YouTube A video I am apparently not allowed to watch

I would really care to know why I am unable to watch a video without having to either give my credit card details or my id? Youtube has my google account. you know my details.

The video in question is 'Rammstein -Radio'.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NfI2NeDHI

I honestly just find it appalling that you need these details to apparently verify my age? for a video that I have watched several times before when you have all of my details to begin with. Especially since the only apparent reason is because of female bodies? male bodies are fine. but not female bodies! blasphemes and must be hidden!

I am just disgusted honestly.

Desired outcome: Maybe just let people watch videos who are logged into their accounts without being pedantic? (yes I am mad, in case it wasn't obvious)

YouTube Censorship

YouTube has begun censoring my posts secretly. They appear to me, but not to others. I found this out by logging in from another account and none of my posts appear. This is largely due to the fact YouTube is one sided regarding their position with both social and political views and they remove any posts they don't like while leaving the posts of those views they agree with. They have total disregard for free speech rights or freedom of expression rights. They don't have to agree with opinions, but they sure as hell shouldn't be able to censor them, this HAS to be illegal.

Desired outcome: Action needs to be taken to prosecute YouTube for violations of people's rights, they have gotten way out of hand with the censorship.

YouTube Censoring

YouTube is breaking the law taking away people's FREEDOM OF SPEECH! They are hiding THE TRUTH! YouTube is bias, discriminating against all races, demonetizing people for no good reason, shadow banning to manipulate the truth and I could go on and on.

Desired outcome: Bring back all of the YouTubers that YouTube has cancelled, quit shadow banning, quit demonetizing and stop censoring! Stop taking away people's FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!

YouTube Censorship

I am so disappointed that you are censoring Liz Harris in Arizona. I should be able to choose if I think she says is wrong. I am an adult and can make my own decisions and I don't need you to make it for me. I live in Fl and very interested what goes on in Arizona. Don't take up communist policies and try to control what we think. I will still be able to get her, you just make in less convenient.

YouTube Censorship

The Dark Horse Podcast has been doing a stellar job of providing scientific truth and fair reporting of the facts and hypotheses surrounding Covid-19. You are doing a great injustice by giving them 2 strikes. You are going against freedom of speech and you are potentially turning a democratic society into one of censorship. There are so many people who are benefiting from their incredible work. Why would you want to interfere with that?!

Desired outcome: For YouTube to stop censoring channels that are doing exceptional work to educate all of us!

I completely agree with Kristy.

I would like to add that by definition scientific research deals with unknown phenomena (otherwise it would not be research). And by definition with unknown phenomena no one knows for certain what is true and what is not. The relationship between ivermectin and covid is still not certain. But the overwhelming majority of scientific analyses and meta-analyses point towards ivermectin being helpful in the treatment of covid 19. This is so much so, that Oxford University is doing a huge ramdomised trial (worth millions) to test this hypothesis. However, until we actually can see this study (protocol and results) the "current" best information we have is that it seems to work.

Therefore it is really shameful that youtube has censored their opinions. If YouTube wants to censor scientists it should at least back their decisions with scientifics papers and open a forum for discussion.
All the Dark Horse Podcast has been doing is asking for more data.

YouTube Removed my channel without offering any explanations.

#1: YouTube deleted my channel on 1/13/2021 for severe & repeated community guidelines violations even though they've never specified, nor have they ever even once indicated to me in advance, as to which community violations I've committed; whatever violations that YouTube may perceive as violations that I've allegedly committed, being that it might be any disparaging & untoward comments, contents, etc., et. al., please get YouTube to specify so I can remove it ASAP!
#2: On 1/13/2021, Google Account is claiming that:
A: my gmail address isn't associated with any active Google Account,
B: if my gmail address was previously associated with a Google Account it cannot be recovered unless the request is made in a short time even though I've provided them with https://www.youtube.com/willting as my URL channel, and,
C: the account never existed in spite of being in good standing with YouTube since January of 2018; this is my very first occurrence I've ever had with Youtube*(NOTE: Those screenshots below ought to be self explanatory even though I'm probably utilizing a bot; at any rate, please rectify this matter ASAP, THANKS!)*

Desired outcome: Will Ting wants my YouTube Premium channel restored.

YouTube Advertising

The advertising on YouTube uses that come in as an interruption during a video disturbs the flow of the videos. It cuts out portions of the content, often vital portions. The software simply doesn't work effectively and it seems somewhat amateurish. One can be watching a lecture and miss a whole minute.

While I acknowledge that content uploaders select where the ads are to go, it still disrupts the actual content itself. In fact, some YouTube apps (eg for a Bravia Smart TV) will simply crash when an ad comes up.

The entire YouTube experience has become rather soured by the amount of advertising and more importantly, the disruptive nature of the advertisements. While we want to support content creators, we also wish to enjoy their content. At present, YouTube is a very unappealing experience and seems to have more frequency of advertising than commercial television, and when it is disruptive advertising, TV has won the edge.

Desired outcome: Please repair advertising policy and software interaction to make the ads less disruptive and which preserve the continuity of the video content.

