YouTube
Reviews and Complaints

When YouTube first started in 2005, it was a whole different ball game compared to what it is today in 2021. Over the years, a lot has changed, but not necessarily for the better. Back in the day, YouTube was a place where people could have fun and enjoy themselves. Nowadays, it's all about money, profit, and advertisements. There's a total lack of creativity, unlike the good old times. Instead of promoting freedom of expression, YouTube has become obsessed with copyright and deleting comments that contain URLs linking to other sites. On some browsers, it's even impossible to reply properly to another user by name because of the total lack of an instant reply option altogether.

Posting hashtags in comments is also a big issue on YouTube these days. One can even get banned for spamming if they post too many hashtags or links in their comments! YouTube doesn't let users add links to other sites, even if many movies and TV shows are missing from YouTube, all due to copyright, as well as community guidelines. Some users tend to falsely tag their videos as suitable for children, although in fact, they're not, simply to avoid their videos being flooded with ads.

If you ask me, YouTube should ban all those users who only troll the site, uploading hours of nothing at all, hidden behind the fake title of some full movie. Two hours of absolutely nothing! What a total waste of time, not to mention the memory hosted on YouTube servers. There are so many trolls on YouTube these days, with so-called full movies that are nowhere to be found, all thanks to this ridiculous YouTube copyright policy. Also, the community guidelines make absolutely no sense these days. I'm under the impression that everything is unacceptable to post on YouTube these days! People get a lot of false copyright claims on their videos all the time from various music companies, or movie companies, or TV broadcasters, even those that nobody has ever heard of, such as the mysterious yet omnipresent Lasso Group, yet no one ever received a single strike on their account for trolling the site! Even if being reported for trolling, or spamming, by so many users, some spam or troll accounts on YouTube are never deleted! Go figure! Looks like YouTube doesn't care much about trolls and spammers anymore!

The comment section is the worst! People use it to post negative comments all the time, and to spam the site with some of the most absurd comments you can imagine! Some of them even re-post the same comment multiple times, without any repercussions from YouTube whatsoever! Although it's against the general rules of YouTube, many users post comments only to hurt other people, or to make someone look bad. Comments keep disappearing all the time, for no apparent reason, much like the likes that one gets for their positive comments. YouTube obviously doesn't want people to interact with each other on the platform, afraid that it might become a social media, instead of just a video sharing platform! That's why replying to somebody's comment is being heavily discouraged by YouTube itself.

Personally, I think YouTube is already a global social media, and a perfect replacement for a defunct Google Plus, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. The site allows users to upload public executions, torture, and other gore content, yet for some reason, any sexually explicit content gets deleted immediately! YouTube is a very cold and hostile place now. There's no fun on YouTube anymore. Everyone only cares about the money these days!

YouTube is discriminating against all those small channels with less than 1000 subscribers because one can't even start a new poll on YouTube these days unless they already have 1000 subscribers to the channel. Additionally, the subscriber count on some YouTube channels may vary significantly from day to day. One could lose plenty of subscribers literally overnight, all due to a single video, or some difference of opinion posted in the form of a comment! Also, YouTube keeps decreasing the total subscriber count by removing a lot of users without any channel content whatsoever from the list of subscribers. Meaning one can no longer know for sure just how many subscribers they may have this time tomorrow. Many users only subscribe to some channels only to downvote the videos and to post negative comments.

What can one say about all sorts of phobia existing on YouTube these days, or this constant clash of opinion between the opposite political views?! Even the most absurd things can occur, such as massive dislike of certain videos, like some Christmas carol, for example, from users who don't share the same belief system. Why else would someone ever be listening to a Christmas carol, unless they're actually Christians themselves?!? People nowadays use this YouTube comment section for personal insults and for posting a lot of very offensive comments full of hate speech against other religions, nations, countries, or even someone's political views, race, gender, or sexual orientation. That's not acceptable on any site, especially not on YouTube!

On top of all that, YouTube is full of unwanted and completely unrelated ads. Way too many ads, if you ask me! Sometimes, the ads altogether are even longer than the video itself! One has to pay extra to get the YouTube Premium, so they could get rid of all those annoying ads! It's almost impossible these days for any small creator to ever reach the number of 100 subscribers, much less the 1000 required for monetization.

