YouTube
Reviews and Complaints

I'm writing this complaint not on the purpose of complaining about YouTube bit of the amount advertisements that have been implemented... I understand that advertising is the main revenue stream for YouTube but alas we where watching some videos with my 4 year old, they came on every few minutes... an exagération. This experience has tarnished this wonderful service and YouTube's reputation as one of the conversation pieces of the holidays will have been about our disgust on the amount of advertising that we are experiencing...

Please consider this an honest costumer service opinion and have a happy holiday

Sincerely,

J.Smith

Dear YouTube,

Let me be the first to say: ARE YOU GUYS INSANE!?!?

Seriously, it takes you till just now to see that people have posted content on YOUR website that doesn't belong on there and should've been banned a long time ago?!

I COULD LIST SEVERAL VIDEOS THAT DON'T BELONG!

Not only that, but we get a huge fines for even if we were to accidentally mislabel a video?!

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! IT'S UNFAIR THAT WE GET PUINSHED FOR SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE LITERALLY SOMETIMES DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER!

Not to mention that you'll delete channels that aren't making enough money?!
WHAT. THE. HELL. YOUTUBE?!.

Most people's incomes come from making content on your website!
And you're just taking it all away!

This will not stand!
People are leaving YouTube because of this!
You're not making the problem better, YOU'RE MAKING IT WORST!

I DEMAND THAT YOU ETHER CHANGE THE POLICY OR GET RID OF IT!

(I do not at all mean to sound harsh, but this is a very serious problem)

(And if you want proof, there's thousands of videos on this topic)

Randy Enslow of Clinton Iowa is reported to be a First Amendment Auditor. I am a strong supporter of the First Amendment. I served my country in the US Army to defend those rights. Yet Randy Enslow under the guise of a First Amendment Auditor, has made a point of harassing, taunting and haranguing Clinton County Employees and citizens in the Clinton County Courthouse, in an attempt to elicit a negative response from employees so he could sue. He has gone to the extent of going to a Deputie's home and recording and has stalked and harassed a Bailiff three times when the Bailiff was off duty out in the public shopping. He had posted a recording he made a the Jehovah's Witness Church where he harassed them and called them "War Mongers". The man does not understand the First Amendment. Multiple citizens have filed criminal complaints against Randy Enslow for him harassing them and him telling them that there is nothing they can do about it and he has the right to do what he wants. All I ask is that all the videos posted on his "We For The People" page either be taken down or you blur the faces of all those who specifically told Enslow in the posted recordings that he could not use their images on any social media site. Enslow is getting paid for our images. I am one of the Bailiffs who works at the Clinton County Courthouse. Thank You

YouTube says it supports the creators but in realitiy you would rather leave what is okay or not okay as a gray area rather than defining it. YouTubes policy on violence when uploading a video about a video game (example: Skyrim made by Bethesda) if there are 107 seconds IN TOTAL out of a 10 minuet video and someone uploads it as the MINIMUM for violence and it gets flagged and manually reviewed and then gets moved to a higher bracket even though videos of the same nature have not had te same thing done to them. That is utter crap and completely unlike what should be done. If you need more help understanding why people are getting so upset about the way YouTube works the go watch the video that I link below. And then change your policies so that they are cut and dry.

It was very insulting to read what the dutch auto captioning wrote on my newly posted video, today
One of the captions stated that I was having a bad hair day. I have cancer, which effects the condition of my hair. There were a few remarks about Muslim people. Why don't you people remove auto captioning and just leave it as a choice and save your company a complaint? I had to take all of that captioning out because I was not sure turning it off would work on my part of the video. It was insulting and childish. No excuses. I doubt that you could say it was just a translation error when bad hair day came out in perfect English as with the Muslim comments. The rest was in dutch.

Hello

I would just like to register a complaint about the new look youtube homepage.
There is an obvious trend on many platforms for large thumbnails.

This makes browsing difficult and tedious because of the need to scroll more,
you see less on a screen and also re-finding stuff is less clear for some reason.

