Fake News

On or about 11:30 p.m., 27 June 2017, as I was browsing for programs in YouTube via my Roku Network, my attention was caught on a breaking news by BBC Canada that a full-scale military attack by Russia on NATO military facilities and its alliance. The news presentation seems very true and real as footage of the event were shown and people involved.
As reported, the attack was triggered by the shooting of a Russian surveillance plane allegedly by NATO troops flying over the Baltic area. In retaliation thereto, Russia had mobilized its military all over the Baltic area torpedoed and sunk NATO warship where scores were killed and injured.
As reported, heavy fighting between the Russians and Nato troops are continuing and said that Romania, Lituania are about to be taken over. The UK was reported being attacked with nuclear missiles and the broadcast was broken unexpectedly along with a pop-up warning message to the public against the effect of the poison gas in the air.
I got panicky and called my relative(s) in the Philippines to prepare in case World War III breaks out because China's warning to the US and the North Korea's military strong force expressed support to Russia.
This news broadcast, however, was found later to be fake news and is very frustrating. This should never be allowed and be made public in such a big news platform such as YouTube.
More description of this news report can be traced in YouTube penned by Ben Marking. This person must be investigated for warmongering.

When I try to go onto the Youtube page, by typing in www.youtube.com into the search bar of Google Chrome, it takes me to a page with a whole page of coding lines that look like this: "9��(����p���z7����3ʴi7��EbH� qd# ���/����z�L)T����3{��P�a�hr�ѿ���c �"
I tried exiting out of the window, reloading it, and restarting my computer but it still doesn't work. I also tried using a different Internet Browsers such as Fire Fox and Internet Explorer but the same problem still happens. However, when I access Youtube on my mobile device the page loads perfectly. I'm not sure if this problem is a problem with my computer or a problem with the Youtube page.
A a screenshot of the problem is provided:

We have a Vizio 55" Smart TV, acquired about 2012. I can't believe that YouTube will no longer be providing access to the software that came with this TV. I have an established YouTube channel under the name "vintageaudiobuff". If YouTube does nothing to initiate a new app that works with the older Vizio smart TV's within the next 3 months, then I will remove my "vintageaudiobuff" YouTube account along with all of the videos that I have created and uploaded via this account. I believe that this is a travesty and a major mistake that YouTube has made.

Sincerely, Gary Peterson (vintageaudiobuff)

On June 17 Youtube notified me that one of my sub channels was suspended for "Your account has been suspended for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service, which prohibit spam, scams or commercially deceptive content.

For more information about account terminations and how our Community Guidelines are enforced, please visit our Help Center."

There was a link to request an appeal. I was shocked as I couldn't consider anything I've done to be a problem with their Community Guidelines. I appealed and also asked for a specific reason (to quote any content they feel was in violation.) I got back a response saying the appeal was refused. No details given.

I wrote in 4 more times asking for the details of a) what content was in violation b) what day it occurred and c) what IP posted it. Each time I got a canned response, "you violated Community Guidelines."

A week later, they shut down another channel of mine, same grounds. That channel I don't even use for comments. YT support doesn't seem to want to deal with this, as they just send me canned responses that Community Guidelines were violated, but not how they were or specific content that did violate it.

Hi,
I thought I would let you know that putting full length horror movie adverts on any random video is a little bit not on.
I wont put a whole lot of detail into it because I doubt anything but a robot will read or reply to this.
I am admittedly a huge 'scaredy cat' and anything of the post-watershed variety is frightening to me. The fact that im subjected to so many of the adverts all the time (Sometimes several consecutively for no reason) is awful as it is considering the people posting on your platform are paid next to nothing anyway, but when theyre damn scary several minuite long adverts I end up freaking out and getting annoyed.
Just stop it. Either make it worth it monetary wise for the people who make your awful platform worth wile so I can support them by being rightfully petrified or stop it all together.
Also think of the children youtube... Think of the children.
P. S. S 'just skip the adverts' is not an answer.

I just went onto see a video for Game Theory and off to the side bar I see an Ad, an Ad for condoms. Umm... That would seem very inappropriate to have on Youtube, especially because younger audiences watch Game Theory and the such. Don't get me wrong, sex is a good thing, but when advertised in the wrong setting or advertised at all, that's not a good thing. Please change advertisement placing bots so that advertisements like these (alcohol, drugs, etc.) are NOT included. Thank you.

A comment was posted on Youtube about me, which has caused me immense damage. I have been fired over this comment, repeatedly, and I have lost work opportunities. I have requested that YouTube remove this, but this has not happened. The Chanel is practically inactive anyway. I have attempted to contact the channel owner but I have not been successful.
Please organize to remove this comment, it has blackened my name.

Comment "This guy, [removed], I'd not trust a single word that comes out of him."

Please, this has caused me much damage, as an academic.

This has been going on for a while now, so unfortunately there really is no exact date to pin this to, maybe since around 2011. (did some research on Google) The audio playback is not the best, with an H.264 encoded file, and does not even come close to the 320kbps aac audio quality in the 1080p or even 4K quality when streaming video in those formats. Instead of the audio even reaching 320kbps, it is much lower and sounds close to 192 kbps at the highest quality set. This is not an issue with WiFi connectivity or anything of that sort, it is most definitely an issue with the programming used to playback YouTube's audio. In fact, this is undesirable for YouTube Red users since they pay for listening to music or other videos offline. However it is most undesirable to those who upload videos with music. This seems to have been an issue for a long time. It is 2017, not 2011.