YouTube Susan Wojcicki

I talked to Susan Wojcicki, who is the current Youtube CEO, for my case, I explained my case along with my specific situation. Susan Wojcicki took my money but she did not handle my case properly. I wanted my money back, but she did not refund. Moreover, she humiliated me. She said, "you are a disabled person, and I pitied you, that is why I took your case". She also said, "I am the CEOof YouTube, my annual income is tens of million dollars. I read many negative reviews about her on the Internet and I am not willing to work with her anymore. I just want my money back.

YouTube Ad's.

Im really really sick to death of ad's, i cant enjoy any video i watch without stupid irrelevant ad's popping up it makes me so fed up, its all about money, the only website like this and its all about money, we get comfy to watch youtube videos an then there's ad's, and the WORSE thing is the 6 SECOND ad's which we have no control over especially with 2 out of 1 ad's an the first one is 6 seconds. All about money why not charge people for ad's instead of forcing them down throats.

Desired outcome: Give people a choice to watch ad's and charge those who choose to watch ad's not charging people for no ad's what about those who cant afford it.

YouTube Unethical adds

Hello. I know a lot of people complain about adds, but for me it is one add in particular that is unethical that very much bothers me. I have received multiple adds from peta with audio of owls screaming in agony. It is most defiantly disturbing content, even for someone who is 21+ needless to say I think that this add in particular should be removed. Especially because there is no warning of when you will get/ hear it.

The particular add in question. Be warned disturbing audio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcjdbXcaMDQ

Desired outcome: please remove this add in paticualr.

YouTube Walls of Jericho video commercial

3 Jun 21 approx 12:30 pm while watching Ryan Hall Y'all weather forecast. First off, the advertisement looks more like a music video of some blood and death metal growler band than a commercial for anything. The video is rife with foul language, clearly explicit violent acts resulting in the perceived drawing of blood, demonic allusions, pedophilia, allusions of human sacrifices and self-harm (cutting is featured). The music is patently offensive to the senses and promotes clear nihilistic themes. Again, the lyrics are full of cursing and condemnation and espousing death to oneself and those around you. This is what YouTube decided was acceptable content for advertising while I'm watching the weather? The ad ran for 1.5 minutes before I gave up thinking there might be an end to it so I could see if they really were advertising anything and shut the crap off. YouTube is all over their content providers for content not deemed 'family friendly' by their mods yet this is acceptable?

Desired outcome: What outcome for an organization that routinely promotes content around pedophilia, sexual deviance, and self-harm? May their moderators be subject to the very same? Dunno?

YouTube Commercial

There should not be commercials containing satanic games that apparently have something to do with identifying your house plants, or previews for horror movies! Or adds encouraging experimental vaccines. Stop advertising for it, it's everyone's personal choice! It's ridiculous! My kids are just trying to watch kids shows! Take the crap down!

Desired outcome: Take the stupid add crap down.

Day before youtube decided to rip off the number of views, watch time hours and the subscribers that my channel RUTH'S KIDVENTURE received.
The data was removed from the date : 23rd May 2021.
It started by removing 100 hours watch time and 4 subscribers on 27/5/2021
and the next day 28/5/2021 i lost 2 more subscribers all this at once...
I would like youtube to update the data they decided they can just grab.
This doesn't feel like a fair business.. Hope i do not have to drag this to the next level

Desired outcome: Update my lost date.

YouTube You Tube Comments link

The link has disappeared across the board on my computer and the housemate's computer and at his company's computer.

This has been going on for about a month as of today (5/15/21) and no advice on the internet is helping including from "Get Human"

I have not violated any policy and even if one person didn't like me for some reason why has the comments link disappeared across the board and why is this affecting another person's computer in two places?

Desired outcome: I need the "comments" link restored on the You Tube

YouTube Sexual content

YouTube places sexual ads. The excuse we get is that we search for sexual content and therefore we get these ads. 1st of all there should not be any sexual content on YouTube, secondly you do not have to look it up. It simply appears! Our kids are no longer on YouTube, but we still keep a watch on YouTube. Is YouTube a pornografic platform?! Remove

Desired outcome: Remove sexual content!!!!

YouTube Constant tv advertising interruptions.

I sent a email relating to complaints over youtube advertising. And filled in a official form. But we are still seeing tv adverts. In youtube. While watching my favourite tv series clips. And the the tv adverts are still interfering with our youtube watching tv series video clips. For how long do we have to put up with these annoying adverts interfering with our youtube tv video clip watching of favourite tv sries. We are very angry over this. And demand some action. It's so annoying to snatch your favourite tv series clips. Only to have interrupted by stupid pointless advertising. It's no joke. Their is far too many tv adverts on youtube. Their is still a lot of majority of people who do not embrace tv advertising. Via you tube. Or want to use it. For educational. Business. Use. Or shopping use. Preceding to use conventional normal means. To do it. Majority of people would like to whatch youtube video clips without annoying tv advertising..Interfering in clips. This is a official complaint. Now kindly sort this out. Why shop on line when many can go to shops. Or phone shops up. Why learn grammar on some website. When you can go to libraries. Or use dictionaries.. Or learning gaming techniques via website. When you have manuela for most consolgames. As for learning from some website how to improve your educational course studies.. When you have real books.In college. Public libraries. People are far to dependent on modern advanced technologi es. I'm disgusted that tv and radio advertising is getting worse. And why do ones need a business coach. To improve th eir. Business. It's utterly riddiculous.. If be grateful of a quick reply.
