YouTube inappropriate treasonous ad

I was watching a video on YouTube and an ad popped up to attacked the president of the United states. As a patriot, I am highly offended and believe YouTube should be held responsible. It was an ad asking me to sign a petition to impeach the president. First off, if he is guilty of any of the claims, the Democrats have the house and can do so. So these claims must be lies and therefore false and misleading advertising. please prosecute these idiots. fine them out the wazoo.

YouTube movie with a letter k over it in center - ruins movie

From:
David Peterson
San Jose, Ca

Dear Sir's,

I just began to watch a movie entitled "Python 2000" and in the middle of the screen their is a horrid english letter "K" in white, placed directly in the middle of the screen, obviously from the uploader.

Not only is this visually inappropriate but is placing an image on a film not owned by the uploader.

I forwarded the movie in the time line and it still carries the "K" after 9:21 minutes.

I favor the individual(s) being told to remove this visual issue or their uploading be removed.

This is abusive of a film they don't own and abusive of the individual watching.

Thank you,
David A Peterson

YouTube removed videos from my watch later list

I dont care if youtube does not like some videos on the site they have NO right to remove anything without our consent.
I will take this further and we will all come together and voice our opinion and our rights for free speech that it is our prerogative to view anything we wish without you tubes extreme biased authoritarian censorship that is going on with certain patrons channels especially conservatives video uploads. It has been going on for some time and it needs to stop right now! this is ridiculous and it is time for change

YouTube stabbed us in the back

After five and a half years of being loyal to YouTube they just stabbed us in the back. Without any warning they removed all monetization on all seven thousand of our videos. They offered no reasonable explanation. They claim we are re-using content from other channels. This is a complete lie. All of our videos our own own original works. No appeals process, no managers to go to. No escalations allowed. We went round and round with one of their "support people" and got a constant run around from them. They pointed us to the policies that we had read 156 times already. As far as we can tell we are following their vague and highly subjective policies just fine. Asked what video(s) they were referenced. They refused to answer. Asked what percentage of content they claim is re-used. They refused to answer. Asked for an appeals process and they refused. Asked for a manager, and they refused. Asked to talk to someone who could fix this. They refused. All we were given was after 30 days we could re-apply for monetization. With no knowledge of how to fix this or stop it from happening again. YouTube is running a rigged scam game. They are treating us like slaves. They still run ads on our videos. Now they keep 100% of the ad revenue instead of 40%. They got wealthy off of the hard work of content creators and now decide we should not get paid for our hard. We should work for them for free. This is theft on their part. Plain and simple. We worked hard to get 77K in subscribers. YouTube is too corrupt. They need oversight. We also suspect religious persecution as well as political affiliation discrimination is coming from YouTube.

YouTube youtube advertisement layout on android

Hate the way an advertisers page pops up on the screen. I would be in the middle of reading or writing a comment and all of a sudden it pops up. If I am reading a thread I completely lose my place because it goes back to the main comments. Serious pain in the butt, get rid of it and let people have the option of clicking to open the dropdown ad. Feel like this complaint will fall on deaf ears.

YouTube censorship

Youtube with its new censoring mayhem is removing 99% of the interesting content and is now beyoun a joke.

I now cannot read or view anything that is alternative, or challanges the dangerous media narrative that is taking over the web.

I feel like I am now being spoon fed progaganda.

YT - was once a fibrant, engaging and interesting channel to visit.

It is now very bland & uninteresting.

YouTube youtube platform

Their censorship is beyond ridiculous at this point! They are censoring MANY channels & NOT just Conspiracy ones. Channels like Shawn Woods (Mousetrap Mondays) are being hidden, demonitized, getting strikes for no reason & even being blocked or removed. Youtube was created for the USER for YOU. Now if I want to watch Secure Team 10s videos I won't find them in the search results if I type in "ALIEN" OR "UFO" not 1 search result pops up that isnt from CNN, NBC, Fox News, BBC ect. Now ONLY Maintream News Sources show up in their results... As if I couldnt turn on a flipping T.V. instead... NOT COOL Youtube I am DONE with your Garbage Platform! By the way today is 03/17/2019

