YouTube neulasta onpro kit commercial

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.

YouTube the way in which you conduct your business

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,

Ehron

Darren Meade is a criminal conman, GBH rapist and dangerously mentally ill. I had the misfortune of answering a Craigslist ad he placed for a roommate who had culinary skills. At the time he was staying in a condo off PCH in Newport Beach so it looked appealing so someone like me who was going to school and trying to live on student loans. When we first met he seemed normal, even articulate and knowledgeable about subjects. There is just something about him that didn't add up, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I should have paid attention to my instincts. He kept pushing me to have drinks while we get to know each other. The next thing I know I'm waking up the next day with a massive headache and was so dizzy I could barely stand up. My clothes were in a pile in the corner and even though I don't recall having sex, my body told me I had. I felt sick and got out as quick as I could. If I had my senses about me me I would have gone to the police, but now that I think about it I'm not so sure I would be victimized even more by them.
When I got home I did what I should have done and Googled this freak, clearly I am not alone and there is nothing he won't do. I'm lucky I got out with my life. Stay away girls!

Replying to comment of Jillsilly

He is a compulsive liar and sociopath, there are too many victims of Darren Meade. Google this guy before you hire him. He is mentally unstable and has nothing to lose as he has no friends/family and lives in his white mini van going from sober living house to homeless shelters portraying this false life of wealth ONLINE.. He parks his car far away from the coffee shops he goes to so no one sees his beat up minivan to get free wifi to write up lies about his victims. He has a past of GHB Rape and Grand theft auto. He will try to EXTORT you if you hire him. He tries to cover this fact up by posting nice stuff about himself online and carrying a bible around..talk about twisted. He has nothing to lose because he has nothing, he will make up lies about you and try and contact everyone you know until you pay him what he wants. I hope someone reads this before they are another victim. I wish I did my research on this sick individual. Good luck if you has got in contact with him.. block him asap and hope he goes away.

DISAVOWED: Darren Meade Responds To Allegations That He Defamed, Libeled Or Extorted For Financial Gain.

DISAVOWED: Darren Meade Responds To Allegations Put Forth By Sac County Iowa Prosecutor Ben Smith and his agents Michael Roberts Rexxfield, Janice Duffy, Shawn Richeson, Bennet Kelley have attempted to smear journalist Darren Meade for merely reporting about his belief that a flawed criminal prosecution may have resulted in the incarceration of an innocent woman. Meade is now suing Smith, and the State of Iowa of $18 million dollars.

These allegations are denied; Darren Meade has not libeled, defamed or extorted anyone.

Smith, punished his critic (Meade) with vindictive prosecution, Smith placed his own personal interest and the protection of his own reputation above the interests of the State of Iowa and its citizens. Smith prosecuted Meade not to punish or deter crime but to silence an individual who has vocally and publically criticized not only Smith’s performance as prosecutor but also his ethics

Rather than take the criticism in stride and as the price of being a public official (as he is constitutionally required to do), Smith decided to bring to bear his power as a prosecutor and the considerable resources if the State of Iowa to unconstitutionally silence criticism against him.

Smith, had been directly criticized by Meade for what Meade believes were instances of prosecutorial misconduct in the way Smith handled the Richter investigation and prosecution and accusing Smith of prosecutorial misconduct in this case, including the belief that Smith failed to investigate viable suspects – namely Richter’s now ex-husband Michael Roberts ---and that Smith knowingly suborned perjury from some of the state’s witnesses.

Smith has indicated in media statements how much Meade’s articles and accusations have hurt him personally, going so far as to say that Meade’s criticism of him “irritated him” and “sucked” that he would “not legitimate the nonsense” by discussing it and that they “attack me and the agents.” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhtbM1M5Rdo ). Smith’s own words show the depths of his feelings about Meade and Meade’s criticisms: “It’s fair to say, you look at the internet, I’ve been lumped in with all these things … it sucks to see these things … it is just utter garbage, utter nonsense.” Id. He goes on to elaborate: [t]hey attack not the facts, but the people that are presenting the facts: ME; the agents; the Sheriff; the witnesses.” Id. Indeed, Smith testified that Meade and his criticisms are “annoying, ” “flat-out annoying” and that he doesn’t “want to have to deal with somebody coming out of the woodwork every six months” because they are contacted by someone exploring Richter’s innocence. Notice how when listing the people being allegedly attacked by Meade’s criticism, Smith lists himself first.