Basically, YouTube became a synonym for Vevo, with some of the biggest channels out there designed only for some online streaming, as well as running personal vlogs, yet the average creator on YouTube is completely helpless and left outside altogether. How can anyone make a fanvid these days when all the music, as well as pictures, or videos, is already copyright?!? Fanvids without music have absolutely no sense. Music is the key element of every single fanvid. I remember the time when users could make a remake of some popular song, and then the video would go viral in the matter of hours. Today, making such a remake would only result in getting a copyright strike, or even a channel deletion! Not all users can afford to pay the enormous royalty fees to some copyright owners just so they can upload some full movie, music video, or some full episode of a sitcom, or some other TV show. That's why you won't find any of those on YouTube, so may I suggest that you go and find it yourself someplace else. None of the most popular TV shows, or any blockbuster movie is available on YouTube! To watch it, one has to look for it elsewhere.

YouTube was supposed to be a place of fun, not profit, but most users only care about the money! Search results and suggestions often show only the videos from some big channels. The other huge problem on YouTube is the YouTube app, especially the mobile one, which is no match to Google's high standards, although Google actually owns YouTube now. They should make more effort to create a much better YouTube app for everyone.

YouTube should finally do something about all those problems mentioned in this review. Getting an email on which one can actually reach YouTube personnel, instead of some bot, would be a good start. Let me remind you that so far there's no way to send a simple message or a complaint to YouTube directly. For a global platform such as YouTube, it's a big disadvantage these days. Speaking of a global site, most users are unaware that the majority of uploaded content is literally unavailable worldwide, due to YouTube copyright policy, as well as this whole YouTube region restriction. Some content is unavailable in certain countries, while some videos may even be blocked all over the world! That's not how a global site should look like! When one uploads something to YouTube, they expect it to be visible to everyone, all around the globe, which is not always the case. Sometimes, two copyright holders are in dispute, so one could get a copyright claim from both parties involved, making it impossible to upload certain music videos, movies, or TV shows!

What YouTube needs right now are some Vevo-like channels made by all those major movie companies to upload their own products: full movies, and full episodes of all sitcoms and other TV shows for people to watch for free. There's not so many full movies you can find on YouTube, and finding some full episode of some TV show, or some sitcom, is literally mission impossible, because of YouTube copyright policy which makes no sense to anybody, much like those very confusing community guidelines.

My conclusion is quite simple: YouTube needs some improvement soon, or more users would quit the site and go someplace else, to some other similar site with less confusing ground rules and simply absurd guidelines, and without any more obstacles in expanding the boundaries of one's creativity.

While watching videos on YouTube (mostly rebroadcasts of conservative news programs and podcasts) our viewing is abruptly terminated and replaced with amateur video footage of Asian people preparing food and a variety of other tasks. The video footage is of unknown origin, but always shows Asian people doing various tasks. It feels like some entity is hijacking my viewing of certain programs they don't like, and replacing them with homegrown videos. The situation started at least 5-6 months ago and has increased in frequency to the point that it now happens every couple days. This is extremely annoying and nefarious in my opinion. Please try to resolve this situation soonest.

I signed up for youtube premium last month and have received two separate charges. I thought my monthly bill would be around $78.00 per month for premium. No I am seeing the $12.83 charge. What is this for? I am not going to pay over $90 a month for this service.

Please reply to this email.

Thank you.

I am 88-yr. old DEAF person.

I am noting that your captioning keeps disappearing during live programming. I've checked other channels with this same results.

I've had to back up the programming a coupla seconds and see captioning restored for next few minutes and then they disappear again repeatedly.

I've had to go to antenna programming to be able to track my live entertainment.

Your captioning process is having problems, please fix!

My sister is watching my son tonight and is on kids youtube and scary movie ad comes on where a little girl turns into a demon right in front of my four year old child. This has been a consistent problem for years and there is no way to skip these ads while on KIDS. What is the point of being on kids if you are going to expose my children repeatedly to this? We have already banned youtube in our home for years because I don't want that crap around my four young children. even my oldest is only ten. I had to stop letting my oldest watch when he was three because of this same issue. ON KIDS. Please adjust your content in ads to be age appropriate on what is supposed to be the 'safe' platform of your service. You are traumatizing our children with no way to skip these things unsuitable for preschoolers.

Hello,

I can't seem to comment on YouTube anymore.

Can someone please remove the commenting pause to protect the community?

