reviews and complaints

I'm so upset, I clicked on a video and an ad came up for Harmful Opinions came up. It was a video about what black girls need to do in 2017 and it was extremely racist! It was about how black girls need to do stop using certain filters because they are "thots" and that they need to get out and get a job instead of being lazy. I did not specifically search up this video, YouTube allowed it to be an ad! This is absolutely atrocious and I can't believe the video hasn't been taken down let alone be used as an ad. Honestly, YouTube need to choose carefully what their ads are going to be, this is disgusting.

Have paid for a Fire Stick from them and have a purchased order number from there E-Mail but no product. It has been more then 4 months and no reply. Have e-mail them but no reply again. Please help to solve my pruchase. Should you be able to contact them with any type of e-mail or phone number please contact me to follow up on this. Thank You ( My E-Mail is. [protected]@yahoo.com)

Honestly speaking, i'm quite sick of this repeated commercial of neulasta onpro kit on youtube. My 2 years old is watching youtube for his favorite rhymes and this neulasta ad comes up every few minutes. I know advertisements help youtube to keep running. But repeated telecast of neulasta onpro kit is very annoying. May i request youtube to remove neulasta onpro kit advertisement from youtube. Thank you.

Dec 4, 2016 received notification from unknown party, I i. D. As vaanga pesalam who sent me a video/link in? East indian language?. I don't know them or asked for the video, nor did I ever visit their youtube site.

Are they just trying to pad their "view count"?

This has happened to me before and youtube got rid of the spammers.

Nobody appreciates unsolicited contacts.

I have heard some disturbing information on how YouTube has been recently run. Certain channels have been receiving backlash within the past year on your newer algorithm. Viewers have randomly been unsubscribed from channels they watch and YouTubers have had their videos pushed to the bottom after releasing because the algorithm deems them not "interesting" enough which is suffocating and killing channels. On top of that, certain notifications of new videos for certain YouTubers aren't showing up in viewers feeds leading them to believe that the YouTuber hasn't made videos for long periods of times when they have. This is deplorable and YouTube needs to take action and protect their people. To see a video of someone affected and who gathered evidence on the issue, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIzgnUTql8

Thank you,

I deleted my video in "Favorites" suddenly Youtube said "Deleted video from uploads"

I've had many views on that video and now it's gone. A bit strange for a big company to have such a amateurish flaw.

I was on my Samsung S6 Edge plus (Android 6.0.1) and had the video in ''Favorites'' I thought that wasn't necessary so I deleted the video in ''Favorites'' but before I knew the Youtube App says ''Deleted video from ''Uploads''

Photo 1: When I tried to delete the video out of my favorites then it's suddenly removed from my ''Uploads''

This should be solved

Since Youtube instituted its improvements I have had increasingly frequent instances of being unable to hear/barely hear Youtube videos that are my primary use of internet. This issue affects only Youtube as I have not noticed this problem with other websites. I have tried adding external speakers and sound adjustable earbuds. These are NOT helpful.
I pay for wireless internet but it seems Youtube is designed for the hearing impaired. Captions are not helpful as they rarely match the audible words of the speakers/narrators, even when both are English speakers. Does Youtube expect viewers to use captions to substitute for spoken words? Unacceptable if true.
I don't believe this problem originates with my device. This is a new computer and the identical sound problem occurred with my previous machine. My current machine is a different brand than previous one.
PLEASE help me to get this problem resolved. I love my Youtube but I am not prepared to view Silent Youtube Movies/Videos, this is the 21st Century. You guys can fix this; please help me. Laura Cullen

I made a channel on YouTube and uploaded some videos. Most of my videos were covers of the famous songs which I made myself. I got banned for it. I mean that they banned my videos because there were famous songs in them. I'm aware of all the rights and I know what is allowed and what is not! There are many channels on YouTube with covers, so why did they banned mine? I just don't get it. When I contacted YouTube customer service they did not reply. I'm so disappointed!

