reviews and complaints

My 5 (and 7) year old loves watching Pete the cat, but the comments underneath from more than one person (eg under Pete the cat I love my white shoes) is disgusting. Lots of swear words, 's[censor] and f[censor]; 'I cummed so hard' 'fencepost up my butt' etc. These people should not be allowed to post comments, particularly under kids catagories; it is unnecessary and just offensive. Don't you wish they would grow up?

To demonetize and seemingly attack right wing channels and those that don't fall for liberal bs and then turn around and trend something like the rap video 'look at me' by xxxtendumass is absolutely hypocritical and you should be ashamed. You are going to pay for contributing to the racial division you thrive on in the form of abandonment at the first chance of a platform that would lead away from you. Good luck with your stupidity.

I am a parent of a 1 & 2 year old who love to watch Bob the Train and ABC learning videos on YouTube. WHY is this commercial played every 5 minutes on my children's learning channel!

https://youtu.be/8dhejCohyzg

My husband and I are outraged at the

1. Lack of proper disbursement of these commercials. I understand you make money off ads but play something like this if I'm watching satire, not for a child show.

Or

2. The blatant subliminal messages this commercial is playing over & over for my babies to pick up and become. I mean it starts off by saying LIFE IS MEANINGLESS & DEATH APPROACHES!

The other commercials are about depression lol it's ridiculous! There has to be a dedicated team of people who place ads in their proper place. Get it together.

i don't mean to sound vulgar but what the hell youtube, i originally started watching videos on here cause i liked games and content creators views on games, but recently the amount of content being censored and demonnitised is ridiculous, i get that you have an audience that hate vulgar and censored gaming content but alot of us fans tune in for this content regardless weather it is vulgar or not... it is our choice and if you feel you cannot show it to all audiences then register an age restriction to videos just like anyone else. by doing this you are severely restricting content creators who use vulgar language during lets plays the make their content more desirable, i beseech you to consider that their is a place for this type if vulgar language on youtube... just like any other broad audience site.

Dear Youtube team,

Could you please explain me what is going on, since the likes that I give to some specific channels (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDbsY8C1eQJ5t6KBv9ds-ag) disappear when I reload the videos, which I gave a like to.

This happens to some specific channels only.
Could you please address that issue?

Kind regards,
Evgeny

I have received this message from youtube today:

Hi Anatoli S,

The YouTube community flagged one or more of your playlists as inappropriate. After reviewing the content, we’ve determined that the playlist violates our Community Guidelines. As a result, we removed the following playlist from YouTube:

Torsunov
Please note that this removal has not resulted in a strike on your channel. We encourage you to review all playlists in your account to make sure they are in line with our community guidelines. Additional violations could result in strikes on your account, or even lead to account termination.

For more information please visit the YouTube Help Center.

Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team

Please find my reply:

Hi Youtube,

Please give reason for what you describe as ''inappropriate'' and expand on who is ''The YouTube community''. Why has this been flagged and please show proof of evidence as this channel is a series of lectures on Healthy living and vegetarian eating.

This doesn't not look right, please return the playlist back and specify in detail what guidelines are violated. It's a violation to remove an ''innocent'' lectures channel from my youtube that is of much benefit and goodness to many people.

Thanks,

Anatoli

I am sick and tired of complaining everywhere. Send numerous feedbacks on youtube, on playstore even called my network so many times but I am still not able to find out the root of the problem.
I am not able to stream any video from past 15 days. It always keep on showing me no connection (inspite of full network and perfectly fine working internet) and different playback ids each time I tap to retry. I tried every setting. Cleared cache cookies, uninstalled, re-installed every network related setting. But it just wont work.

So I like youtube, but recently the ads are getting out of control. Two ads for every video, some unskippable long adverts. It seems like I'm spending more time watching adverts than anything else.

The thing I liked about youtube initially was that it's kind of like watching tv just without the adverts but these days its not the same.
Also the content of the adverts sometimes is ridiculous: pyramid schemes and blatant scams that could probably fool some people.
Sometimes just random videos come up as adverts from other countries which aren't even advertising anything, just nonsense videos from india or wherever.

Anyway I think its getting out of hand and I'm not inclined to keep using your website if it carries on getting worse. I don't like constantly being advertised to.

Thanks,
Tom

I have a problem with something, you recently took down my old channel and I understand why you did it, what I don't understand is why is there other videos just like mines still on youtube for example, there's a video called "Amazing Pawng Candid butt" and "Thick candid butt in orange skirt" and many more like this and there still on youtube, and i'm wondering why is that it seems to me youtube only takes down videos they find inappropriate, and all i'm saying isif your going to take down my channel that's fine but while your in the process take down those other videos I said earlier, i'm pretty sure those videos are not educational purposes

people cant copy right music yet theres plenty of videos that have been uploaded, if people cant use copy righted music what gives youtube the right to allow videos from TV shows to be uploaded by youtubers this is BS in many ways than 1, basically sounds like a contradiction, are we allows to use music if no then people should upload TV show videos, copy right is copy right and those that share TV Show Upload should go through the same copy right breach of contact as the ones with music, what on earth are you doing YouTube!

