All the Ads!
June 22, 2017

Gosh. I used to spend a lot of time watching good content created by other users. Now I get all these ads for like 3 minute video. It is so frustrating. I get that they want to make more money but come on... I just hate to see all these ads popping up!

Ok
March 23, 2024

YouTube is my go-to platform for video content. Whether I'm looking for educational tutorials, entertaining vlogs, or music videos, YouTube has it all. The user-friendly interface and personalized recommendations make it easy to discover new content. I also appreciate the diverse community of creators and the ability to interact through comments and likes

I know they have to pay the bills but recently youtube has become nothing but ads. They show an ad within an ad. Its so bad the ads are longer than the freaking content. I will just watch Netflix now forget it. Please don't fall asleep watching it, they will play a 2 hour commercial on your $#*!

It's ok, sold out
March 19, 2018

Youtube was great in the beginning, and that's not to say it doesn't have great original content nowadays either, but all of the new material is recycled off the old material like some sort of perpetually disgusting garbage dump.

You are supposed to be able to record games and watch them later. I can only do that on my PC and NOT on my TVs. I have to watch the games live or settle on highlights that are brief. I used to be able to record all of the games that I want and watch them when I want. I've searched the internet for a solution and nothing will fix this. I haven't found a live body from YouTube to help out. Seems like everything is online and it doesn't work. Also, it's very difficult to use the (PC) fast forward in a way to rush through commercials. On DirecTV, there were none of these issues.

I'm almost forty years old and on this app you have to type in explicit version because YouTube only plays the clean version. And to me that is highly annoying especially when driving or at work. So I won't use this app anymore for music at all. And I used it for years. I went to i heart radio, and I'm so much happier. This is a real music app and it's dedicated to Playing great music all the time. See ya later YouTube!

I have been very right sided in my comments lately. But have never threatened or harrased anyone. But youtube decides im posting hate speech politics for my views. It is my right to say how I feel without being violent or a bully. Which I did. Stop stomping on my constitutional rights

You know it all...
April 8, 2018

YouTube is the name that everybody knows. So, I don't think I need to explain anything about it.

However, for creators, YT has become a $#*! job. The policies are killing the small, growing creators!

And the other thing about YT is, no matter how slow the internet is, YT is comparatively 10 times smooth as compared other websites in my region!

ARE THEY JOKING?!?!
March 22, 2020

The ads have become a big tremendous problem overall the entire website! They have made all the ads up to 1 minute and now I can not even watch a good video without getting interrupted. Such a shame that my once escape to the world has now been shattered towards this tragedy! I am now deleting it!

YouTube used to be so much better, but I have almost completely stopped watching anything on it due to the ads. There are ads every 5 seconds and now, even as the video is playing. Ridiculous! YouTube should be ashamed on itself.

I have it bad for youtube. I find my self visiting youtube daily as people but old and new videos hourly. Performers are also using youtube to rally fans so you can see very interesting videos. My favorite are just regular people showing off for the youtube. I just ask youtube to be strict with limiting violence and the crazy people hurting things and posting... I hate that and it should be punished by law. A lot of criminals are posting to youtube and going to jail... yeah!

Nice platform
December 8, 2023

The translation of your text from Russian to English is: "The best video platform in the world, I can't put it any other way. Although I not only watch videos here, but also listen to music. I also recommend getting a subscription to watch without ads, especially since the price of $5/month is not that much.

Media spin
December 9, 2020

YouTube seems to only want a certain narrative on their platform. That is a huge red flag in my opinion and as a result I will be finding other platforms to use. Admittedly it will take time till I am fully off YouTube but as things are going I think I will be off of it completely within the year.

As a United States citizen free speech is very important to me and if a platform fails to offer that then they failed to offer anything worth while.

My son loves the pink fong kids videos. When he has watched them lately there has been a horror movie advertisement that comes up frequently. Really YouTube? How is that appropriate for a 1 year old child to see. Very disappointed and will be watching our kid videos elsewhere from now on.

It was good until...
November 4, 2022

I used to loved YouTube until they started putting 2 unskippable ads in videos every three minutes. Even when it's just 1 unskippable ad it still makes me mad because on a 15 minute video there are over 80 ads! Also they let so many channels slide like Spam channels and That vegan teacher. Please fix your website.

YouTube is a solid site with a lot of videos on it. There's likely something for everyone. I tend to watch a lot of learning channels more than anything else, but it's an excellent way to pass some time if you're bored. I wouldn't recommend spending your entire day there, though. Remember, we should live life vicariously through the internet.