It would be good to have the option of small or large thumbnails.
The trend for the 'infant picture book point and click' style page feels patronizing.

Please have this sorted by teatime.
Regards

While watching some you tube with my grandson last night he clicked on a person "Flamingo" playing roblox. It was a video from 4 weeks ago 11-11-19 it said. In this game his character was dropping guns all over in the game trying to get people to pick up the guns and shoot the other characters. As a grandmother of a 10 and 9 year old it was very disturbing, I understand there is a lot of disturbing content on your you tube but I have never seen nor imagined I would see something like this.

My grandchildren have to do active shooter drills, I believe it's once a month, to tell you the truth I pray every night they will never have to do the real thing ever. And then this Flamingo insights this kind of thing on your channel, he can do this in his own home in private, but please not on channel where children are watching and he's trying to encourage them in this type of behavior. I'm hoping you knew nothing of this and if you did I don't understand why you would allow this type of content. I know I'm just 1 old lady but I'm their 1 old lady, and I need to speak up for them. Please, please don't let this person or any one do this kind of thing on your channel. Both of the children are on your channel all the time, they enjoy it so much, and then someone has to come along and ruin it for everyone.
If someone could respond I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Henry

Why are you censoring Judicial Watch and other sites for simply telling the TRUTH? question is rhetorical since I am well aware you and the other far left radicals can't stand the Truth and actual FACTS. It appears you are trying to influence elections for the DNC because the only way Dems win is by cheating and you all are helping with that CHEATING.

It has subtitles. They were being used in the first part of the movie. They stopped being used for the most of the movie. I only understood the English, some of the French, and non of the Russian. I think the subtitles in English should have stayed on for the entire movie.

I would like to have this resolved by not charging me for the movie. I do not want to watch it again. I used my best appreciation and understanding of body language. I knew about Nureyev.

I hope this does not happen to all subtitle fims. I hope that this small easy resolution can be resolved in my favor. I do not need all the additional comments
and suggestions. I thank you for rapid resolution. I love utube. I hope to subscribe in the near future. There are a tremendous number of app that we are need to choose from.

Have a wonderful day. Have a successful year

I have lost my entire family over the last 11 years. My sisters, brothers, mum, aunts, uncles, cousins and a friend or two. Then my partner 4 weeks ago. Looking up things like NDE to comfort me through my grief I have since been innundated with [censored]ing funeral adverts. Or some guy telling me how much it costs. Then life assurance. These fear mongering adverts are beyond contempt. I put up with hundreds of ads a day by using You Tube. No after paying for funerals I'm hopelessly in debt. Yet you keep putting all these up. How can you do this to a grieving daughter, sister, niece, cousin aunt friend. That's me by the wayShow some [censored]ing decorum and fix your algorithyms. I'm sick of you. I do all your nasty little surveys and so on to help but this is beyond a joke. A bloody man telling me how much the council is [censored] and going to make sure I have to pay loads for my funeral etc etc etc. STOP IT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-Jhl5iZk0 is the video that it came on again and again as well as nearly every other video. You're so greedy and selfish. I was going to do a channel about art and how to do certain crafts when my grief eases. But if I have to put people through that I don't want to.

I was charged last month as well as this month 3 separate charges of $11.99! I submitted a complaint and heard nothing back. Then I see it again this month! I never wanted this and was never asked about it! I want my money back I'm going to attach the photos of my back where it was taken out and i had to call my bank to figure out who they were that was taking this because it didn't even come up with the company name at first! So 3 charges of $11.99 last month and 3 charges of $11.99 this month! Email is [protected]@yahoo! I need to be contacted ASAP please

These keep showing up when I hit my notifications! I do NOT want Fox news or photos of TRUMP showing up ANYWHERE when I log into my subscriptions. I neither subscribe to, nor do I watch television anymore. The main reason is that I don't want to see either that individual or Fox News. If I am on Twitter, I expect to run into this. I do NOT expect to see this when I hit my subscriptions on my YOUTUBE PREMIUM ‼️ Please make these go away.

