Actually they said I violated their policy, but how it's possible when there's no content on the channel? I'm just using it to watch videos and saved some music and video in the playlist.
At least they can explain why it was banned but I still think it's ridiculous.

Best video hosting website to date. Although poor email service between receives replies from Youtube staff. You can waste hours and hours of your day watching great videos, even containing movies which haven't been flagged and removed yet! Uploading videos to your channel is great and enjoyable if you have a lot of subscribers watching you. I have 2200+ at the moment and it can be very fun to interact with them. Been a member since Jan 2009 and some of the layouts on youtube have changed a lot sadly, I prefer the old style youtube, Old channel layout, 5 star rating system.

Despite a growing number of scam and attention-seeking videos, this is one of the best sites to find information on just about anything and see the latest music videos. Really love that they are offering movies now.

DIsappointed, sorry
March 6, 2024

I am... disappointed a bit, because once when i wanted to run my own blog in YT, they imposed ones of limitations on published content. That was the most disappointing thing, they either don't allow my video to get into recommendations section, or they just turn off monetization.
Overall, this platform is good for getting fame, look at guys like Mr.Beast or others. Nevertheless, there are many disadvantage which don't allow me to reveal my potential as a blogger. Perhaps, I will get along with them but not in the nearest future. So far I wrapped up my activity as a blogger, as number of subscribers and watches fell twice.

The comment section of YouTube has become a toxic cesspool of hatred and foul language on a lot of the videos. People have no manners or morals anymore and hide behind a computer screen thinking they can talk to people with the most rude vitriol, not caring or showing any once of remorse. Some replies contain hateful foul language along with other hateful things just for someone having an opinion on something. You could be being polite in a post and they still lash out with some nasty cuss word. YouTube does not block out cuss words or censor these hateful comments. You cannot delete or block these nasty comments either unless it is under your own video. No one should have to put up with such abuse and these comments should not be allowed to remain up. It has caused me to delete my youtube account and leave the platform all together.

Seriously who doesn't love this site?! Besides being the second biggest search engine, it has entertainment, information, ads that click on everyday, and very creative videos that I would always dream of watching. There's not one person that does not like it or even heard of this site. Keep it going youtube!

Alloy
May 24, 2015

I have been a shopper of alloy clothing and shoes for about 5 years now but recently I had such a bad experience with getting a return processes I will no longer shop with this store again. I returned a item in March and I didn't get a credit back until the end of May and they didn't credit all my money back. I was also upset because they never sent any notifications saying that they received my return or was going to refund my money... Very unprofessional

Missing movies
February 19, 2015

Youtube advertises movies that are not available except through a subscription through some other provider.

If they cant show the movie why do they advertise it.

Its very frustrating and annoying.

No one wants to hear "sorry the movie is not available" time and again.

BTS deserves better
February 28, 2020

They delete views that fans worked hard to get to show their appreciation for an artist with no basis whatsoever. There is video evidence of MILLIONS going missing/being deleted. Disappointing and disgusting. Give the views back or choke please:)

Do better.

Nazi censors
November 17, 2023

Be very careful what you write on YouTube comments. Because they'll allow some people to say a lot of things. But anytime you bash, YouTube or somebody, they're going to censor your comment and violate your First Amendment, right. So youtube is a pathetic piece of $#*! platform.

I have faced an issue in which I open up my undone project and it crash and close immediately. No matter how many times I update my graphic driver or restart my laptop it remains the same. So I have then contacted the supports to get help. After several solutions given at the end, I manage to open my project which I don't need to redo everything all over again. Thank god! Thanks, team for solving my problem patiently for me!

Not Clueless
July 19, 2017

I'm a gal who knew how to check fluids on my car, but that's about it.
Due to strict budget restraints, and thanks to YouTube videos, I have replaced my fuel filter, brake pads, and mass air flow sensor. Tune-up next!
I don't know what I would do without YouTube! Thanks!

I have been shadow banned because I tell it like it is, from the poor job joe Biden is doing to saying DNA proves there are only two genders. I guess you tube doesn't get truth. Whenever a lefty tries to say I'm delusional I come back with facts proving they are the delusional ones and my comments are removed. They are biased and untrustworthy.

Good
August 25, 2020

Youtube is perfect because there are lots of useful items in it. It shows every news, series, movies, and so on. Usually, all we ask is answered. The features are also good. If we are trying to know or understand it is a good thing about us. Using hands-on experience helps explain the definition.

There is no freedom of speech anymore. Say anything politically incorrect and your account gets banned and you get cancelled. Sadly this is the world we live in. Can't wait for these big tech companies to lose power. Can't wait for YouTube to die.

Alloy sucks
February 13, 2016

Alloy has lied to me several times, without regard for the fact that someone there used my credit card to make a purchased for someone across the country. I have spent thousands of dollars on their products… It is certainly not worth it looking back.…When they promised repeatedly to return my money. They never did. I had to dispute it with my bank for which they still have not done the right thing when they clearly stated they made the mistake. Now they have the nerve to send me a gift card forcing me to make purchases through them in they charged me. It is unacceptable I considered for giving the mistake and beginning to use their company again… I'm glad that I did not because their customer service screwed up again... and they still haven't returned my money. You trust them you're a fool like I was

YouTube is awful
August 27, 2022

After 20 years or more of using YouTube, they locked me out of my YouTube and yt music account without any reason. I've had it with them. Someone needs to come up with another platform to use because between YouTube and their bs, I've had enough. Lock me out of my account for no reason but they allow all sorts of horrible, horrible things be posted that you can watch, things I never ever imagined I would see. YouTube you suck, maybe I will be the one to come up with a new site and put your sorry, pathetic company out of business!

The ex ceo of YouTube was secretly fired because she misappropriated revenue to funnel her secret painkiller and gambling addiction. Stay tuned to YouTube as we will be posting a complete reveal of how she lied to an entire community, and committed several felonies in the process.

The service has a large amount of content for all the age groups and interests. At times videos get banned for nothing but seems they are working on this constantly. As a spectator - I say its good. The other side as a content maker can be different..