Many times I have complained as to why the volume on all videos is set to full boar? It is ridiculous. Youtube are assaulting people by destroying eardrums and speakers.

Let's take for example a news website that has a video attachment. This video takes time to buffer, and without warning you are blasted with extremely loud music or news announcers, while reading the article.

This could scare the heck out of an elderly person, damage eardrums, and blow speakers. Why should youtube do this? Why not set the volume to 25% allowing the consumer to operate their control over this.

I have my main pc volume set to 25% to 50% depending on what I am doing at the time. I then have wmp set low and my pc speakers set to about half, yet youtube still blasts my life apart.

It is cause for a class action. No person has their volume set to full on anything they use except youtube in all their wisdom. We can always turn the volume up but to turn it down is always too late, always.

I'm about to file a complain against Youtube because I feel like money is being taken under the table to boost views on certain korean music videos.

You have a group that people are watching the videos everyday and the view counts are moving super slow... Meanwhile top company groups music videos drops and gets higher views at record time...It does not make sense. How does one group hit 32M in 4 days, while it's taking another group to hit 2M in 3 weeks.

I don't think it's fair to fans when you allow things like this to happen. Why slow down a one groups view countsand not the other...money is talking and it's wrong. Stop playing favorites for money Youtube!

Come on, your ads suck. Can you at least try to make your ads appealing to me? I just sat through ad (not for the first time I might add) that was supposed to highlight your new music service. Show me something at least tangentially related to video I'm watching, please? Don't show me someone walking through the halls of a school, singing along to a rap video when I'm trying to watch a metal video. Especially since A) She's not in right genre for what I'm listening to, and B) She looks an a**hole for singing along to her music player in the hallway of appears to be a school. I went to highschool. The people who sang in hallway to their mobile music players (whatever the form of the device actually used) were universally a**holes. You're not making me want to download/use/buy your product. You're just pissing me off. Get a better ad that relates to me, or show a different ad, maybe one not YouTube related so you actually make some money off of it. Come on guys. I have faith that you can do better. Please, prove me right. Stop the dumb stuff and give me ads that I have at least a chance of paying attention to. I know you have my information, why not use it?

Rant is over, I know you reading this are not personally responsible for the ad, and thus I wish you the best. But if you complained to your boss's boss, I would in fact, be grateful.

Thanks,
Me (you know who I am)

YouTube is not a fair company. They claim they are against bullying, etc. Well a youtuber that goes by the vegan ceetahs channel has been suspended due to gals copyright claims. Within twelve hours his channel was taken down with no chance to fight it at all. This is because of freelee the banana girl. She does illegal things on YouTube has so many complaints yet her channel is still up. And smaller channels gets taken down because she does everything to silence them. They allow her to make false claims. Its disgusting that YouTube puts up and supports this kind of behavior. Seems like they care more about who make them money then values and whats right. YouTube do your job and do it right. If you take smaller channels down then you need to take freelee and durianriders channels down. This is not fair.. I hope you reinstate vegan cheetahs channels and other smaller youtubes channels and start doing your job and not care so much about the money. If not I hope all these youtubers sue you and freelee. YouTube is a joke.

Somehow my 15 year old son used his email account and my credit card to charge $9.99 for something that I don't even know what twice. I am trying to cancel the transaction but it wont let me because I don't know his password and he said he doesn't know it. I have no phone number or address for YouTube and I'm asking you to look into this matter for me so that I can cancel this membership or whatever it is. I am on a fixed income and I don't have extra money to waste on things that I didn't authorize. My son doesn't even play his Xbox one because I don't have internet. Please take care of this matter for me. Thank you very much. Darlene Null, 305 Cedar Street, Johnstown, PA [protected]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I think there should be skip button on every ad you play before a video especially if the ad is over thirty seconds long. If I see an ad I think is interesting, I will sit there and watch it, but if it has nothing to do with my interests then I should be able to skip it. I think youtube watchers should able to skip ads that don't pertain to what they like. I'm not saying tho get rid of ads all together because I know that how y'all make money and I have sat their and watched that I like and genuinely catch my attention. Adding a skip to every video would allow y'all's viewer to pick and choose what ads they want to watch. I know y'all have Youtube Red which allows to you to not have ads but I am a college kid who needs to use that ten dollars to eat. I loves y'alls content and watch youtube everyday, I will continue to do so but I wish that I could just skip those pesky ads.