If I wanted to look at ads, I'd cut on my television. Now, I know for a fact executives of YouTube [censor] much better looking women, drive more exceptional vehicles, live in more superb digs and snort much better coke than I do, so what's up with the greed? You have all the money, all the best vehicles, the penthouses as well as all the best everything else and now you want all my time when all I am wanting to do is watch a [censor]ing Fishbone video. You [censor] need to be eradicated.

When I tried logging on youtube on 6/16/17 the following message appeared

"Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

If you see them, send them this information as text (screen's frighten them):

So today I was trying to stream this game called Pretend You're Xyzzy, which is a game that does happen to have stuff like cursing and that type of thing, but 1. I have cursed before on YouTube and nothing bad has happened, and 2. people like Mini Ladd play it all the time on their YouTube channel and never get in trouble or even get a warning. Me on my FIRST TIME playing this game EVER on YouTube, I GET A COMMUNITY GUIDELINES STRIKE! Which did I get a strike?! Can you please tell me why? Because I know for a FACT that I did nothing wrong, because other people do the EXACT SAME THING and not a word is said about it! Thank you for your time. Even though you probably know this already, my email for you to contact me with is [protected]@gmail.com (don't judge, I made this email when I was 8).

My email [protected]@gmail.com has been terminated and my channel on YouTube cannot be found.
IAM unable to open my email as it says the account is terminated.
I did not receive any intimation and perhaps the account was hacked.

I had posted my tracks and had more than 37000 views..Please look into it at the earliest

Youtube has recently taken down the channel "Durv" (around June 2,
2017). This was due to an issue of click baiting. He made a second channel (clash trends). Which youtube also took down. But, Durv has made a third channel illegally under his younger brothers channel called "Finnerz". This is of utmost importance you terminate this channel to restore what you as a business has done to end the rampant click baiting issue on your site. To make your life easier, I provided a link to the place where Durban is secretly operating. Again. Please remove him from Youtube for good. Thanks!
Also, Finnerz owns this channel, not Durv. So, please terminate both or whatever is needed

This guy is really not charismatic! In dark shades, he looks like some kind of conman trying to pass his infomercial ponzi scheme onto me. I really hate this line of commercials. I don't know who he is but he does not look like the sort of person I would ask financial advice from nor would I give him a dollar if he asked for one passing him on the street. The frequency of the commercials were annoying to me as well. I am really shocked this was vetted, seriously, he looks like some college drop out. Is that why he is talking about college advice?

Why do my vids always get suppressed & hid from possible viewers? I have been doing vids now for almost 2 years now & my vids are completely hidden as opposed to others vids that are put up at the same time about same subject matter. I do not understand it? I work hard to put these vids together & YouTube continuously hides my vids? I want to know how to get viewers... But I don't understand how someone can come along & put up the same minorit subject & get thousands of views after I been around for over a year?

I apologise to sound rude from the begining but whats wrong with you and those comersials? Does every single song has to have it?
It s uncredibly anoying!
In early stage of anoying with comersials I could listen to whole albums without interuptions, now you outdone yourself. Wheter album is consisted of song by song or all the songs in a row, you are constantly anoying with comersials.
Can I turn them completely down?

Listening (trying to) a collection of loretta lynn songs,
After every song another [censor]ing commercial have to keep getting up and skipping it.
Put one commercial first and one last.
You get the songs free, quit [censor]ing with us.

Another complaint damn near every song is garbled for 30 seconds in the beginning.
Vimeo and others don't do this [censor]

Yeah I know you don't give a [censor] about complaints

This complaint is about you not your advertisers you don't give an option to complain about you

I don't have a company or website. I'm a simple singer songwriter from Belgium. I am fed up with YouTube. I've been trying to get in contact with them for weeks and all I get are automatic responses telling me to go to the help page. What’s the use of having a service email address if you’re not going to help anyone.

I have written 60 songs and uploaded them to YouTube when I was little. Now I really want to build this channel but YouTube said I can't use content ID because they can't prove the songs are mine? It took them less than an hour to reply so they probably didn't even take a descent look at it! I spent hours writing those songs and now they say they can't prove it's mine? What am I supposed to do now? I need Content-ID... I have 60 songs to protect but apparently that's not good enough.

I want YouTube to have a descent look at my channel and say "okay you have written 60 songs, you do indeed need content-ID" and if for some reason I'm not allowed to get it, I want a clear reason why and tips on what I CAN do.

I have made to watch skippable video adverts created by a youtube channel with its username 't hashimoto'. This individual has been promoting extremists' political views of supporting north korea, under a disguise of music videos. As a resident of japan, I do not want to watch any such videos anymore for the rest of my life. I am not demanding to shut the channel but I just want you to stop making me watch this sort of disgusting videos any longer - if only you, google, does not collude with the kim jong un's communists' regime. Thank you.
