YouTube frauds monetizing copyrighted content from tv one llc

I have noticed youtube has been cracking down on those individuals trying to create fast revenue on the back of TV ONE, LLC. Fremantle is also getting their hands on much of the content and will hit the rest with copyright claims soon enough. The woman who made thousands (her last standing channel was called 00FA) has given up and is no longer on youtube. Another one is also gone but there are two sneaky ones who have inside help. A day or two before youtube terminates channels, CYST EXPLOSION and OFFA (the 00FA impersonator) delete all their videos and lay low until it is safe to return. OFFA and CYST EXPLOSION upload content from TV ONE, LLC and monetize the videos that Fremantle hasn't claimed yet. Youtube is getting their cut, of course. I will be contacting Fremantle to speed up the process and maybe there can be prosecution for these criminals. Someone sent me an email inquiring if this is still going on. They wanted to talk. They will be reading this so... Listen, fraud. You don't have long. I am not interested and have blocked you. A day after that email, the OFFA channel was back in business. Google and Youtube should be ashamed of themselves. It is not worth it.

YouTube inappropriate advert before kids video

Hi there,
This morning my 7 year old son was about to watch a video intended for kids (FGTEEV channel), but before he could watch the content of the video, he was forced to see a dusturbing advert that was impossible to skip where two women were making out. I don't wish my son to see such things as I find it extremely inappropriate, offensive and incompatible with our religious and political views, but yet we don't have any say or choice over what we see before a video. I think it should be monitored closely what type of adverts are being shown depending on type of video.
I hope this problem will be looked into and somehow dealt with as soon as possible. Thank you

YouTube fighting mad cats video on youtube

Looking for "cats meowing loud", I saw a title "fighting mad cats" appear. Viewed video on Friday, May 6th, 2017 and it is still on you tube. It's about a woman videotaping two cats viciously fighting. A black/white and orange tabby. As the women was taping, I could hear her laughing, even when the black/white cat was aggressively biting the orange tabby's face. The cat was crying loudly and could see it was trying to pull away, but couldn't because it appeared that cat was in agony! The fight stopped briefly when again the black/white attacked the orange tabby cat, biting the face again. Again, you could hear the laughing of this woman taping. It was very disturbing to me! The black/white cat had a mouth full of hair and something else "skin or part of eye?". This should be removed immediately so no one else can view this horrific scene. Last I seen, there were 3, 201, 254 views. I am surprise that no else has complained! I will take this to the Humane Society if not removed immediately. This kind of videotaping should not be encouraged! If one does it, another will follow. Animals have no voices, so we must be there voice! I thank you in advance.

YouTube video adverts

I watch YouTube from Japan and I can't bear with the video ad from your channel called 't hashimoto' (please refer the attached PrintScreen).

Basically, the first few seconds until we are allowed to skip the ad says 'Nuke attack to the centre of Tokyo, Chuo-ku, Shinjuku-ku...).

I am simply wondering are you Google, as a company, supporting North Korea's attempts at destroying Japan?

If so, continue allowing this ad to be on your screen, otherwise, how can you allow this sort of extremists to maintain a channel on your platform?

I only expect you have decent common sense.

Regards

YouTube youtube's news selections

Hello,

I am concerned that your company is now restricting it's news selections to mainstream media outlets - censoring the independent news channels- all of them.

This despite the fact that the majority of Americans don't believe the mainstream news to be factual.

This leads one to believe Youtube has strayed from its core business as a universal platform.

This is going to convince many that it is time to move to other companies filling the niche Youtube pioneered.

Thank you for reading my concerns.

Gary

YouTube youtube promotes child abuse

I am disgusted that both channels "daddyofive" and "mommyofive" have not been taken down.
One video shows Mike Martin pointing a gun at his children.
Why haven't these vile child abusers been taken off YouTube?
I usually let my child use YouTube to watch certain shows but after seeing channels like this being left on we will no longer be using YouTube. I do not support child abuse! Sort it out, you get paid enough!

YouTube bad baby videos

Dear service provider,

You have been very cooperative and supportive in display of educative videos to your customers except some "bad baby" videos which our kids use to watch and use to act the same way as shown in videos.
We therefore request you to show "bad baby" videos only after logging into grail or youtube account.

Thanking you in anticipation

Your loyal customer

YouTube commercials between videos

I use several Learning Station videos for my special education classroom. The commercials are extremely inappropriate and use bad language such as the word ####. Mainly during the video game commercials. How are the commercials monitored or reviewed before being allowed to be used? How are the commercials selected and assigned to videos. Educational videos should not have the types of commercials you supply for them. Almost none are ever appropriate. Hope you can resolve and appreciate my input.

Thank you,

Andrea

YouTube ben & jerry's ad

Dear YouTube,

I've been having a difficult time watching YouTube due to the unloading Ben and Jerry ad that keeps on interfering my videos. All the other ads from different companies play just as fine, which won't bother me at all. However, Ben & Jerry just won't load and gets stuck every time it pops up. I have to reopen the window/app to reload my entire video every time the ad is B & J (which occurs 5 times a day?)

Please let me know if this can be fixed or whether I can get help to block this specific ad since I couldn't activate the adblocker on my device...it's racking my nerves...

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Happy Easter Holiday,
Chanel Zhang

YouTube homepage content

Very disappointed that YouTube's content can be very inappropriate especially for younger viewers who may come in contact with the home page-for example, I was on the home page with my daughter and as I was scrolling down here came some inappropriate adult type material referencing sex and was clearly not for children, especially if it's graphic. Do better, if those type's of things are going to be on a general public domain for everyone perhaps filters or links should be used.

YouTube david pakman show; news & politics

4/4/2017 -- on going

It looks like pulling advertising from David Pakman Show (and similar current events/news/politics programming) are being targeted by an advertising cartel with a resulting revenue loss that seems to fit with the idea that "the free press" is being branded as "the enemy of the American people" per Donald Trump and thus, subverted.

Youtube have suddenly started pulling advertising revenue from legitimate news commentary sites such as The David Pakman show and Kyle Kulinski's show and the Majority Report amongst others. These channels do well researched and credible reportage and yet you are censoring them by stealth by demonetising their content. David's show is syndicated to radio stations in the US, so how can his content be offensive ?
Clearly it is not. Some of his previous advertisers have been trying to advertise on his show specifically and Youtube have decided not to allow them.
At the same time I noticed that Alex Jones, who is a blatant liar and spreads conspiracy theories and fake news DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE LOST REVENUE ?Why?
Please be advised that if you persist in this underhand method of censoring news content which is well respected and well presented then I may as well get rid of the app entirely - I am not interested in fluffy cat videos or endless fake stunts - you are still monetising MSNBC and Fox News videos and so it would appear that you are now in collusion with the billionaire owned press outlets to shut down any debate.
I oniy have the app to watch news and I do watch the standard outlets as well, however I would definitely not bother keeping the app just for that and so your corporate mates will also lose out as a result of this.
Do you not understand the word 'complicit' either YouTube ?
This must be altered now YouTube or inevitably we will all leave and find another more fair platform and youtube will lose out.
Yours in absolute disbelief and disgust Josie Fox

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.