I didn't do anything wrong. These two that I have commented on don't respond back and they are ones that cause it. They made me suffer and I am upset.

They wasted my years too. They could have prevented it from getting worse, but I don't see it. I don't get what they are doing at all. It's not normal.

They wanted to see me and they ignored me and left me suffering and still. So I got upset.

I didn't do anything wrong and please do not make me look incorrect as people have for this game. With that game is: people ramble and you can hear the sweepstakes too plus theft and going to lie about the person. I don't get it at all and why are people so unwell and mean.

Please do not make me look incorrect as you may not see the whole thing and understand why.

Nothing is wrong with me.

With that game people have tried to get the term mental on my records so I can't be helped.

I don't have a mental illness. I don't have mental health.

My health feels damage of what my older sister, niece, attorneys, jobs, sweepstakes / Publishers Clearing house did to me for no reason for years and that game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those two do delete my comments and have left ones that don't make sense.

My comments can be long like a letter. I needed help and I don't understand why are they like this?

The first one; I am the only one on there of what it seems. It's like my account. Why can't I write what I feel?

I saw him when I was in rooms and I was kidnapped and attorneys were there that I had in that year. These randoms people were harming me for my own things from what I hear.

Michael Bock and Hiedi Plummer have said doomsday, semi, semination. They don't make any sense at all and still.

The other one. The neighbor next door 26181 Buscador, Mission Viejo, CA 92692

is messing with me and with a game of theft and lies. They are rambling the game for me to hear it outside. I am inside my computer office room trying to get money to fix issues that these people caused in my life for years and still. Clicking on the sweepstakes. I still did not get any help plus my things returned too, since 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and still. I have tried the police, they don't respond and help for years and still. The police did mess with me with that game too and not kept their words. Instead accuse me, assault me, handcuffed me and kidnapped me, lie and lie about me. One of them wanted to put mental on my records, so I can't get help.

You can hear sweepstakes. That neighbor next door involves their kid basically to ramble outside for me to hear and I don't get it at all. That kid is disgusting like the parents. They even have my dog / Shiba Inu / Kai and I don't get it at all. No one helps me return anything and return my dog / Shiba Inu / Kai.

My older sister, niece, attorneys, jobs, sweepstakes / Publishers Clearing House made me stuck in this situation and made me that poor for no reason for years. Made me not able to do much and made me not able to live still. Even the police, neighbors next door, random people are messing with me too with that game. The neighbor next door and police have said they can see me through the computer too, which I don't get how as I have no Webcam or any camera, I think on my computer. That doesn't make sense.

For this person; Ryan Reynolds.

I was asking him /Ryan if he was next door on 7-4-2023 as I don't get it. It was dark. Yet I don't think it is, but then something isn't right.

I think he is messing with me and I don't understand this. I think some videos on his account are about me, but I am not sure.

I have asked questions and I have said I needed help. I don't see help and any response for years and still. I don't understand why they are like this at all as I did nothing wrong at all.

I saw him at Walmart as like a worker for one day, I think. He was dressed in black with a hat and glasses. He was saying bad lines but I think for a game.

https://www.youtube.com/@VancityReynolds

Please do not put things on my records please / incorrectly about me. That game is unwell. I am that tired. It never stops with this abuse. I don't get it at all.

These two gentlemen wanted to see me.

When I comment to them; they don't respond at all for years. They wouldn't even bring me two cans as one of my toes started to turn a little black. It's rude plus I was in pain and they don't help me, when I have no money too and still. All I do is keep clicking on the sweepstakes asking for help. Still nothing.

I don't understand why they don't want to spend time with me and get to know me or check to see if I was ok. Nothing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I am not allowed to comment anymore.

Can someone please send me their home mailing address and email address instead please?

I have asked for that, but they don't give it to me at all, but ignore me, which I don't understand this. I even place my home address and my email address on the comments.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How is what I am doing a violation, compared to seeing people murdering animals, assaulting animals, slaughtering animals, sex online, abuse, trafficking, food trafficking. etc on Youtube?

How come those don't have violations? How come those are able to be shown though?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need real help too. These attorneys, court, older sister won't stop taking my rights away too. I didn't do anything wrong. I am innocent.

I have tried attorneys, legal aid. Nothing works. I have made complaints to the State Bar of California, but they want to lie and close all the complaints for that game plus make me look incorrect. I am innocent and I did nothing wrong. I don't get why people are doing this to me at all.