Why do you keep screwing pewdiepie over?why do you give in to people's stupid requests? I am down right tire of this bs. Instead of being spineless giving into some idiot just stand up for your youtubers. Giving somebody a copyright strike on a video game is out right Ludacris. You're opening a gateway to copyright any gameplay videos on YouTube. I've never seen something so disrespectful in my entire life. If you guys continue to screw him over for something so stupid, i'm just gonna go to yahoo. Stop being spineless.

So one of my the channels I'm subscribed to posted a video and I never got it on my subscriptions feed. I wouldn't have found it out if I wasn't on the channel and saw it. So I unsubscribe and resubscribed and I reloaded my feed and it sill didn't show up, so I'm confused.
P.S. Sorry to complain it just happened and I'm genuinely confused. I just want to know if it's the channel or YouTube or my computer.

Someone with my name created an account in youtube and uploaded
a video . When I google search my name this video appears first in search result .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oVC3GLfidw

This video in the end shows that after resigning the current job one becomes beggar and will remain as beggar with the help of speech given by prime minister of India "Narendra Modi" .
I already submitted a complaint regarding this issue to youtube but no action taken till now .

I am attaching the Image . Please check for attachments .

Block this youtube video and take appropriate action against the person who is misusing my identity .

Why are you introducing these new, super-annoying pop-up banners during videos? I can't emphasize how annoying these are. Please get rid of them. You probably have enough money I'm guessing? I'm almost sure that it will alienate everyone, since it covers a significant part of the screen and requires a person to stay near their device so they can "X" out of it.

So... Youtube. How's it been?
Youtube was a place where people of all sorts could upload videos no matter their condition or personality, they could have genuine fun with their videos! They'd laugh and do what they do best, making content for viewers, like me, to watch.
And now you're taking that away?
You are FORCING people to change by changing their attitude and stop swearing or saying anything that gives them enjoyment. Now, I'm not saying you should let every content creator say EVERYTHING that they want as it definitely will be very vulgar.

All I am saying is, ease up a bit.
Seriously, you are taking the joy out of what content creators do.
I have found myself to rather... Stop getting on Youtube as often because of this issue, I found that the Youtubers I watched were not as genuine as they once were because they could not say what they wanted to say, forcing them to watch what they say at ALL TIMES, making everything less genuine as a whole.

Yes, kids get on Youtube. If they access these videos, that is the PARENTS fault for not taking care of their children properly.

Just, ease up a bit, would you?

I am both shocked and appalled at the number of quality videos on youtube being labelled as shocking or inappropriate. I have seen any number of gaming videos portraying scenes of carnage including shooting and people being dismembered. Yet somehow these graphic scenes are given a free pass by youtube.

Although your policy on the types of videos that content creators are allowed to post is clear, your internal policy on what your label as shocking or inappropriate is anything but clear and frankly come across as ludicrous.

If you are going to label real artistic free expression then you could at least label all the hateful childish political nonsense that gets to go through youtube.

I don't understand why creepy pasta is so horrible it's okay for you tubers to play violent horror games with out to much complaints I know you can't make everyone happy but basically banning a genre seems ridiculous I pay the extra for red so I can listen to creepy stuff I think as an individual I should have the freedom to listen to what I want. When have we become so whiny and offended by everything. I think people need to suck it up. I think your website is a great idea just please support creepy site as well.
Thank you so much

Dear You Tube
I do not wish to see Political campaign advertsing from the Labour Party of New Zealand on my home page or You Tube videos which I deem to be offensive from people who promote Abortion and Liberal Anti-Christian views that do represent the moral values I stand for and believe in. Please remove it as its not what I support or want to see.
Thank you in advance

During last three months before beginning of a video you show some adds about marriage equality. I found this adds really disgusting and offensive.

I do not want anything to know about this topic. Have no idea why you show add about these sick people. Moreover, children can see that add as well.

I deliberately ask you to stop broadcasting this socially wrong add. people with healthy sexual preferences have rights as well. If you continue broadcasting this type of adds I will have to apply to any legal actions to stop it.

Hello, over the weekend I was shocked too see YouTube displaying an advert that promotes racially charged comments from Andile Mngxitama (White Monopoly Capitalist). These adverts should not be displayed, what makes YouTube different from what Bell Pottinger has done in South Africa. We are a country of repair and do not need any of these fake propaganda fueling an already fragile situation. Disgusted in YouTube...
