YouTube Complaint letter on banning zemedkun bekele on youtube page

10/10/2020

ESUBALEW DIRES
BAHIR DAR, ETHIOPIA
[protected]@gmail.com

Subject: Complaint letter on banning Zemedkun Bekele on YouTube page
Dear Sir
Please accept my complaint letter of banning Zemedkun Bekele on YouTube page.

Zemedkun Bekele is a decent, modest and peace loving Ethiopian citizen. He preaches about unity, love, peace and humanity with great courage. He descended from his country due to issues related with freedom of expression during the former TPLF Lead Ethiopian government.

Zemedkun is a person who has been forced to leave his country in order to escape persecution. He was detained in Kaliti prison. He has been expelled and barred from his native country, typically for political and religious views.

Currently, he is a refugee in Germany and serves as a watch dog of the people of Ethiopia, exercising the right to speech based on factual data, write relentlessly through facebook, telegram and YouTube pages. He is a member of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church - Christian. He condemns unfair acts and shouts out laud regardless of ethnicity, religion, and political views.

Hence, I strongly protest You Tube ban over this iconic person - Zemedkub Bekele. Terminating on his YouTube page is honestly unfair and being egotistic. I urge you to be fair enough by reopening his YouTube page. He's truly a freedom fighter and great patriot to the people of Ethiopia as a whole and Christians & Orthodox Tewahedo Church. He never utter even a single word/hate speech against any mankind.

YouTube Purchased movies

To whom it may concerns
I purchased 55 ! movies over the last few years. Approximately 40+ of them are not available to me anymore- they just disappeared from my channel " JackandLilly".
I spent at least $ 800- $ 1000 on these movies. Last night I wanted to watch one of them- " Casino Royale"- it was nowhere to be found.
Could you please fix this for me?
Many thanks,
Pia Doricic

YouTube Videos and ads and lack of response to feedback

I had been using youtube quite happily for a long time but lately i have been getting increasingly upset and frustrated for the following reasons:
1. they give you an option to not see a certain channel again
2. you are supposed to be able to delete ads and not see them again.
This doesnt happen
-I can understand where you tube may feel the need to post political ads at this point but when I ask them to stay deleted they keep coming back; again and again. If you tube says they value feedback why do they ignore the multiple efforts i have made to stop seeing political ads which are upsetting, sometimes hateful, and a violation of my sense of ethics and integrity.
i have tried many ways to streamline my interests so that recommendations are more consistent with my needs
- i dont want trump showing up again and again
-please respond before i just stop using at all

Good luck with that I got thrown off commenting on You Tube because all those racst whites on there can say what they want and if you are black then you better not say nothing back voicing your opinion! You Tube don't need to have any (Political, Racist, Racism, or Issues That Effect Black People On You Tube if we as Black people Can not be real and speak our minds and truths oh I forgot just like (Trump) they are not interested in here any truths from Black People unless they can use you like Trump tries to do for Black People but in a few days this will be over but it is going to take 40 years to undue all the damages that (Trump & His Corrupt Evil Family) has done to this country!

YouTube Condom advertisement

Unfortunately no screenshot available for this complaint. YouTube has shifted their advertisements to clips which pop up when watching a clip meant for minors. These appear when kids are watching a videoclip and suddenly an advertisement for condoms appear. It is mind boggling how you keep up with these sex ads shown to kids. Disgusting! We are talking about kids! Stop this nonsense!

Hello Nillss!

Thank you for writing about your concerns about YouTube advertisements. Advertisements on YouTube are based on your personal ad profile and you are seeing adverts for condoms because you had been looking up similar content. If this is your childrens computer, I would advise you to ask them what they have been doing on the computer when you were away!

I hope this clears things up!

First of all the computers are blocked concerning sex. We as parents can check them. Also the computers are in plain sight downstairs in the living room. You are rude and lying! Secondly, our kids do not log in with Gmail as we have found a way around this to still watch videos and cannot be followed by you creeps. So it doesn't clear things up. You think that by shaming us this way we will stop our comments. Not going to happen. It has nothing to do with what we or our kids watch, the sex ads keep appearing because YouTube inserts them there. F.y.i creepy person, our kids are still small and never alone in the house. Comments will keep coming your way.

YouTube Sex advertising

Again youtube thinks they should make money with sex ads. It will disappear for a while but you can be certain sex ads will reappear. This is how youtube makes money. Children are exposed to this. There are even minors appearing in these ads!
Youtube accept your responsibility! Take down the damaging sex ads! We will keep exposing you and will keep you accountable!

