YouTube Reviews Summary

YouTube's reputation is increasingly marred by customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to excessive advertisements and perceived censorship. Users express frustration over the platform's reliance on ads, which disrupt viewing experiences and lead many to consider alternatives. Complaints about account suspensions and a lack of transparency regarding community guidelines further exacerbate concerns about customer service. While some users appreciate the vast array of content available, the overall sentiment indicates a growing discontent with YouTube's management practices, prompting calls for more user-friendly policies and a potential shift to competing platforms.

When I search up something on YouTube it never gives me videos just what other people searched and even if I click on them It never shows me the videos of what I want. This makes me mad because I can't see Videos on how to do stuff.

Youtube is so unfair to BTS. They always freeze and delete our views but don't do it to other groups.#YouTubeIsOverParty

While youtube continues to promote far left hate speech such as BLM, it has repeatedly banned and slandered anti-communists from its platform.

Youtube is very biased politically. Many of my comments get deleted, and there are no foul language in my writing. There are no freedom of speech in Youtube, it's worse than the communist. Very disappointed.

Racist
June 8, 2020

You tube only wants to show one side. They let's leftist groups post whatever they want and those who are from the right gets hit. Why does youtube or anybody else play the left and right bs game? We all are AMERICANS we should all be one not divided. This crap needs to stop before all rights are taken. I would give youtube -300 BUT CANT. What happened youtube? Don't you know what you are doing is also going to affect your family's also? Maybe you just dont care and care about money more."WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SEE WHATS REALLY GOING ON BEFORE IT'S TO LATE".

The worst ever! Their copywrite claims on my own created music, background radio and event music, and music that is free to use thru the editing software companies and paid for they made claims on. Hi jacked my videos by NOT allowing me to mute replace the music or trim should be reason for a Class action lawsuit. I'm trying to build views for monetizing and YouTube partnership f$&@ it. Go with $#*!ute instead don't use YouTube. I have tried disputing as the music company making the claims have made a deal with the artist after the artist gave rights to Powerdirector, wondershare, Videoleap etc. YouTube declined and won't let me fix it!

Bored
June 5, 2020

The only reason I like youtube is because I'm so bored. I'm almost 12, and I don't have any electronic belongings besides a school chromebook that breaks down. Good thing is, new Youtube videos are easy to find is you just subscribe to a few channels. And I got 3-7 new videos that I can watch each day besidesother old ones. It is a good entertainment besides, board games, practicing violin (and piano) and other activites...

Mr. Sundar is the CEO of Google. Flood his office with complaints about the monkey business being conducted at Google as it relates to mixing lists of Black videos with primates. The problem continues to exist as of 5/25/2020. His contact information is as follows:

Email: (The moniker above)@google.com
Website: https://www.google.com
Social Media: Google
Postal Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA *******

Postscript: Five thousand people viewed my original review (which appears below this one) concerning this subject. For some reason, when I updated the information, the views disappeared. Nevertheless, there must be some merit to my complaint about YouTube because over nine thousand individuals have seen the updated version of it. The reality is that the laws and policies in societies can be changed, but the ways that humans think and feel about each other can be as fixed as cement. Update: Along with YouTube, Peacock T.V.com ( an online site connected to NBC) has decided to present racist material. The photo could not be rotated, but Lester Holt ( who works for NBC) is photographed next to Curious George, the animated monkey.

"YouTube's Computerized Racism"
June 21, 2019
Previous review

4/4/19
Whenever you scroll through its content, you may discover that YouTube has developed some kind of algorithmic way of mixing websites that contain information concerning gorillas and monkeys with sites regarding Black people. I have reported this problem to the company, but nothing has been done about it. Welcome to "the new normal" type of racism.

It's gotten so just looking for a new posting has become next to impossible. Posts for 4, 5, 6 even 7 years ago pop up. Is it all just machines replaying and replaying videos we have seen much too often. ARE THERE NO MODS?

Constant unjust demonetisation of content channels because of political reasons, censorship of free speech but allowing others to produce disinformation in exchange of money especially if it against white people or if the racial hatred it aimed at white males.

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.

YouTube is a great website with billions of content that can take your mind off of certain things. It's a great website to have a good laugh of. But lets get on the bad side. The whole Demonetization thing is bad, Coppa is awful, and months ago the law in Europe. There are a lot of things that slips past the bots at youtube. Like an animal abusing video. I've seen those fully Monetized, Age-Restricted but still being able to be watched. YouTube needs to fix that badly.

Youtube now is become useless WHY?
The reason is can longer view the videos in HD or I may say not at least 720kbps. It's completely ridiculous and horrified.
Using the advanced tech. Mobile, lap, tab this devices supports all of every definition but youtube DON'T!
SAME LESS!

Just like facebook, at first they make people depend on them and then when people gave up other alternatives, they start censoring and deleting. They start allowing people only to watch and see what they want people to believe and watch. Specially during this COVID Crisis, they allow Bill Gates, WHO, Fauci to deliver harmful massages and allow CNN to lie almost everyday but they take down reports and research from doctors who have legitimate concerns and want to help people.