You obviously do not monitor or check your Closed Caption personnel and I suggest this issue be addressed.
The spelling is absolutely TERRIBLE and shows that the typists do not follow the news or even listen to the videos.
IF I were deaf, this service would be of no use to me because of the spelling, alone.
How bad is the spelling, you ask?
My 5 yr old grandson notices when the words do not display what is being said.
If you need more people, I can provide you my resume for consideration.

Some miscreants are running a youtube channel called - School of roohaniyat. They are cheating money by offering islamic rituals like jinn pari etc. They collecting money from innocent people through this channel. They first post fraudulent video on this channel and then starts chatting through whatsapp etc and sends link like instamojo, etc asking money. After than they stops chatting and hides. This is repeated for new innocent people. And they are doing this from 2017. I ask to remove this channel.

it has become clear that your agents are discriminating against me for a number of reasons 1} i am a medical cannabis user & 2} i am canadian. my feed page is locked on very large format and only unwanted subjects are pumped in. my "do not recommend channel" or "not interested" doesn't work, the unwanted videos keep coming. it is illegal to discriminate even if instructed to do so by the government. please quit discriminating against me! please fix my feed page for "anthro"

Hi,
I am writing this mail regarding a youtube Which has been hacked and deleted from youtube "Dhakad Khabar", i think youtube has 70%-75% all over the world, but what type of security is this that any one can hack & delete your Channel, you might don't know that in INDIA non of the main streem Media show the true news, Dhakad Khabar was doing there job & sowing the True News, & we were happy atlist some one is showing the true News, but that channel is also hacked and deleted from youtube IS THIS THE SECURITY YOU PROVIDE,
Kindly make youtube secure and take Strict action who had done so

having previously complained about the nature of some videos being linked to various subjects, the example I gave was: I was watching oprah interviewing witnesses with ref to the allegation relating to Michael Jackson and those similar titles suggested by youtube were 'grooming' and having followed the trail i eventually arrived at dog and horse grooming or rather that is what the claimed, such is their perverse nature, I asked if consideration could be given to having them removed but, todate, nothing has happened and the said videos are still on offer to me.

My channel was taken from the partnership program for reused content all videos are mine and recorded by me it has taken youtube 4 months to tell me this and now will not respond to any of my queries, , I recieved a warning also for nudity and sexual thumbnail/ content, two weeks after being removed from the program, we appealed this as this was ridicious the video is nothing like that, we find this is digusting and defamotry to even insinuate this, the video in question is of my daughter with our pet dogs, we are all extremly upset by this remark and my daughter is deeply distraught, we are not happy at all. Our channel has been a target, and you cannot give us a reason as to why we have been removed .
Another channel on youtube had most of our videos on their site, without question and they was monetised too! also other channels have our videos on your platform, again monetised . It seems all other channels can gain from our videos except for me and our family. It has takenTHE OTHER CHANNEL 9 months to remove OUR videos from their channel making me copyright strike them in order to do so, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and retract the strike after they finally released them all, our channel is extremly similar to THIS channel, 30 seconds videos that are entertaining and offers educational value in the long descriptions we write in the videos, yet our channel is taken from the program ...why? This has been now going on for 5 months and we are deeply upset. We had a welcome income for youtube and you did not give me a chance to put our channel right. Noone it seems can answer us why you have removed our channel especially when other channels that are the same with same content, hence we had lots and lots of videos on THIS OTHER CHANNEL... that are still on your platform monetised. we cannot see any violations and nor can anybody else it seems never mind such a severe violation that you permanently removed our channel, but cannot tell us why? this make no sense at all, I would like the warning taken of my channel and I would like you to reconsider my channel to be put back on the program and tell me why this was done thank you for your time .
yours sincerly P meyers

I'm in urgent need of help. My friend and I, being silly, uploaded three videos to YouTube with a fake name. We were only about 8 or 9, so we were pretty immature and were playing make believe. It is haunting us to this day and we are always worried that our friends are going to see it. Please advise us on how to sort the issue as we don't have access to this account. A quick response would be great. Thank you.