YouTube videos of girls playing with dogs

Having enjoyed YouTube for many years, i recently watched the recent videos of the michael jackson and was, of course, offered similar subjects to view which I explored accordingly. What I have found however are many videos of Girls who claim to be playing with / training or grooming their dogs. Will you please view and consider removing them as I do believe they are not appropriate? Many thanks, David King

YouTube identity theft

Hi,

Yesterday I received a series of emails from YouTube at my Yahoo email address ([protected]@yahoo.co.uk), stating that my account had been suspended due to my content violating your spam, deceptive practices and scams policy.

However, I rarely use YouTube and do not post anything on YouTube. I have no idea who is using my name and what they have been posting on there. I have not clicked on the link to the video in the email as I think this could be a scam and a virus is attached to it, but I have done a screen dump of my in box and also of the message contained in the email, which I have attached to this message.

Could you investigate this and get back to me please as it is very worrying. Please respond to my email address at [protected]@outlook.com in case I have to shut my yahoo email address down.

Thanks,
Heather Sherriff

YouTube momo video

I can't believe you are allowing this momo video to be shown to children. It's nothing short of teaching them suicide attempts. Also allowing it to put up in kids cartoon videos or shows is irresponsible to the person that created this, but you for letting it happen. I happen to have small grandchildren that I wouldn't want to see this video. Promoting suicide is not a funny subject

YouTube posting of illegal intrusive surveillance

Dear Youtube,

My name is John McCartney and I am a British citizen living in China. It has come to my attention that people have been posting videos of me, including live streaming video on Youtube. This taunting about the videos continues, and a lot of people know everything about my personal life, and the lives of my family. My brother, Paul McCartney, is behind this. Could you please look into this posting of intrustive illegal surveillance?

Thank you and Best Regards,

YouTube song "my brave face"

I really like Paul McCartney's song "My Brave Face." There are a number of video's of it on YouTube. Unfortunately, some Japanese [censored] has appended clips of himself to every copy, ruining them. Can you restore the video's and suspend that [censored]'s privileges?

Example:

YouTube inappropriate ads

This has happened on two occasions. I was watching YouTube with my younger sister when an ad came up for TikTok. I was annoyed in the first place with the stupid and irrelevant ads that came up anyway but this one was the last straw. As you know, many children watch YouTube and it's completely unacceptable to show a ad of a girl trying to eat a spanner. Which may make a child do this. This is issue number one. Another issue with this particular ad is the eerie feeling to it. I'm not sure what it is but it just seems like it may creep a child out. The final and worst issue is the fact that there is swearing in this advert. The woman said ‘Here we f***ing go.' This is NOT child friendly in any way.

YouTube pop up ads for other political videos using derogatory terms for pres trump and his cabinet in these cspan videos.

I have screen shots of the pop up ads to watch other videos.

Like, Share, Subscribe pop up advertisements
While watching a Senate hearing questioning Sec of Homeland Security: Examples
- " Reporters confront Sarah Sanders on Trumps Unhinged Behavior"
- " Sen Harris confronts Trumps lackey" etc
- " Sen Durbin grills Trumps lackey" etc

These are CSPAN recordings being superimposed by YouTube employees with politically slanted adjectives which ARE WRONG to add.
This takes away from CSpans neutral position politically.

I am also going to bring this to the attn of CSpan.

YouTube to remove our productions from youtube

Dear YouTube
Would you kindly remove our movies from your site. These movies are produced and directed by myself (Khaled Al-Sidik) financed by our existing production entity as above. The movies are between 100 to 115 minutes each:
1. The Cruel Sea (Kuwait) sometimes termed in Arabic (Bass Ya Bahar)
2. The Wedding Of Zein and in Arabic termed as Orss Al-Zein
We would like also to inform you that these productions will never fall into Public Domain because of the existing enterprise, its Board of Directors, partners and inheritors. This enterprise in based in Kuwait since its establishment in March 1964.
Appreciate your cooperation.
Sincerely.

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.