I am stuck and have no real money to get help too. They cause me to be in this situation and be stuck for years.

I have asked the police, but they don't respond to fix the issues of what I see.

These attorneys and older sister are like I think misinforming the courts and doing whatever they want and making it one sided the case. It makes no sense and that wasn't what my case is as I wanted help.

It was supposed to be about the abuse of what my older sister and niece did to me and stolen from me and stolen in the house too.

These attorneys that I had were messing with me and the case and changing it into something else, which is Mieko Sanson's Trust and Will.

I was confused how to get help and still and they made it like putting that Trust and will will help with my case, but my statements of what happened to me are there. I don't see it. I have told them to stop with this case before the laptop trials.

I also heard backlash and I don't get it. They make no sense awarding my older sister, when she and her daughter caused the issues to start with.

I have told them / attorneys to stop for years with this case and remove all the documents as that isn't my case, but they won't listen and continue to process documents like I don't have rights. They ignore me for years and still and it makes no sense at all.

This case has been since 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and still.

This is one that I wrote below. It's little of it:

Can someone please remove this entire case as this is endangering me and taking my years away and they are ones that made me suffer and made me that poor for no reason: Sanson VS Sanson #30-2019-[protected]-CU-OR-CJC?

I don't have money for anything. I can't get an attorney. I tried legal aid. It's not really free. The attorney / Roger Naghash that I had won't get off and sign off too. He and Nicole Naghash are unwell.

I have mailed proof with a flash drive that I taped on a letter to Superior Court of California of the County of Orange -700 W Civic Center Dr, Santa Ana, CA 92701 and California Court of Appeals 4th Appellate District Division 3 - 601 W Santa Ana Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92701 and they mailed it all back. They didn't really look at it, but wasted my time and money.

I have tried to find other attorneys and they don't seem to want to do my case and I don't understand why as I need real help and I have no money for what they caused.

I never heard my case, but roll calls and someone else's case being talked about. The attorneys, older sister plus courts don't make any sense and are taking my rights away. I have written letters and shown proof. It doesn't seem to stop and I don't understand this at all.

I believe that its completely preposterous that my one video that I put on you tube barred me from you tube completely. I had never put a video up in my life. So I tried to put one up and BOOM, I am barred. which I do not understand. I watch videos like that one everyday on you tube.

If there were actual infractions, I would like to know exactly which ones. I mean it was one video, if you had asked me to take it down I would have. But I wasn't even asked to do that. I was just barred. this is completely unfair. I really can't believe, with all the scams that are on you tube you all chose mine to bar? I find this very strange. I feel singled out. I mean have you seen some of the videos out there? Some people are teaching people to put ads like mine out! Those are the ones that should be barred. I just feel very singled out.

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with YouTube. I made a video sharing my experience with my military physician and giving some advice to folks who might have underlying conditions that could be affected by vaccines. I even told people to check out the CDC website for themselves and do their own research. But YouTube shut my video down and threatened to shut down my whole page permanently! They said I was spreading medical misinformation, but I don't see how that's possible when I was just sharing my own experience and telling people to do their own research.

It's really frustrating to see social media platforms like YouTube silencing people who are just trying to share their stories and help others. I mean, what's the harm in letting people share their experiences and opinions? It's not like we're trying to force anyone to do anything. We're just trying to inform people and give them the tools they need to make their own decisions.

And let's be real here, doctors aren't always the most trustworthy sources of information. I mean, sure, they're supposed to review your medical history and give you an informed opinion, but let's not forget that they're also getting kickbacks from big pharma. They're not exactly impartial, you know? That's why it's so important to do your own research and make your own decisions.

If you're curious about the COVID vaccine, I highly recommend checking out the CDC website. They have a ton of information on there about who's eligible to receive the vaccine, what's in it, and what the potential side effects are. And if you're still not sure, you can always talk to your doctor and ask them to explain things to you in more detail.

But whatever you do, don't let anyone silence you or tell you what to do. You have the right to make your own decisions about your health, and you should never be afraid to speak up and share your opinions. If you see someone trying to silence the truth or spread misinformation, report them to the appropriate authorities and let your voice be heard. After all, it's your life on the line.

