YouTube gaming videos

I usually watch You tube on the ps4 it works really nicely . Unfortunately for me and probably not just me either I was looking through categories which is often gaming and got a shot of the final boss video for God of war .I did not appreciate this and wish that people were more careful about this . Although this would be interesting for some im not at the ending of the game yet and i really didn't like getting a picture of the games final boss. This kind of video should be left blank while browsing until you choose to watch it . Thanks and have a good day Nathan .

YouTube channel terminations, censorship

Over the past week my community has gotten beat down by YouTube. When channels with 15k subscribers are getting pulled down without warning and without any previous strikes or warnings, its obvious YouTube has became a bought out shill company that only cares about money. You have proven over and over again that the content creators don't matter to you unless you're making money from them. Eventually someone will make a better platform and you are going to loose millions of way here because of the clear bias. People are scared their channels are going to be randomly pulled down and their years of work will be for nothing. Quit being a bully to us and our vaping videos, we aren't hurting anyone, we don't allow under age activity, and none of us have done anything wrong. Also quit pulling random channels for cbd reviews, CBd is legal in 50 states but if you still want to be an [censored] at least give the people a warning. I will be searching for a new platform to tell everyone about until you start proving you care about the creators and not just MONEY.

YouTube youtube kids channel ryan toys review

I was surprised that this channel that used to be about toys for kids is no longer for kids anymore. At least is not a content for minor kids. I saw videos with violence and Guns toys promotion mixed with toys for toddlers. I already blocked this channel but I felt safe with my kid watching at this channel until I watched with him some videos and realized how far is this Ryan now as what He supposed to be and seems that his channel is still rated or related with content that is not about toddlers anymore.

Totally agree. My 5 yr old wants to mix household chemicals and has had nightmares from all the non toddler related material being pushed onto them by this kids mother. There is also no way to complain which makes it even worse.

YouTube video tampering

I uploaded a video of a mountain view and over the last month the clairity of the video has drastically changed for the worse. Please don't give me some [censored] excuse about how videos don't retain their quality once uploaded. I watched the video many times and it was fine, but it has recently changed. I know it was deleberate and intentional due to the nature of the video. I demand that it is fixed immediately or I will persue legal action. Thank you for your concern.

YouTube youtube censorship and its political bias

Please treat this as a formal complaint. You are censoring videos promoting the World Naked Bike Ride campaign, which promotes healthy lifestyles and attitudes around the world. I have just had three popular videos restricted so clearly some repressive force of evil is trying to stifle our worthy campaign. In parallel to this I have spent many hours reporting to you outright theft of my videos whereby many exact copies are re-broadcast under many other accounts - and you never take any action even where an account is rampantly copying other people's intellectual property. You just dodge the issue.

You are setting out to kill our campaign. Amongst our themes is the de-sensationalisation of the act of having a human body. So what do you do? You classify that as adult content. So what next? People who like adult content look at our videos and think it's totally uninteresting. People our messages are aimed at never watch it because you've labelled it as adult content.

There is no doubt that YouTube is on the side of the bad guys. I don't understand how such an important player in mass media can get away with being so evil. It's an outrage.

YouTube intrusive ad apr 22nd, sports

You are carrying an insulting and sexist advert for a fitness watch which pictures only young women, all of whom are superfit. There is one man in the advert who appears for a split second as the beaten opponent of one of these wretched little girls in a tennis game. This is a deeply misandrist ad and I intend to use vimeo until it is removed or I have heard its authors have been reprimanded

YouTube youtube fortnite video gamers videos

These videos attract viewing from young children and are filled with vial cussing using the "f bomb" repeatedly.
Please take action to allow warning before viewing, bleeping our swear words or set viewer ratings for your videos for content eg G, PG, M, MA+, R ratings seen on all other viewing content.
This way I as a concerned parent can restrict my children's exposure to this foul language.

YouTube suspension of account activity

YouTube suspended my account based on the following description:

"spam, scams or commercially deceptive content."

