when it gets to the last song on the playlist the playlist doesn't loop like I want it to.

2. I would look something up, click on a video, and whether it has been a few seconds or minutes I will click on the minimizing screen/video player and youtube constantly reloads itself and go back to the home screen. This is without me clicking the home screen button. And the mini video player may or may not still be in the corner, this varies.

3. When I am playing a video youtube will again constantly reload itself. Starting the video over.

4. After a video I am watching gets to the last second of the video it will start playing other videos despite the autoplay being turned off.

I have used youtube for years using my chromebook and these problems have never occurred until a few weeks ago.I have updated my computer a few times so my computer isnt old.

All of these are sooo annoying. Fix it!

YouTube Stimulus Programs

I watch several Stimulus programs on YouTube. One is LALATE. He has been saying Great News day after day after day since he went on YouTube. Nothing about a Stimulus he has talked about has ever come true. He is not the only one! Many others are doing the same thing. They are giving hope to those of us that could really use a Stimulus Update, especially a Stimulus Check to all of us in need. All it does is lead to extreme disappointment. I am not for preventing Freedom of Speach. I am against lies people say just to keep people watching their show so they can make more money through YouTube or by other means. I am 70 years old and on S.S. I am also a disabled Veteran. I could really use a Stimulus Check as well as many, many others. I also know there are many that need it more than I do. All I want is actual, true information not lies to keep us watching their programs so they can make money. Bob Payne

YouTube Removing videos that refer to voter fraud?

Why are you removing videos that have any content concerning election or voter fraud? Are you afraid to allow such "heinous" content when in reality, election fraud has actually been proven. Are your puppet masters, the Democrats (and their minion, Google), so "powerful" that they can dictate what you allow or do not allow? Are you so "sold" on Biden or Harris, as our President, that you will bow to their will - even when their election has "not" been verified or certified by the electoral college or Congress?

YouTube Videos views

O whom it may concern,

Someone has been going into www.brisrecords.com videos of trevor brisport and another artist by the name of blackan I and removing views. This started sunday 12/6/2020 to current. Every morning after 7 am someone has been going in and targeting brisrecords.com videos views. These views are legit views and I have been monitoring them very closely. Each video's views that have been removed is approximately 60 views and this is done daily in the morning on each video. Now I also have subscribers who claimed they have been subscribing to brisrecords.com videos and those subscriptions have not been showing up. I have been monitoring the views very closely and it appears that someone deliberately is targeting brisrecords videos. The night before the morning the videos total are up and, in the morning, approximately 60 or more views are removed from each video. Can you please let us know what is going on? And who is removing our video views and why the subscriptions are not going through? Thank you in advance for getting back to me expeditiously.

YouTube Censorship

YouTube has announced that it will censor anything regarding the 2020 election fraud because it has decided that it is a fact that no election fraud happened. YouTube has announced that it can "check facts" by inquiring about an issue and then its results from that inquiry becomes a fact. I claim that no single source on earth can "check facts" and then declare their opinion to be a universal truth. It does not matter if only one person agrees with you or a billion people agree with you, facts are not established by the number of people who agree with your prospective. Nobody can claim election fraud is fact or fantasy based on another person agrees with them. Election fraud can happen with or without people agreeing that it happened. I find YouTube attempt to censor truth for the entire world to be utterly meritless. Because of this unbelievable arrogant attitude and tremendous lack of common sense I will not use any YouTube products and refuse to publish anything on any of their platforms. The truth is that YouTube deserves to go bankrupt and you can "fact check" my opinion all you want but your research cannot change an opinion. YouTube needs to realize that actual truth is arrived at from a much larger data base than it uses.

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.