This lady is really something else. I'm writing this review to let y'all know about this scammer before you give her any of your hard-earned cash. She ain't who she says she is. I just noticed that she turned off the comments on all her YouTube videos. Why? Because she's a fraud and she doesn't want anyone to call her out on it.

This woman is a typical thief. She'll take your money and give you nothing in return. She'll tell you to wait three months for the spell to work. Three months go by and you don't hear a peep from her. She ignores your emails like you don't even exist.

I emailed her recently and told her I was gonna get my money back through PayPal. I paid her $3,500 for a Commitment spell that was supposed to bring my man back. She tried to scare me by saying she'd hex me and mess me up for stealing from her. I laughed so hard! She can't do anything to me! She has no powers and can't do magic. End of story!

If you paid her through PayPal, you can get your money back within 6 months (that's 180 days). I checked the rules on this. I'm writing this to help others who have been scammed too. File a chargeback with PayPal.

Open up a case in your account and file a DISPUTE. Don't be scared that this Magical Witch has your money and you'll never get it back. She's just trying to scare you with her loud and crazy videos. It's all an act! She's just a wannabe Magical Witch. It's all BS!

This woman needs to be exposed for who she really is. She's not a Magical Witch. I don't care how many free spell videos she posts on YouTube. She's a fraud. Don't be afraid to ask for your money back. This woman is full of it. Good luck to everyone fighting for their money back and to anyone who's thinking about buying a spell from her - DON'T DO IT.

I love watching videos on YouTube! It's my go-to website for entertainment and learning new things. I've been using it for years and I've never had any major issues with it. However, sometimes the videos take a long time to load, especially if my internet connection is slow. But that's not really YouTube's fault, is it?

One thing I really appreciate about YouTube is the variety of content available. There are so many different channels and creators to choose from, so I can always find something that interests me. I love watching makeup tutorials, cooking videos, and funny cat videos. And if I want to learn something new, there are plenty of educational channels to choose from as well.

Of course, not everything on YouTube is great. There are some videos that are inappropriate or offensive, and it can be frustrating to come across them. But I think YouTube does a pretty good job of moderating content and removing anything that violates their policies.

Overall, I think YouTube is a great website and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for entertainment or information. It's easy to use and there's always something new to discover. Plus, it's free! So if you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? Give it a try and see what you think!

Well, let me tell you about YouTube. It's a website that's been around for a while now, and it's a place where you can find all sorts of videos. Some of them are funny, some of them are informative, and some of them are just plain weird. But that's what makes it so great - there's something for everyone.

Now, I will admit that the profile setup can be a bit of a pain. It seems like they're always changing things around, and sometimes it can be hard to find what you're looking for. And don't even get me started on the inbox button - why do they have to hide it like that? But overall, it's not too bad. If they just went back to the old profile setup from a few years ago, I'd be happy.

But there are some bigger issues with YouTube that I think need to be addressed. For one thing, it's owned by Google, which means that they're tracking everything you do on the site. And while they do have some privacy settings, they're pretty limited. So if you're someone who values your privacy, you might want to think twice before using YouTube.

Another problem is that Google is always trying to force its other products on you. For example, they recently made it so that you have to have a Google+ account in order to comment on videos. And even if you do have a Google+ account, the commenting system is a mess. Half the time, the comment box doesn't work, and the like/dislike and reply buttons are broken too.

And when you try to report these issues to Google, they don't seem to care. They either ignore you completely or blame the problem on your equipment. It's frustrating, to say the least.

But despite all of these problems, I still find myself coming back to YouTube. There's just something about it that keeps me hooked. Maybe it's the endless supply of cat videos, or maybe it's the fact that I can learn how to fix my car or cook a new recipe just by watching a video. Whatever it is, I can't seem to quit it.

So in conclusion, YouTube has its flaws, but it's still a great place to waste some time. Just be aware of the privacy issues and the fact that Google is always trying to push its other products on you. And if you're having trouble with the commenting system, don't bother reporting it - just sit back and enjoy the videos.

I gotta tell ya, YouTube is the bomb! I mean, where else can you find all the latest music videos, funny cat videos, and even educational content all in one place? It's like a virtual playground for adults and kids alike.

I spend hours on YouTube every day, watching my favorite creators and discovering new ones. And let me tell you, there's something for everyone on this platform. Whether you're into makeup tutorials, gaming, or cooking, you'll find it all on YouTube.