YouTube Political ads

The Political ads are obnoxious and they need to stop. Same ads over and over again. Each video I select, the first thing that I see is the same political ad or one political ad promoting the same individual . Often it will Interrupt the content of the video to show the same ad again. No, no not occasionally every video, I watch. It appears to me that YouTube has a political agenda and are using mind control techniques on me. You must think that l don't know what your trying to do. Wrong, just the opposite, your making YouTube watching unbearable. Your right it will change my mind to look for other content elsewhere. Now I'm finding other venues. My complaint is YouTube controls the ads, you know there directed audience and you bombard them with these ridiculous political ads. I'm turned off when Hollywood and actors and actresses petal a political agenda. Now I don't watch movies with actors or actresses that have a public political agenda. Their opinion is no better or worse than mine so they shouldn't use their status to Sway their agenda on others.
Stop the insanity, thank you.

YouTube Prohibition of free speech!

Youtube is chasing channels with information content that address free thinking and speech. It is an attack on human rights. They have already closed one channel and are about to close another channel and maybe even do me a favor since I only have work with this garbage site with garbage management. It is to let them know that I am not sleeping like the rest of the sheep and if They close an account on one site, I get two others on another site and expose youtube as the profound genocidal Deep state they are!

YouTube Not allowing a presidential press secretary briefing for the United States of America

I tried to watch Kaleigh McEnany give a press briefing today, August 10, 2020, and it was not available on YouTube. I was shocked. This is public information about the country's government and it is not available to be aired on YouTube? I am beginning to wonder if the company has in fact become an editor and is manipulating information. Please allow us to see content and make our own decisions about what we hear.

YouTube Trying to figure out why they will not allow my autistic son to have a youtube page.

Did not think you could discriminant against someone for having a neurological disability. I have tried to reach out to YouTube but there is no way to reach them. I just would like to know what if the grounds to qualify for YouTube. Is there a certain sex, race, religious or political group he needs to say he is for in order to access their site and for them to stop telling him he is not allowed on their site.

YouTube Super-chats

Hi,

After several months watching live streams broadcast from the USA, I was intrigued by the possibility of sending donations in the form of 'super-chats'.

Most Youtubers will not encourage donations but appreciate them, but will make a point of commenting directly to the people via their live stream.
I was watching one live stream in the USA for 2 hours, and they earnt excess of $500.00 in 2 hours of their 8 hour live stream. This particular YouTuber streams 4 times a week, so they could clearly earn in excess of $2000.00 per month. What angers me the most is that a lot of these Youtubers work for a living and the donations allegedly only cover the running costs. This is clearly a false statement, so I contacted this Youtuber directly and to my surprise was totally honest with me. He explained the donations contribute towards the purchase of equipment and mobile phone costs, but at the same time explained the remainder was supporting his family with hospital bills, car repair costs and household bills.

Another Youtuber, Spokesmayne, does however encourage people to send donations by offering a special effect every time a super-chat has been received.

These YouTubers need to be totally honest with their subscribers, otherwise they are being conned into donating money blind.

The reason for my email is to highlight this to you and request further investigation is acted upon. However, I am being told that YouTube receive 40% commission for all super-chats. If that is true, my emails would unsurprisingly be pointless.

If you would like to discuss further, I would be happy to discuss further.
Thanks

Philip

YouTube Litsolar powerbank advertised on youtube

There were adverts for LitSolar power banks on YouTube! Looked like a good product with its own channel. I went on their website, litsolar.com and made an order for 3 units for a total discounted price of $80 for shipping to the UK. This was made on 21 May 2020.

I received an email confirming my order followed by another message informing me that I would receive a tracking number within 3-7 days as there is a delay for worldwide deliveries. I received 2 subsequent emails apologizing for the tardiness in delivering the products. Since then, they have not responded to any of my emails and has turned out that their website is no longer working.

I am now demanding YouTube repay me the $80 spent I spent. It was a scam product advertised on their platform. It's almost impossible to talk to a human being about this and when I filed a complaint, they replied telling me "We were unable to confirm fraudulent activity on the purchases. Often, these purchases were made by a family member or friend."

If they are going to allow scammers to advertise with them, then they should be held responsible when people get conned out of their money!

YouTube Suppressing intelligent speech which is right of center

Stefan Molyneux is one of the most intelligent, well educated, and rational voices in the English speaking world. Banning him is nothing more morally acceptable than Nazi book burning.
I don't agree with everything he says, but even the parts that bother me cannot truthfully be called hate speech or incitement to violence. It's also true that most of the parts that make me somewhat uncomfortable are impossible to dispute, which is probably why they make me uncomfortable.

If Google and Youtube are going to persist in being nothing more than tools of the Left, whose purpose is nothing more than brainwashing the public, then it needs to be reined in.
And Stefan Molyneux needs to be reinstated immediately.

Sincerely,
Conrad Cloetta D.D.S

YouTube Political bias

Please discontinue removing videos relative to political views contrary to that of YouTube owners, management or progressive democrats. You delete videos of medical doctors contending the media narrative regarding Covid19 is false. You delete videos critical of BLM. It would be appreciated were YouTube to allow an open platform for use by all rather than those narratives deemed politically acceptable.

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.
