“Ok”

Rida A.
3/23/24

YouTube is my go-to platform for video content. Whether I'm looking for educational tutorials, entertaining vlogs, or music videos, YouTube has it all. The user-friendly interface and personalized recommendations make it easy to discover new content. I also appreciate the diverse community of creators and the ability to interact through comments and likes

“Youtube has become garbage”

Rob C.
3/19/24

Too many advertisements in front of the videos in recent weeks. Additionally, I'm tired of this platform blurring out sections of a video like a war documentary. Its history. STOP BLURRING IT OUT. I wish creators would start switching to Rumble. They have 1080p videos now and no blurring, very little censorship. Youtube has become trash.

I witness YouTube abusing content generators by manipulating their algorithms so viewers don't ever see their videos without searching for it, and even then YouTube will often put their video further down the search results- making it harder to view. Youtube very often takes content generators' advertising revenue- stealing it for themselves. Often YouTube pretends they (often popular comedians) said or did something extremely egregious (not true by any stretch of the imagination) to deserve their ad revenue being confiscated. Lines do exist between healthy criticism of an institution or culture (which are instrumental to a healthy society) and racism or other destructive behaviors. I observe YouTube knowing that difference, but choosing to remove that differentiation to wield a oppressive amount of control over both content providers and viewers and the viewers' ability to find videos and comment on them.

Tip for consumers:
I hope an free and fair alternative to YouTube is soon released by Elon Musk.

This app went from a magical place to find people doing creative/random $#*! to get your mind off of reality to a swarm of $#*!ing ads and bull$#*!. They've done everything to make this website a full time job and it really sucks the fun out of everything, also if you happen to give ANY money to youtube I guarantee you have some form of autism. I hope neal trips on a banana and breaks every tooth in his mouth while also breaking hit foot. Thank you very much for your time and have another $#*! day!

In the past year, youtube.com has gone totally downhill. I used to be able to watch different videos, now all they have are the same repeat stories over and over. So now, they don't put up any new videos. It's all become podcasts and storytelling with no video. They only videos that get updated are the news. The titles show they can't even spell besides and use fake photos that have nothing to do with what I click on in the first place. They story tellers don't even speak the english language either. Now, I can't find anything I haven't already seen. Need another site.

Tip for consumers:
They could have informed the viewers of the change. They did not. False pictures to entice viewers that aren't even part of the video, consistent false propaganda being allowed, while they cut out so many words you don't even know what the videos is actually about. Totally misleading.

YouTube is good for finding good tutorials etc., but terrible with their policies, way too many bs policies when streaming or even posting videos with a little background music. Just as Facebook, I'm 50/50 with YouTube.

Honestly, YouTube used to be the best thing ever, with me being able to spend hours upon hours watching videos about everything and everything. Now, the website has become an ad cannon that is aimed right at your skull. You cant navigate ANYWHERE, or do a single thing, without taking a shotgun blast of unwanted advertisements directly to the dome. Google destroyed YouTube and turned it almost unusable... it reminds me of a porn site with how many BS popups and ads are jammed down your throat every time you have the misfortune of using it. Garbage work Google, absolutely steaming hot garbage.

They have interesting content but the platform does stupid things. For example it will start playing a movie in 720p yet the movie offers a resolution in 1080p. Why dont these idiots just play the movie in the highest resolution? It could at least communicate with the computer or phone & see if 1080p is possible. Nearly all devices today support 1080p.

I'm almost forty years old and on this app you have to type in explicit version because YouTube only plays the clean version. And to me that is highly annoying especially when driving or at work. So I won't use this app anymore for music at all. And I used it for years. I went to i heart radio, and I'm so much happier. This is a real music app and it's dedicated to Playing great music all the time. See ya later YouTube!

Since Google bought YouTube, this has led to favoritism for African-American people and a very big discrimination. If you upload videos where you see African-Americans fighting or arguing, YouTube blocks you, but if an African-American uploads videos selling drugs or weapons or abusing Some Latino or white or Chinese, well, YouTube allows the video, honestly, YouTube has become $#*!

Bad, everything google owns is bad. I hope another company replaces google, google is run by corrupt idiots that yearns for control. They also bot their own reviews, they control what you see. This would get censored if it was put on googleplay.

So, I know they have a ton of guidelines to follow but with so many true conspiracy videos on YouTube, for you to delete this video makes me sad... What exactly did it violate?!?

I like you tube but i can see the annoyances with the policies and for you page. If you click on one or two videos on accident then they will continue to pop up into your feed for weeks, its great that people can post what you want, but some of the weirdest things can be posted and then if you swear or do something un-citizen like you get demonetized. Probably happens for those videos too, but they still remain up.

These organizations are liable for lawsuits by their competitors that are having trouble to reach consumers at their extent and the Feds should penalize or seize the liable organizations for their questionable practices.

Particularly, these entities mentioned in the title are complicit to limit as much competition as possible by tampering into the market while not letting little guys (small companies) pick up traction. Some of the features such as the 'Shorts' came from a popular social media application.

Also, I read online that a company that starts with a 'G' owns YouTube is paying millions of dollars to Firefox for setting their search engine as default on their homepage. This is bribery.

They're deliberately engaged in a monopoly. The Antitrust Division should do its job on this tip.

YouTube Justifying Hate & Acts of Violence
November 7th, 2023
• Previous review

YouTube has recently sent content creator Steven Crowder and his crew a letter in which YouTube removed a video of him revealing the authentic manifesto of a individual that attacked a Presbyterian Christian school with innocent young children in Nashville.

The manifesto showcases the racism, resentment, jealousy, and hypocrisy towards an ethnicity.

The public was deliberately kept in the dark and have been demanding for the release for months after the tragedy since March 2023.

Disgustingly enough, the company of YouTube prefer the masses to be ignorant and want them to go along with their version of any narrative.

YouTube considered Steven Crowder in violation of their Violent Criminal Organizations Policy which I find ironic considering the fact that there are gangs, cartels, & mafias glorifying their lifestyle on the platform through videos.

These radical leftists that operate in YouTube are mad because one of their followers got exposed as a deranged killer. Their chaotic ideas are poison to the minds of ordinary people, those examples are destroying our society from this nasty culture that they exhibit. All it does is spread hate and division.

You are supposed to be able to record games and watch them later. I can only do that on my PC and NOT on my TVs. I have to watch the games live or settle on highlights that are brief. I used to be able to record all of the games that I want and watch them when I want. I've searched the internet for a solution and nothing will fix this. I haven't found a live body from YouTube to help out. Seems like everything is online and it doesn't work. Also, it's very difficult to use the (PC) fast forward in a way to rush through commercials. On DirecTV, there were none of these issues.

The translation of your text from Russian to English is: "The best video platform in the world, I can't put it any other way. Although I not only watch videos here, but also listen to music. I also recommend getting a subscription to watch without ads, especially since the price of $5/month is not that much.

Immoral, money hungry, uncaring. That's what YouTube is. They don't care at all about their creators or viewers who pay their bills and it's impossible to even contact someone for help because apparently they're too good to function like a normal company.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE AN ALTERNATIVE. I'm so tired of this place. Currently using ad blockers to ensure I don't ever give YouTube another penny. But really I want a whole new platform altogether. This place is horrible. Avoid it like the plague if you can.

Horrible people running this with no morals