Spam is largely defined as the practice of:
1. Spam is a term used to refer to junk email. Various federal and state laws, which vary by state, regulate spam. The main federal legislation is the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-187), which took effect on January 1, 2004.
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act requires unsolicited commercial e-mail messages to be labeled (though not by a standard method) and to include opt-out instructions and the sender's physical address. It prohibits the use of deceptive subject lines and false headers in such messages. The FTC is empowered to establish a "do-not-email" registry. State laws that require labels on unsolicited commercial e-mail or prohibit such messages entirely are pre-empted, although provisions merely addressing falsity and deception would remain in place.
Additional Definitions -Spam:
Spam is a slang term that describes unsolicited commercial advertisements sent by e-mail over the Internet. Spam, which can be used as a noun or as a verb, is also known as junk e-mail or unsolicited bulk e-mail.
Since no such violations were made appropriate to the majority of how Various federal and state laws, which vary by state, regulate spam I intend to subpoena the documents from YouTube that descriptively and without reasonable doubt show a breach in the agreed upon terms YouTube had also entered in agreement with me the user upon which time a lawsuit may be filed based on the findings.

YouTube anti-semitic commentary on youtube

This commentary on Youtube is anti-semitic and does not deserve the Youtube audience or to be in any publication whatsoever.

It's inconceivable in our day and age that this vilification of a whole people is still being disseminated -- and especially when media has become very diverse and instantaneous.

YouTube disney channel on youtube inappropriate. 12/04/18

My 8 year old daughter typed into You Tube with me watching, Disney Channel to pick Ladybird Miraculous up, but a video came up with a girl practically topless showing what Disney Channel girls were like now, so inappropriate knowing that people typing Disney Channel into a search are not after seeing rude girls but kids wanting to watch their programme, I have set filters onto You Tube and our internet stating no rude content so was alarmed when my 8 year old wondered why the nice girl was showing her b*bs! So inappropriate. Even with safe searches the video is still there. The video in question Disney Channel famous girls stars before and after 2018. There's just no need!

YouTube freedom of speech freedom to protect.

The shooting you had within your walls reflects the anger the gun community feels for your censorship of a constitutionally protected class. With such widespread, heavy handed treatment, it will become a class you will be dealing with more and more. While the woman's energy was misplaced, the reaction to your censorship will be met with an equal and disproportionate response.
My complaint is that you rescind your attempts to crush the gun communities channels and give them treatment as equal to other groups. At a minimum, they should be allowed to have their channels work as normal, for all adult consumers. Until that day, I am now a net detractor of YouTube and everyone I speak to, I have nothing but venom for your lousy brand.

YouTube advertisement

While I am a user over 18 years old, it is extremely disturbing and uncomfortable for me to watch or even catch a glimpse of horror movie trailers which I did not choose to watch, but was forced to due to the pre-video advertisements. I had to listen to the first three seconds of it before I quickly turn off the volume completely - it is extremely traumatising and I hope you can allow viewers to choose which ads they can avoid.

YouTube the choice of ads and their mentally disturbing nature

Ive been heavily disturbed again by one of the most graphic and horrid of ads for a horror film truth or dare, within the first 6 seconds there are images of death and a graphic scene of a hand being smashed by a hammer ect. I understand theres a need for adds but this add in particularly is extremely not pg r suitible for all its sickening and actually disturbing and very unpleasant for me to have witnessed again. Its not what I want to see in any way at 10am in the morning whilst listening to my enya playlist, there needs to be some sort of system that has lets say a pg lock on ads so in a worst case a child doesn't see or become heavily upset by these sorts of ads that even in the 1st 6 seconds of are far too graphic for some adults let alone children to witness. It makes me wonder why theres so many adds that are in this nature at the moment to a site that's supposed to be suitable and safe for all viewers or a range of ages. I again understand the needs for adds but some adds are very inappropriate even in the first 6 seconds to wich we have to watch before even being able to skip and are in certainty need of a warning provided of its graphic, or adult nature ie gabling for instance. So people whom are vaulrenble or too young can skip it before its shown and thus this no longer being a issue. Or better still simply show and support adds that are suitable for families or have a watershed timescale to your ads with warnings if it has to be shown. I feel this has really been a prolific issue recently that's really lessened my enjoyment of youtube and its reliability as a family safe place to watch lets say funny cat vids with younger family members.

YouTube bad service; videos and movies

If YouTube wants to remain special, then videos and the movies has to be only HD. Beside this, most movies are broken purposely, in the middle stops, or suddenly the voice disappear in the most important moment of the movies.
Your quality control is unbelievably worse than bad. Please make a note of it. The Fire Stick is a big competition and YouTube might go down as a white Elephant in the near future.
