Reviews and Complaints

Hello. I have the location services disabled for the YouTube app on my Android device. However, I am getting personalized ads based on location. When I use the app at home, I do not get personalized ads. As soon as I go to work in [location removed], I suddenly start getting ads about housing in Irvine. This is very disturbing to me. I don't want YouTube using my location or following me around. I want a way to completely disable YouTube from accessing my location in any way. Currently, the app is violating my permissions apps on my device.

STOP the freaky scary or inappropriate commercials! I'm watching a home improvement channel for goodness sakes! I'm sitting here relaxing and BOOM stupid freaky scary crappy commercials! Why? Why do we need to be freaked out? There is no logical reason when watching this channel!
I'd like to know why seriously, unless you're just gonna stop excepting those commercials on your channel! You can contact me at [protected]@northwesttucson.com

Stop adding stuff that I hate and disapprove of ad sense. Leave it alone. Those are the type of ads that I want to see.

I've done everyone on my end to prevent unwanted, unwarranted, inappropriate ads even after resetting multiple times following instructions I took a whole day deleting everything and still I get inappropriate ads. It'll be things that I hate or don't want to see, Massive scams, Viruses, Executions, Softpornography,

I only look at a few types of things that's it you are not swaying me into anything I am a big gamer that is the main thing I also like to see news almost nothing else matters. I want ads but I want those types of ads nothing else I don't want to be involved in this war you have with these brands putting it into people's faces like myself knowing it's going to get thumbed down or disapproved. You have way too many ads to not show me the content that I would give attention to.

Also, see this text is in English it's the only language that I speak I don't want to see a woman wearing anything speaking a different language I don't care if she's the idea of beauty I'm not trying to see it. Another thing I don't want to see an ad that is anything near the time of the video. If the video is 10 mins long I should not see 10 mins or more of ads. I constantly get ads that are longer than the video. If the video is 10 mins long and it has 5 ads all ads combined should never exceed 2 mins regardless of how many ads the video has. Whether it's 5 or 90 ads the total time should never exceed 2 mins on a 10 mins video.

Your most successful ad that I've seen was a Starbucks video that was 4 seconds I'm near a Starbucks I wanted a Starbucks. One time I went to see 3 mins video because I need to know something the first ad was on a movie that was longer than the movie itself 3:16:58 I left and came back and the ad was still then I looked at the time over 3 hours I've never seen an ad on a T.V. that long. Then I went on to try and see 30-sec funny clip the first ad recorded execution I just watched someone get murder as an ad, Another time I go to see a 30-sec clip I see an explicit comedy ad a young girl looks underage but is not giving a handjob and treating it like a Heinz ketchup bottle though it was pornography and it was funny I did not want to see that the porn doesn't bother me as so much it not what I'm looking for far as products or things that I want to buy. I'm a gamer I want to buy games that all I'll buy.

Games and News is all I want in English in short ads.

Please stop ending music videos until they are done. Keep seeing adverts at the end of some of the best music videos which often ruins the end of some really great music videos. Let the adverts run after the video is complete.

Thanks

Hi, I'm writing extra to satisfy the character requirement to be read.

Anyway, please consider my request.

Thanks
Again

I wanted to enter a free give-away for a Fornite, but I needed an account to do so. But because I was too young, I was essentially banned from youtube and told to go to youtube kids. The Estetic made it feel more so Youtube Toddlers. I still want to make it fun, but it seems to appeal to younger kids. But that is not what I complaining about. Being banned because of my age is unacceptable and potentialy discrimatory. I expect better respect for my age group.

I'm extremely annoyed at the fact YouTube has been deducting my views.. I've worked hard on my cintent, I have my own label and artists and to see you taking views away when we can account for the views as we have a team promoting on all their social medias and between us we have 250, 000 followers so how can you just deduct views ? I want the problem resolved and if it ain't I'll out on my social medias that YouTube are UNFAIRLY deducting views from hard working artists .. I don't want this happening again and I want my 400 more views back ..

Me and all the other people in this video are over 13 but yet I still have no comments... If this could be fixed that would be great... The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1VWoQG_KO4 . The fact that Im gonna have to deal with this with almost every video I post is ridiculous. please fix this. It makes me nervous that all my videos are gonna get restricted and nobody can comment... (this will ruin my reputation at school, on the internet and every where else someone may see a video). A concerned / annoyed 13 year old content creator

There are numerous videos being put on YouTube, showing how men are rescuing Indian elephants from various accidents they say the elephants have had.

One video showed an elephant with a very tight wire wrapped around its trunk several times. The elephant couldn't possibly have done this itself. The wire was so tight and neatly wrapped round the trunk very, very tightly. They were also hacking at branches near the animals trunk and could have easily hacked the trunk. The elephant died.