One of the things I love most about YouTube is the community. You can connect with people from all over the world who share your interests and passions. And the comments section is always a lively place to be, with people sharing their thoughts and opinions on the latest videos.

Of course, like any platform, there are some downsides to YouTube. For one, there's a lot of spam and clickbait content out there that can be annoying to sift through. And sometimes, the algorithm can be a bit wonky, recommending videos that aren't really relevant to your interests.

But overall, I think YouTube is a fantastic platform that has revolutionized the way we consume and create content. And with new features like YouTube Shorts and YouTube TV, it's only getting better.

So if you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out YouTube. Just be prepared to lose track of time once you start watching!

YouTube used to be a place where creators could share their passions and interests with the world, without worrying too much about making money. It was a platform where quality content and personality shone through, regardless of the equipment or editing skills of the creator. However, as time went on, more and more creators became concerned about making money and earning ad revenue. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see creators complaining about getting demonetized and not getting paid for their hard work. Some creators even have multiple sources of income, such as Patreon subscribers and sponsors, yet they still complain about not earning enough money from their videos.

On YouTube's side, things aren't much better. They often demonetize videos from creators, yet still show ads on some of them, which seems unfair and hypocritical. It's almost as if they want to restrict how much ad revenue gets paid out. Additionally, YouTube has made it harder and harder for many individuals to get monetized, which is a shame because everyone deserves a chance to earn money for their hard work.

To make matters worse, multi-million dollar corporations have started backing channels to advertise and get paid. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does make competition much harder for the average creator. It seems like only the largest creators get a voice about what content can be put on the site, which is never a good idea. Everyone deserves to have a voice on YouTube, as long as they're not threatening real violence or spreading obvious hate.

Despite all these issues, YouTube is still a great place to find entertainment. There are so many categories to choose from, including movies, commentary, podcasts, video games, and music. Whether you're looking for something uplifting and funny, or downright insulting, you're sure to find it on YouTube. The comments section is a mixed bag, just like the videos themselves. You never know what you're going to get, but that's part of the fun.

Overall, YouTube has its flaws, but it's still a valuable resource for anyone looking for entertainment or information. As long as you know what you're looking for, you're sure to find something that interests you. Just be prepared for the occasional demonetization and political drama.

I've been using YouTube for a long time now, and it's been a great platform for me to upload and stream my videos. I mostly upload videos of games and sudoku puzzles, but recently I had an idea that required me to live stream an active video. Unfortunately, I ran into some issues with the audio not syncing up with the video when I tried to stream it using my normal live stream.

I reached out to Xsplit for help, and they told me that YouTube was experiencing some problems and suggested that I use RTMP to get around the issue. I spent several days and weeks trying to learn how to use RTMP, but I wasn't able to make it work with Xsplit's RTMP. So, I decided to try an app called Restream, and I spent the next few days trying to get that to work.

One evening, while I was working on my computer, I received an email pop-up that said my channel had been terminated for repeated violations of the community guidelines. I was shocked because I hadn't been able to make Restream work for me, and as far as I knew, I hadn't streamed anything objectionable to YouTube. I thought I was just streaming a blank black screen.

I filed an appeal, but it's been a few weeks, and I haven't heard anything back from YouTube. I think it's only fair that they let me know what the objectionable material was so that I can correct it. But, unfortunately, YouTube has completely ignored me, and I haven't been able to get any information from them.

I'm frustrated with YouTube's lack of communication, and if I could, I would stop using Google services altogether. But, I'm too reliant on them for email and other services. I did cancel my YouTube premium subscription, though.

If you're using YouTube, be careful about what you upload or say because they can terminate your channel without warning or explanation. You can file an appeal, but based on my experience, it doesn't seem like they take them seriously. I'm still using YouTube, but on a different channel that doesn't have any subscribers yet. My terminated channel's subscribers are just getting a message that the channel has been terminated.

Youtub is like the Amazon of the internet, but it's free, so you can watch anything you want. There's something for everyone, whether you want to be entertained or informed. But sometimes, it can be a little too addictive. You can get sucked into the darker side of life, like watching animals being killed or criminals getting away with it. It can leave you feeling upset and poisoned, like you've been smoking psychological cigarettes.

