There are numerous reasons that this site is a good one... the first being the music videos. They have just about everything when it comes to music. The next thing would be the channels where you can watch anything and everything from commercials, movie clips and much more to people having a video blog. The one thing I do not like though, are all of the ads but if you can deal with them then you're golden!

Disappointed
February 28, 2020

Overall, my hope is Youtube will improve. The concept is great. However, my latest experience has left me disappointed with Youtube. I saw for myself significant streams deleted from total count, comments section freezing after a single like of a comment, and I am concerned regarding the ads if we are able to skip or if we do if our activity is disregarded from counts. I could go on bur for now these are my top concerns.

Neal is so fat
November 2, 2023

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 spite of the fact that YouTube has been around for years and bursting with creative videos from independent creators, it has decided to become the next "Netflix". Which is $#*!ed as they were in business well before Netflix and are just shooting themselves in the foot for trying to be something they are not, and never will be. The site is going to complete $#*! and its no longer worth using this site for entertainment. I suggest you go watch some Netflix instead, at least they still have creative, and not sold out originals unlike this $#*!ty site.

Youtube will allow anything online. It doesn't matter if the video has violence, language, hate speech, nudity, or anything else. The only stuff it removes is Copyrighted Videos & Music. It claims to have "Community Guidelines" but they are never enforced. Want to advocate the death of innocent people? Go ahead. Want to stalk someone on Youtube? Be free. Want to copy someone's account & slander their name? Have fun. Just don't put anything copyrighted on there. That's the only thing that they actually care about.

I haven't had anything good to say about YouTube for years. It is so hard to give the benefit of the doubt regarding a platform that cares more about making a few cents from advertisers than its users! The website has an issue of not communicating with its own employees let alone with the top creators, who then can inform everyone else.

The customer service is also terrible in regards to how buggy the whole platform is on any device. I wish it was actually user error, I wish clearing cache and "turning it off and on again" actually fixed anything. If only it was as simple as slow internet speeds and sucking it up. No! It has to do with the way the website is coded and there hasn't been any signs of it being fixed.

Cute videos but
November 13, 2020

Just another media that promotes police brutality and white supremacy. You will be insulted by every miscreant in the country and if you fire back, you get banned. I would highly suggest boycotting google

If I could give 0 stars I would. Got suspended after I got 1000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours. Saying I violated some form of terms of service, didn't say what I did wrong just suspended. I feel like suing, this is discrimination. Just so youtube don't have to pay me ad revenue.
And to make matters worse I've had that channel since 2016 too.
My channel is still up on youtube, just can't sign in. Link is in below: https://www.youtube.com/c/DustyOrchid057

YouTube is racist
June 27, 2021

YouTube will not allow me to delete my account. Reason for this is because I am a white republican male. That makes youtube racist against whites, politically prejudice, and sexist against men. YouTube sucks.

A very good video hosting website. Where you can watch anything you can such as movies, clips, music videos and etc.

If you have problems on anything such lessons or what else you can/can't do, you'll just simply search here for tutorials. Easy to access. Enjoy Watching! :)

Too much censorship
November 23, 2023

They've become too nit picky lately, and do not seem to know the definition of harassment or bullying. They want all comments to be kissy kissy fake $#*! and I will not comply. YouTube can go straight to hell. Wish there was a - star button, as they don't deserve 1 star.

Extortion
September 3, 2023

When Google acquired YouTube, they ripped me off. I had bought hundreds of albums o Googleplay, all filed on my Android phone which I could listen to anytime without a connection "above." Now, in order hear them, I need to pay a subscription for YouTube.
There's a word for this...

Horrible company policy and customer service. I have been ordering with Alloy for years. However, after today I'm done with them. I exchanged two pairs of jeans that were damaged and defective for two different pairs of equal value. They did not apply the original discount and charged me extra. To make matters worst, when I called them no one was willing to help me. For the most part they have good product but when my patronage as a customer isn't valued I will no longer spend money with a company. I am highly disappointed Alloy!

I'm on you tube all the time. It's got some great producers in the things I like watching, and there is some useful educational material.
The ads are annoying, since they interrupt the viewing, and are never interesting.
I like the way the site seems to feed me with new videos, and a lot of it isn't wrong. There's some Junk on there too, not always linked to the number of likes or views. But that's the downside of the web. Mostly it's very positive. I don't need a TV anymore.

Youtube is dying
September 16, 2022

As a dying platform I was hit with multiple with community guideline strikes. They doin't care about content creators. They don't care about all the hard work we put into our videos. The same videos that are taken down, the same videos are still up on Youtube by other content creators. Its clear to me that the Youtube team does not care about their content creators. Google in general has major issues and I will no longer consume content on that platform.

It's disgusting that you choose to advertise horror movies on your youtube station not considering the specific market segment that is negatively affected by the horrifying images that affect our health. You should consider your users' search results before you decide to include terrible advertisements to every user. What if it was a 5 year old watching a kids video on YouTube?

The comment sections are terrible. They are filled with 1. Kids posting overused, unfunny, unoriginal copy paste comments 2. More overused stuff (memes, jokes, etc) 3. On some videos you will find racism, sexism, etc while mysteriously on some other videos you will find intense anti racism and anti sexism. So the website is like a minefield, you decide whether you want the chance to see some scarring, nasty hate comments or get *slightly* more faith in humanity. 4. Rabid fans who will attack if they don't see something they like

Placed an order on March 16,2016 and status always says "in warehouse". After 10 days without a notice saying out for shipment, I emailed customer service 2 times and was told it would ship right out. It is now 19 days and it took 2 phone calls to finally be told that the order was misplaced and all but 2 items were now out of stock. I will never shop here again!

Based on the reviews I was scared that my jeans will arrive late and they would come in really low quality fashion. They came yesterday Nov, 7,2014 and they are spot on with timing, length and everything I asked for. But I'm afraid the quality is just mediocre one wash and they would shrink. One of my jeans smelled really bad of factory machinery. But other than that I finally have a pair long enough for my legs. It was an ok experience. I will give another review after 60 days to tell you if my jeans put up with the wash and if the color is still vibrant.
