YouTube inappropriate advertising

Hi there, My daughter (aged 4 ) was watching a video from Come Play With Me which is two young sisters playing barbies when an advert came on for the latest Saw film! I quickly skipped it before she watched ant of it but was completely disgusted as that is not appropriate advertising for the type of content she was watching. This needs to stop, she is struggling with nightmares as it is without watching a horror trailer! Sort it out YouTube.

Yeah it's shocking that a huge company like YouTube allows this type of advertising. I was watching a kids TV programme on YouTube with my 2 year old daughter. We were watching Morph and at the end an advert started playing for the Evil Within computer game. Which is an 18 rated horror computer game and is highly violent with graphic gore ect. I am absolutely disgusted with YouTube regarding this. Luckily I was sat with my daughter and could skip the advert before she saw anything.

YouTube my playlist bean remove

I don't understand why YouTube would say and remove one of my music playlist when theirs nothing inappropriate other then just regular music. That u can still find the same songs by searching it individualy. As it is I would like to get back my playlist because I also had it privately and their was no nudity no blood or racial profanity then just songs to help people relax.

YouTube the shuffle function

ever since youtube changed its skin and updates the shuffle function is terrible.
It used to shuffle in a selfmade playlist no problems now it only repeats a few songs over and over again.
I have a playlist with 300+ songs but if I listen during a workday 8+ hours It will give me maybe 50 different songs the rest it ignores always the same songs and always repeating.

For running ads on Jimmy Kimmel and not on Casey Neistat's video. Casey was trying to give to an amazing cause but no, you had to take that away from him. You all are sick [censor] who selectively choose who to monetize. You all don't deserve anything because of this. And I'm going to keep on sending messages til I hear a response. So you better respond soon.

Dear YouTube,

I am a lifelong U.S. citizen and I had no clue that I was now residing in the Middle East or is it communist Russia? ZERO stars for you!

YouTube commercials

Hey youtube,
The recent commercial changes for watching youtube videos are CRAZY. I don't know if this was a change made a month ago or just yesterday, but COMMERCIALS SHOULD NOT BE LONGER THAN THE VIDEO (I would not actually shout these words if we met in person, but there would be a guaranteed clap after every word to annunciate the importance of what I'm trying to communicate). Another problem that has been plaguing me for a while are the horror film trailers that you guys think is smart to use as a commercial. You should have some sort of survey on whether or not a viewer is afraid of horror rather than which H&M or Grammarly commercial they have or have not seen. I HATE HORROR. I WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF SHORTEN SUMMARIES AND REVIEWS ABOUT HORROR FILMS, BUT NOT THE ACTUAL MOVIES OR TRAILERS. I HAVE WATCHED THE HAPPY DEATH DAY TRAILER OVER 15 TIMES TODAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!?

Bests,
A consumer who is getting more and more ticked off

Another problem...starting from today, my commercials apparently like to load as long or longer than the video I want to watch. Pressing refresh seems to be a new motto for the Youtube company

If you talk in a formal and respectful way about the topic, it is more likely that they will do something about the ad-pocalypse.

YouTube demonetization of the report of the week

I find the demonetization of The Report of the Week's videos to be way off base. He has one of the most genuine, family friendly, PC videos on youtube and consistently provides quality content. I do not see the reasoning behind pulling the ads as it is clear he follows the guidelines set by youtube. I ask that you revisit the decision to demonetize his videos and correct the error. Thank you

YouTube advertisement

Date: 4 Oct 2017

Description: Your TIAA commercials are unnecessarily loud. I feel as though my speakers are going to explode each time they play. In fact, I have to mute my computer each time they appear on my screen.

Desirable Resolution: Lower the volume of these commercials or do not play them at all. They have become nothing more than a nuisance and have only made me dislike their company as a whole.

YouTube scientology advertisements

I want to complain about the advertisements from the Church of Scientology.
It's perplexing you'd except advertisements from them. It's a cult and one would think you'd be aware of this. Do you have no shame? I'd love to watch a video on YouTube without an advertisement berating Leah Remini. Does YouTube only care about the money they can gain from these advertisements? I'll be surprised if you have not received more complaints.

YouTube youtube ads

I know everyone complains about ads regardless, I also know youtube needs ads to continue running. I have always supported youtube and mostly don't care about the ads, however, its getting ridiculous that I'm now watching 4 ads during a 7 minute video. I have noticed this getting worse gradually over this last few months and am concerned it will keep going until its an ad every minute. Youtube, cut back on the ads, you've gone a little overboard.

Also out of spite I don't support anything I see ads for on youtube, sorry not sorry.

YouTube the hypstar, flipgram ads

There have been these ads exposing young girls to promote their apps. So about 13-14 year olds (they aren't of legal age) are being put on display of their bodies from these companies to get support of their app. I think this is wrong because people are wanting to buy these irrelevant apps because young girls are belly dancing, showing their bodies in inappropriate ways, and twerking these people can be old men in the sex trafficking move trying to get these girls. I will ask if you to please eliminate these ads so no one gets hurt or goes missing.

Sincerely, Amyah

YouTube shuffle feature

I'd like to complain about your shuffle feature in playlists.
Since you have the pointless update regarding the appearance of the website i have noticed that the shuffle feature is almost unresponsive, and by that i mean it doesn't show in the playlist tab that it has actually shuffled the tracks.It is only when you click the button to play the next track it actually jumps to the next random track in playlist
When it is playing a song it only shows the ones adjacent to it in the playlist tab when you click the shuffle button, whereas before it would show in the playlist tab a random selection of all the tunes in your playlist alongside their relevant numbers, it only shows the adjacent songs to each song played with the recent update...
Why fix something that isn't broken?
Not only that it also seems to repeat the same songs over and over, i thought the whole point of 'shuffling' a playlist was that it selected each track in your playlist in a random manner and not play the same 5 tracks in successions until you get sick of them

Get it sorted youtube... you can sort this issue simply by reverting to your last update before you suddenly changed the appearance which has seemed to make previously functional features almost useless

Regards

YouTube inappropriate advertisements

Whilst my 1 year old little boy was watching Peppa pig on YouTube I was discussed to discover that half way through Peppa pig an advert for mens tenna pants came on. Then an ad for clear blue pregnancy test and then to top it all off and ad for condoms came on. Hardly the most appropriate products to be used in in the middle of a children's cartoon. I am totally discussed and outraged that such adverts should be used. Something needs to be done immediately.

YouTube advert complaint

You tube are allowing a racist advert to be played in South Africa. A paid ad from BLF TV ...calling the white monopoly thieves. This type of advert spreads hate and causes to separate an already divided country. It does no one any good. If another racial group had placed this advert it would be termed racist. Please remove this advert and help South Africans unite.

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.
