Deleted channels
February 8, 2023

They delete channels that don't deserve it like berleezy and they show obvious favoritism. YouTube has very strict guidelines but sometimes they're overly strict even for kids older enough to know better and pick appropriate videos

I pay for YouTube Premium and YouTube TV. Both have been buffering repeatedly for just the last 6 months. Neither of them did this before. None of the "troubleshooting" recommendations work. Nothing else I stream has any problems whatsoever, only YouTube/YouTubeTV. I have sent in feedback on their feedback link many, many times, but they never respond or fix any of the problems. These problems are on their end, not mine. I have seen many comments from others with this same problem. You need to fix this, YouTube. But, of course, you don't think you have to. You do not give a damn about what anyone thinks of your products as long as you keep collecting your billions. This is so not right.

We just love this live version of Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita' featuring gypsy rockers Gogol Bordello.

We have watched it endlessly. We also were inspired to check out some of Gogol Bordello's other work, and particularly liked 'Start wearing purple' and 'Not a crime'.

SoNuker
July 11, 2023

SoNuker offers an innovative approach to social media growth with an emphasis on YouTube. The user interface is intuitive, and their services have potential. However, their effectiveness can vary, and a more transparent communication about potential risks would enhance user confidence. Overall, it's a viable tool for aspiring YouTubers.

The algorithm can be improved. Youtube shows video recommendations based on IP, which is not very appropriate.In an office where many people have same IPs, if one person would watch NSFW video, it will show similar videos as recommended videos to every other person.

If all you want is to upload and share only what you've filmed, YouTube is a great place to do it.

Unfortunately, they now censor a number of things for copyright violation when they really have no legal need to do so. So if you're into music video remixing, voice acting for animation, or anything similar, you're better off posting your material elsewhere.

Down Fall of Youtube
November 25, 2021

So YouTube has removed The dislike count, although creators of YouTube, stood against it, YouTube! Your website is about creators doing content, and your not listening to them. YouTube is becoming a brainless place and is following the trend of quantity over quality, so advertisers can put more $#*! on and get paid. YouTube is no longer a place of inspiration or fun, it's now a brainless place where the person getting more clicks, off of baiting or false advertisement. Kinda sad ngl...

Youtube is Corrupt
October 4, 2022

You can no longer have a channel on youtube that allows you to be speak truthfully without getting cancelled. In all honesty youtube is falling from the throne it held for so long. It all started when they started striking channels and demonetizing them because they are not making content fro children. But this is a platform used globally by kids and adults equally. People used to be able to say whatever they pleased on this platform let it be satire, someones opinion, and or true facts about the world. Now you can't do anything without having to worry about getting cancelled!

YouTube is the best. It has videos for everybody, on every subject (as long as its not too naughty).
It has millions of people uploading videos and billions watching them.
Here are some of the good points.
Its free, Its fast, a wide range of videos, good search facility, good for all ages, its entertaining, its a good reference source, easy to navigate.

And the bad points
Open to offensive abuse and arguments, copyright issues, some boring videos, your favourite videos can be removed.

Overall - The best.

Censorship
April 4, 2022

Enough "Youtube" that isn't really Youtube, but Demtube. Who are you to censor personal opinion and only allow it with countervailing views? Never, and I mean, never looking at any content on your site again! Free Speach, means free for all, not just those that agree with you.

I usually use my phone to access YouTube, but it's a great site, never bored! The only bad things are that there are videos that you can't access on mobile (a lot of lyric/ music videos are like this) and the ads that you can't skip.

Bad business
December 28, 2019

They advertise jeans on sale, let you order & then don't bother to let you know, until I inquired about it, that they had to cancel part of order because of, " computer issues". Then insult you with a sorry excuse of a 30% discount which is only a few dollars off.
I totally agree with others,,, there are others sites that actually know how to treat their customers... I noticed that they have down sized alot,,,, Guess that what happens when your going out of business, which shouldn't be long treating customers this way...

I bought 3 pants from Alloy thinking they were all good prices and extra long for my long legs so why not! I got them in the mail and tried them on. Horrible quality. The pants were all awkwardly fit and the colors were cheaper looking than showed in the catalog. Worst of all, I paid almost $13 for shipping and handling and then had to pay another $7 to ship the items back! I called customer service and the lady said that they charge for shipping if you send the items back and it's non refundable. What a rip off! So if a customer isn't satisifed with an item, they still lose more money just trying to send the item back! This place is a scam. No wonder they haven't opened up a real store. Their stuff is cheap quality and NOT worth the price

Used to be better.
December 24, 2021

Youtube is becoming worse and worse by the year for the users. They removed the old useful space efficient layout, they hide comments and now they even hide dislikes because of "reasons". Only reason is the need to get more money and please the corporations from bad PR by hiding the people's dislike to the things they make. The changes don't help the users in any way.

YouTube sucks
October 24, 2023

You can't watch or listen to anything on YouTube without constant ads,commercials or other interruptions. I'm all done. I can get the same stuff all over the net without the nonsense ads and commercials. YouTube is making money off other people's content and revenue from ads. Well not from me they aren't.

New Ad Policies
October 26, 2023

The new ad policies blocking users from viewing content due to adblockers and adjacent plugins have been one of the worst decisions they have made. You cant continue to watch any videos once they block the account for ad blockers. Save to say I'm not using chrome and I can get by without youtube.

They removed dislikes on comments and videos, put these annoying ads on literally every video with 1 thousand or more views even if you are not verified. I can't watch a YouTube short without getting a ad. Like YouTube you already have ads on regular videos. Sometimes I get weird Anime ads and people literally upload YouTube videos containing 18+ content [not all people on YouTube are like that]. Not only that but YouTube isn't doing anything to fix this.