These videos encourage people to watch a rescue, when in fact this is actually an animal being captured and tortured by these evil people.

These videos must be removed immediately.

The "Comfy Free" company is a Chinese scam. I purchased a coat and it was too small. They will not offer a refund. Instead, they wanted to offer me $10 to keep it. When I refused, their response emails were in Chinese. After I mentioned that I was going to report them, they ended all contact. Now I am stuck with a coat that doesn't fit. Is there a way that YouTube can follow up and investigate this company? I don't want anyone else to get scammed.

My channel was approved for monetization review on July 2018 and has been in a constant limbo for the past 20 months. All I have ever gotten is the same copy/paste bot responses from YouTube via Twitter and no resolution.
How can my channel be in monetization review for 20 months and no review actually done, not email response from YouTube whatsoever and yet YouTube auto-monetizes criminality, toxicity, child abuse, nudity, pornography, animal abuse beastily sex, criminal acts, gambling scams, fake charity scams, funeral funds, filming dead bodies, false and misleading click bait and terrorism videos!?

YouTube's own terms of service and YouTube Partner Program clearly states you receive a notification/email within 30 days yet here I am 20 months later and have nothing but copy/paste Twitter responses as everyone gets given now. Now I'm at the point where YouTube's own Twitter account has be muted as they don't even respond to people. I want to know why YouTube continues to fund, sponsor and promote only criminality and T.O.S VIOLATORS 24/7/365 yet honest creators get fobbed off.
I can only consider that this is some bad joke created by someone with a very cruel mind that likes to play with people's feelings, and this has to be reported at the highest level. YouTube claims to "care" but yet it only cares about monetizing criminality and toxicity.

YouTube recently censored this video as "hate speech", which it definitely is not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3qkf3bajd4&feature=youtu.be
You wrote: "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech. Learn more about combating hate speech in your country."

Does YouTube routinely censor as "Hate Speech" political material that does not conform to (your?) Marxist-Leninist policies?

Please restore this video or explain why you have censored it - it is certainly NOT hate speech.

Recently YouTube has chosen to double the advertisments before every video and sometimes add an advertisment following a video. This excess of advertisements is hindering the ablily to watch videos. Although I know there are no regulations on the number of ads, this sudden increase isn't fair since I wasn't notified of it beforehand.
Thank you for your time.

This may seem like a small thing, but for the love of everything good stop pausing my videos to ask me if I'm still watching. I have severe panic disorder and youtube videos are a way to help me cope and sleep.
When you ask me if I'm still watching, it stops the video completely so I'll wake up in a panic for the lack of noise. I pay for this service, I should be allowed to watch (or fall asleep to sleep aid videos) as much as I choose to. The more this happens the more I keep looking for something less obnoxious. You should give people the option to turn that awful crap off.

Not all political parties can afford to have their advert post right at the top of the opening Youtube page. You should not be letting the conservative mongrels do this. They have plenty of money and now you have got some of it and some people may now be swung by this misleading "advert" You should be ashamed of yourselves, but I suspect you're already in the tory pocket and don't really care.

PLEASE bring back PIP for YouTube on iPhones
I can't find this option anymore
On my galaxy I could back out of a YT video and find links to come back and post in live stream chats! This helps a lot when I am mod for several YouTube channels!
Now I have an iPhone and it doesn't do half as much as my galaxy did!
Please bring back this option
I researched all night and only found that Yt removed this option and its only offered out of the US or androids. Thanks

PLEASE STOP USING ANY FORM OF POLITICAL ADS! at least give me an option to skip because kids and even adults, (im a kid), don't like to see that crap! that's actually really not cool. i am not a supporter of boomer lol. but seriously i don't care its ecspecially annoying to people who aren't old enough to vote or don't support that person. please fix this im not trying to be rude im just sick of it! thank you.

They have a video where they are saying the alphabet wrong. My 3 year old son knows how to say the alphabet, and now he's telling me I'm saying it wrong. They have another video where they're in a garbage can rolling in the house. Adults with kids don't do these things they're acting like the thing they do is normal they are teaching young Kids a lot of the wrong things. I don't like my son on the internet already as a parent I watch everything he watches just to be safe.

I would like their content to changed or be removed by YouTube please we as a community we have to keep a eye out for people doing the wrong things that's the only way change will happen.

His stuff on the regular YouTube is what I'm referring to

Ketto is commercial organisation has not done anything or to any one elevate suffering . This is an commission agent. But the advt. which shown on You Tube are extremely pain full.

An commercial organisation is exploiting human suffering. I am sure, your ethical principle would not allow to exploit inflict emotional abuse in viewers
Kindly stop & let them review & revise content