In his crusade to silence Meade’s criticism against him, Smith has:

• Prosecutor Ben Smith, retaliated against Meade and criminally indicted Meade for engaging in constitutionally protected speech that was, among other things, critical of County Attorney Smith and his performance as prosecutor;

• Disclosed private and personal communications to third-parties, and confidential information to others, Smith did not require those individuals to enter into non-disclosure agreements;

• Disclosed bank account numbers, login ID’s and passwords, private financial records to the public in violation of law;

• Wrongfully instituted civil proceedings for the purpose of placing private records in the public records;

• Issued over 100 criminal subpoenas as a part of his campaign of harassment;

• Testified he worked over 1, 500 hours investigating Meade’s publications and articles critical of County Attorney Smith and critical of the veracity and backgrounds of some of the State witnesses;

• Wrote a 119-page, singled-space affidavit in support of an application to obtain a search warrant, relying on avowed enemies of Meade for substantial portions of its contents and filed the application as a public record rather than sealing it as is his usual practice;

• Falsely indicted Meade knowing the State of Iowa did not have territorial jurisdiction for alleged offenses that occurred wholly in California.

Smith, engaged in this wrongful conduct and prosecutorial vindictiveness with his powers of a prosecutor to retaliate against Meade because he did what the law plainly allows him to do – complain of potential prosecutorial misconduct and questionable witness testimony is a due process violation of the most basic sort. U.S. v. Goodwin, 457 U.S. 368, 372 (1982); see also Bordenkircher v. Hayes, 434 U.S. 357, 363 (1978).

Furthermore, he's now having his agents: Janice Duffy; Shawn Richeson; Bennet Kelley; Michael Roberts; Paul Portelli and others, continue to post maliciously false information. My reporting is legitimate and factual protected free speech, it is also effective. You can type into Google 'Darren Meade Dismissal' to watch the total and complete legal victory over the State of Iowa and Ben Smith in May of 2015.

YouTube suddenly 'uploaded' videos deleted

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

YouTube youtube videos audio issues

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

Today is Oct 27, 2016 and I continue experiencing audio issues with YouTube videos.The sound quality is worse than during the initial complaint period.
I am not the only viewer with such problems. Every comment section I read has other negatives about the same issues., yet no improvement is noted.

Why does Google permit such poor quality videos to be online? Many cannot be followed by audio, video, translation/annotations, etc.

YouTube banned

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!

YouTube volume too loud

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.

YouTube slow video view counts

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!

YouTube ads

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 youtube

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.

YouTube unauthorized charges

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.

YouTube skip button on ads

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 video rentals

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.

Youtube should not be saying they will take 30% when they are taking 100% of the revenue for video rentals and not paying the person that makes them. This is ridiculous, and a sad way to do business. No one can be a partner if they take it all, and no one is going to make more videos if they are not getting paid. Youtube, fix this,

YouTube video streaming

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.

Its really really annoying when im watching videos and suddenly pop out the advertisement. I really really prefer youtube from last few years. I really dont know what the function of keep poping out advertisements. I used youtube to listen to music when im studying or doing homework, but when im far away from the computer, then i should go back the computer and skip the advertisement. Its really annoying. I really hope u all can improve this. The advertisement no need keep showing the same and repeated few times. No function.

YouTube nobody is allowed to see video playback on certain sites, but you still allow facebook and their users to pirate videos?

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.

YouTube being charged with copyright theft

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.

YouTube advertising before clips

My 6 year old daughter enjoys watching Sylvanian Families videos on You Tube which she doing this morning, as I was getting packed lunches ready for school. The 'Payl Pal' Christmas advert was shown before the selected Sylvanian's clip, which clearly intimates that Santa is not real, as 2 young boys watch mum and dad buy Christmas gifts on-line. I could clearly see little cogs turning in my little girls head! Pay Pal have already reviewed this advert and agreed that it should not be shown on TV until after 9pm. Why are the same rules not being applied for other media? I think the magic of Christmas disappeared a little for my 6 year old this morning, as she is clearly now questioning the reality of Santa Claus. Please ensure this advert is only screen at an appropriate time, to avoid further children's christmas being ruined. A very disappointed and sad parent Kind regards Ros Clarke
