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.

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...

Youtube's Revenge
December 24, 2019

I deleted most of the crap videos YouTube slammed me with. So now they've blasted me with 40 or so videos I don't want and have taken away the option to delete. I also declined to subscribe. This company is mean, hateful and revengeful. What $#*!s.

Youtube shadowcensors
November 28, 2019

Youtube shadowcensors (similar to shadowban). In youtubes case, it applies to comments on videos. Whatever website you're on, log out and check your comment/content is still visible.

Facebook, twitter, huffington post, maybe others do it. Your comment is still visible when you are logged in to the account that made it, but isn't publically visible. In the UK "the election" is bringing out all sorts of dodgy website censorship practices.

Maybe more to come in this review later.

Why so many ads?
November 24, 2019

For a moment it's "okay" to watch an ad 5 times a day, but now it's getting insane! I understand advertising is a fundamental part of your website, but why you still show me the dang ad if I already told you it's repetitive?
It's hard to enjoy any video in your website now :(

Hate the new format
November 12, 2019

It used to be easy to go through YouTube to find specific singing auditions. Now it's just jumbled and so difficult to find the most recent clips.

I first joined YouTube in about 2009 and I have to say that it's not the same landscape as it was.

For one, there was the Google+ merger, which wasn't appreciated, at all.

Two, there was that Adpacalypse and the resulting rule changes didn't help. A lot of my favorite and very good YouTubers lost a good portion of their income. Sadly, them trying to go "family friendly" isn't working out.

Three, there has been some inherent biases towards bigger channels. Recently, a lot of people have lost their entire Google accounts after participating in livestream by Markiplier but, despite acknowledging that he broke the rules, Logan Paul was allowed to keep his channel. That's not even getting into the spam account or the animal/child abuse content problem (it took a PETITION to get ONE channel with such content removed).

You see, when I first joined the site, it was a fun and more relaxed place but, now, it's gone downhill and it's still going downhill. I wish we had some parts of old YouTube back, instead of an advertising platform that stifles its users.

Privacy issus

Everything is good, but the privacy isnt save at all, fingerprinting like history reading and more to identify the user makes you like a book.

AWFUL new design... etc.
September 30, 2019

A huge amount of advertising on video clips, sometimes you have to skip and refresh the page 4-5 times to skip, there are a lot of problems on the PC version, especially about the interface and design, they create a new large and inconvenient interface that is no longer needed by anyone, the old ( the classic mode) was perfect, it was beautiful, minimalistic and even in geometry, it could also be scaled up and down to fit any size of the monitor, but that's not all the problems, recently the function of internal chats on YouTube was removed, approximately 90% of users with "support.google.com" were opposed, but they still removed the chat feature. Do you think this is all a problem? (no), here's another one: on the YouTube page, where you see your recommendations and videos, the new YouTube design is now, and when we go to the creative studio, we see a partially new design, but if you go to some functions (for example: all broadcasts or phonetics) we'll see the old classic YouTube design, the question is why did Google roll out the unfinished design so which is worse than the old classic design?! In general, there are a lot of problems, I could still touch on the topic of "Live Broadcasts" and the chat, which starts to lag when you open the emoticons function, but this is a completely different story... :) (now I can conclude for myself, YouTube It was very cool right up to the moment when they added a new terrible and big design that is bloated to the full screen), thanks for reading my review, I indicated only a small part of the problems, but still, I hope this helped someone. (I'm a very old YouTube user)