I love to sing and I wanted to share my singing with the world. So I decided to make a channel on YouTube. I uploaded some covers and even songs that were written by me. But one day, when I wanted to upload a new video I saw that most of my videos were blocked. I received a notification that they were blocked for copyright infringement. What? How is that even possible? I was just taking videos of myself singing! I never wanted to make money or something, I had less than 100 subscribers. That is not fair!

Youtube had me sign an agreement to take 30% of video rental fees, and I would get the rest. Youtube is manipulating how many times they are rented, keeping it all, and trying to steal all of the revenue from my rentals. I cannot fathom this and this is my 2nd attempt at the complaint. It's so ridiculous to steal from the people that have channels.

With all of the money Youtube is making, why do this? It's so ridiculous and they have taken what would be a good thing, and made it a nightmare all out of greed? Not sure why.

I want to get this fixed and be paid in full for all of the rentals since I started this, and they were the ones that offered it to me and I have been renting them a bunch.

I have taken screen shots of the comments on twitter thanking me for the video information, and for when they have been rented. I have stopped making them because Youtube is stealing the money and I am about to get a lawyer or ask to start a class action law suit becuase they must be doing this to everyone.

You need to pay me for the rentals since I started, and all you have showing up are 5 rentals out of 79 videos over 3 months, and all of them have been rented an abudance of times, this is insane and such a tragic thing to do to a person.

I can't even fathom anything thinking I am that stupid that what I have done I would not have a handle on. And I have read that Youtube retaliates, and tries to harm the channel if you speak up, And that's even worse, but I want to be paid and make this grow, however, we are not partners if you are stealing, and taking it all.

Please fix this and put the money into my account and pay me for the 3 months of rentals.

I have 65mbps service from Charter and your videos load slow as hell. In 2016, I expect loading speeds to be faster than my first time having s**. It frustrates me that I can download a song in one second but a two minute YouTube video lags the entire way through. YouTube is a cornerstone in user content and I have been a fan since since your service first started. Please take this complaint as some motivation to provide your users with the quality content you once provided. I am more than disappointed in what YouTube has become.

Certain videos that have Vevo and UMG content cannot be viewed as of today, February 2, 2016 on the Rainy Mood website. However, yesterday I was able to view these same videos on this same website. It is very disappointing that they cannot be viewed, and it would be convenient if Rainy Mood can use these videos. It would be helpful if you can define your reasons of disconnecting this site from the rest of the sites able to view these videos.
In addition to this, it is imperative that you negotiate with Facebook on how they and their users are stealing YouTubers' profits because, if you think about it, should you really focus your attentions on getting rid of video playback on sites virtually harmless to YouTubers' salaries rather than Mark Zuckerburg's creation of an organization of pirates? If so, I can see why many people are having to buy contracts to upload to YouTube--to reimburse you and the YouTubers for the money they are losing to Facebook and pirates.
Please consider resolving these issues or else I will go to Vimeo--as so many other protesters have already done.

Rewceived notice I was no longer able to use You tube because I took credit for writing a song I had nothing to do with. The complaint is totally false and I have no idea where it came from. Why was there no investigation? Yahoo put me in a position of being guilty without any review of the complaint which is false. All you had to do was look at the record label. My name is on the label as composer of the song. At the time recording was made I was playing in a band called the Lazy Eggs. We were managed by a producer named Bob Schwartz. Co-producer was Robin Seymour, a radio dic-jockey out of Windsor, Canada. So here I sit having to live with false statements that got me booted off of You Tube. This is not fair and Yahoo ought to feel the shame of what they have done which is protect a liar.