And then there's the comments section. It's like a black hole that sucks you in and never lets you go. You learn nothing from it, and you get harassed on it. YouTube will delete your comments if they don't agree with them, but they'll let the crazy, hostile, and ignorant comments stay. People start a dialogue and then ignore your reply. You have to witness intelligent views being ignored while the dumbest views are admired. And your comments will only drown in thousands of others that have a shelf life of only an hour or so.

The comments section is an incredibly alienating experience. It makes you feel like you're all alone in the world. So, my advice is to stay away from it. Watch the higher levels of content without getting involved as a contributor. You'll end up getting informed and entertained without being poisoned by bottom feeders - or worse, becoming one yourself.

Hey there, let's talk about YouTube. You know, that website where you can watch all sorts of videos, from cute cat videos to informative tutorials. But what's the deal with all the controversy surrounding it lately? It seems like YouTube doesn't care about the well-being of its content creators as long as it doesn't affect their bottom line. And what about the fans who are affected by crimes on the platform? It's like YouTube turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to their cries for help.

I recently fell victim to a scam on a celebrity YouTuber's channel. They used a classic scam tactic to announce a surprise prize, and after exchanging several messages, I was asked to pay before receiving my winnings. I immediately suspected it was a scam and reported it to YouTube, but they didn't take any action. It's frustrating to see that YouTube doesn't seem to care about the safety and well-being of its users.

Should YouTube be held responsible for allowing unethical people to take advantage of ordinary fans? If they knew about a possible violation and didn't take action, then yes, they should be held accountable. It's not right to prioritize profits over people. It's like they're serving two masters, and that's not how it should be.

It's important to be honest, not to lie or cheat, and to keep your word. These are the things that matter in life. But it seems like some people and corporations have forgotten that. They're more concerned with their own gain than doing what's right. It's time for them to repent and turn away from evil.

In conclusion, YouTube needs to step up and take responsibility for the safety and well-being of its users. It's not enough to just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. We need to hold them accountable and demand change. Let's work together to make YouTube a safer and better place for everyone.

I love watching videos on YouTube! It's a great place to find all sorts of content, from funny cat videos to educational tutorials. I've been using YouTube for years and it's always been a reliable source of entertainment and information.

One thing I really appreciate about YouTube is how easy it is to find what you're looking for. The search function is simple and effective, and there are always plenty of videos to choose from. Whether you're interested in cooking, gaming, or makeup tutorials, you're sure to find something that suits your interests.

Another great thing about YouTube is the community. There are so many creators out there making amazing content, and it's always fun to discover new channels to follow. I've found some of my favorite YouTubers through recommendations from friends or by browsing the trending page.

Of course, like any platform, YouTube isn't perfect. There are some issues with copyright infringement and inappropriate content, but I think the company does a pretty good job of addressing these problems. They have strict guidelines in place to ensure that content is appropriate and legal, and they're constantly updating their policies to stay ahead of any potential issues.

Overall, I think YouTube is a fantastic resource and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for entertainment or information. Whether you're a casual viewer or a dedicated creator, there's something for everyone on this platform. So go ahead and start exploring - you never know what you might find!

sunday june 18th 2023 at roughly 8:41 PM youtube ripped me off.

I bought the super Mario bros. movie for $21.59 which was clearly advertised as the 4k version.

it says nowhere whatsoever on the purchase page that the HD streaming is only available for select devices and platforms; and there is also no other way to know that it will only play in 480p until you click the play button. because of "watching" the video (for all of 5 seconds) youtube no longer accepts refund requests. I want my money back because this product was falsely advertised.

When signing up for the You Tube Sunday NFL Ticket I unknowingly selected the Basic Plan on YouTube TV and not the You Tube version. I did not really need the Basic Plan. After finding on May 26, 2023 that I subscribed to pay $71.64 per month for the Basic Plan I cancelled it which also resulted in cancelling the NFL Sunday Ticket which on May 16, 2023 I paid sum of $274.50. Now I find not only do I lose the opportunity for the NFL Sunday ticket but I am unable to get a refund for either or both the moneys already paid for the service.

Hi,

Recently I clicked onto youtube only to have this pop up notice telling me I have violated the terms of agreement, citing hate speech, and if i keep doing it I will be banned from commenting, ( I do not have a channel that uploads any videos) . I checked the hate speech section, and did not find any where or any part of their terms that I had breached. I feel I'm being targeted for whatever reason, and I feel my right to free speech has been violated. That notice that presented on the page, was insulting, and very disrespectful. Therefore I'd like to have youtube investigated for harrasment and stalking.

I was on YouTube for 5 years. They never shared my videos with anyone when I was producing great works — wonderous sound and visual explorations featuring me singing my songs live.

YouTube, who find it acceptable to use artificial intelligence to censor and bully people, exterminated a video I'd made featuring two people with bikinis kissing.

I thought that was odd and waited out the entire week till I could begin posting videos again.

When the week was over I posted a socio-cultural montage set to a minor key minuet I'd written. It took up endless hours of my time. When I went to go check if YouTube had shared my work with anyone I saw that they'd exterminated my entire channel.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and each video took countless hours to make. Each one was accompanied by a poem and thumbnails featuring stills from the video which I spent countless hours drawing into.

All gone.

These selfish, disrespectful, soulless, heartless, selfish, lobotomizing arbiters of Truth and Good Taste had exterminated the only things which gave me a reason for living after both my parents passed away.

No amount of pleading could change the minds of the robots who reviewed my work and decided that people who'd directed their attention to stills compiled from my videos (without context) warranted having every single one exterminated, along with the thumbnails and poems.

You braindead, bootlicking, spineless hypocrites have cemented your disdain in the eyes of many who, like myself, helped build your platform in good faith. Only for you to turn it into the opposite of what it was originally conceived as: an alternative to Cable TV.

We don't want your Gordon Ramsey fluff pieces. We don't want your MSM, your CNN, your Fox, your Vice and other blabbing heads who shill for you.

We don't want your Truth.

And, guess what: we don't need you to take notes on the things we like so you could force-feed us corporate Entertainment and Music.

Nor do we like being treated like children.

You don't want disgusting God Made body parts to be seen on your platform? Then stick to [that]. Don't hold people up to your subjective evaluations bound to change with the unexpected lash from COPPA, the ADL and multinational corporations who stick their ads on our videos.

Didn't you make YouTubeKids? Great, keep the children there.

You don't think it's a little more than obnoxious when you ask grown adults, adults (you currently allowed to curse) what category their channel should be placed in ("not for Kids is it?", who should see our videos when we post them ("Is it for Kids? Yes or no?"), then to mark our videos as being 18-or-over (as if [that] wasn't enough information for you)

Perhaps you should have never kept a tally on those precious children you could care less for, then COPPA would stop breathing down your neck.

Sad you never figured out a way to maintain the integrity of your platform, even if it meant having some other form of revenue other than ads to carry it.

As it is, people are sick of being [treated] like children because you bait-and-switched us to join YouTube to 'express ourselves' (you took that away) and share (you took that away as well).

So as you pay shills to spout out your leftist propaganda, finance 'how to' videos, finance top twenty lists and official recipes (which will replace the unofficial recipes in due time) just remember that you're screwing the common people who welcomed your platform with open arms, as both fans and creators, because they wanted something they can call their own.

As it is, the site is run eerily similar to Communist China and is coming to resemble the very Cable TV networks we fled from in the first place.

2021 all over again.

And you continue to throttle independent Artists, Comedians, Musicians and commentators you'll eventually find a reason to ban.

Funny you have a problem with hate-speech when you and you dish it out so brutally yourself.

Funny you preach about inclusion when you're so Elitist.

We've had enough of you and your Global Gestapo stitching our mouths shut, placing us in the back of the bottom drawer and spontaneously dumping our dear creations into an incinerator.

Someday the common people will shine, Someday we'll entertain each other through Music, Poetry, Sketch Comedy and poetry again — not driven by money but by love, not driven by quantity but by quality.

Someday questions will asked without penalty or retribution, and it will [not] be on YouTube.

For now, wallow in your grotesque hell evoked by your vapid Silicon Monopoly — Fascistbook, Deaddit, LefTuube, Instasham and every bogus sex site known to man. These 'platforms' have become mere digital wastelands whose sole purpose is to engineer human behavior, brainwash people, demonize The Common and eulogize The Corporate.

People need liberation.

And, by the way, LefTube the 'complaints' you post? We know those are created by bots to simulate an overwhelming demand for censorship. But we don't want it.

We're adults. We can choose what to watch and not watch for ourselves.

Is this for children? Why are they here? You're doing something [very] wrong. And you will pay for it and pay for it dearly.
