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.
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
ads
I use YouTube every day to play music, and I've resigned myself to the fact that there is now an obnoxious amount of ads before, after and during videos. However, recently it's ONLY been Subway ads - basically two variations of the same ad - meaning I have to listen to the SAME ad every minute or so, which equals about 40-50 times daily. WTF?
criteria for removing videos and the reviewers
A number of my Videos have been removed under the UMBRELLA grounds that they all violated the Community Guidelines – or contained inappropriate content – which is UNSPECIFIC [which guideline (?)] and VAGUE. All “Strikes” have been appealed on the basis of UNJUST CAUSES. One CASE in POINT is that of a Video entitled “Learn Japanese FAST and EASY.” What in the name of REASON can possibly be inappropriate about learning Japanese? None has been acknowledged, let alone determined. The Help Centre has failed to respond to my Enquiry Tickets. As a result, two of my Accounts have been disabled. I invite the Youtube Community to explain themselves, and confirm that the so-called ‘piss-artist’ elements amongst them do not subject people to ‘With-hunts’ whimsically. It is UNREASONABLE and UNFAIR to destroy a Video -- the production of which has cost time, nervous energy and money -- for no logical reason.
ads too loud!
I'll be listening to music on a playlist, and suddenly an ad will pop up. Sometimes at the start of a song, sometimes even in the middle. And every single time my ears are subjected to a very loud version of the latest music hits! It's like they pick the loudest part of a song and amplify it 10 times! I'll be listening to music at a loud setting, partially because my headphones are quiet, and partially because the music I was intending to listen to isn't that loud, but then the ad is so much louder I have to pull my headphones off or quickly pause the ad. I don't mind watching them, sometimes I even like it because you make them relatively short and about music I may possibly be somewhat interested in, but I don't enjoy the prospect of buying hearing aids when I'm 30! Even if I don't have my headphones in, and I'm just watching a vid in my room, the sudden sound of an ad popping up is enough to give someone a heart attack, especially at this volume!
youtube is suiciding, this biz is untoleabl. adblock the #### outa it. #### U YuTub!
signing in issues
Every time I either try to change my channel art, post a comment, or even send feedback; it says I have to sign in. I'm already signed in, so why do I have to sign in a second time? When I put in my password, the sign in window closes, and it just sits there like nothing happened. And I'll do this process many times. It was quite hard to make a legitimate...
Read full review of YouTube and 25 commentspoor repairs/sold lemon car/filed small claims against
Head in the other direction! The owner and his crew sold me a bogus used car, failed to make warranty repairs under Ma ss Lemn Law, made unauthorized repairs without work orders and finally the wheel fell off.. Avoid like the plague!
Just finished with small claims suit against Lou Russo and Charlie's. Judge has taken it under advisement. In my opinion, we presented extensive documented proof of his actions towards us. Stay clear of this business.
The court ruled in Plaintiff's favor in the amount of $1600.08.
Russo had until December 15th to pay.
Russo filed appeal on Wednesday November 27th with no apparent grounds for appeal established in documentation.
We will be seeking treble damages in the amount of $4800.24 plus interest.

comments format changes
Google has f****d Youtube once again, the new format forces users to join Google+, this is just a dishonest extension strategy for a failed product. You can't reply to comments unless you are joined to google+, there is no thumbs up anymore(unless you are a part of google+), and i do miss the top comments as they gave me a giggle occasionally.
Google... making Youtube ### since 2006.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Irishladd is correct!
We can no longer make comments about a video on You Tube unless we join Google Plus... Also, he is right they keep changing things, at least once a week they change something, the latest is the screen format... I used to comment now and then but ALAS, no more... I will not join Google+ just to type a comment once in a while...
But HEY! What do we expect from the Government operated Google... Look how well the Government operated Obamacare has worked and how crippling it has been to people, financially and their health ... I guess when I think about people dying because of a government operated program and website like Obamacare, I guess You tube problems from the pitiful government owned Google is a minor topic no matter how maddening... SMILE, EVEN IF IT HURTS!
fraudulent evil seller. keeps your money and the merchandise!
Steviwink aka Stephaniee powell is an unethical greedy fraud seller who listed items for sale via auction on ebay and after items were won, she asked for more money after it was already paid for. Not only did she never ship the merchandise, but she tried to keep my money as well and then had the nerve to send me rude and insulting emails when she was in the wrong to begin with!. So glad I have my CC company by my side. She also continues to send harassing messages via internet because the word is out of the type of fraudulent seller she is.
Buy from this seller at your own risk! As a matter of fact, don't risk it, not worth the hassle. Go where your business is appreciated because it won't be with this person, guaranteed!

name and google+ harassment
I wish to officially file a formal complaint about a 'behavior' from Youtube(Google), and for as much people as possible to do the same, so they can ''understand''.
The harassment coming from the repeated and continual attempt from their service to push and force upon me(and other Users) the use of a ''Name'' for all service deserved by Google.
Which harassment now scaled up to a forced and obligatory subscription to the Google+ service which I refuse and will never use.
Harassment also coming from an partial interruption of my use of Youtube, every time I attempt to use the 'comment' function, which then seek to force me to select a ''Name'' and subscribe me to Google+.

This user has been inappropriate to a number of individuals. He has called people ugly, autistic, stupid, and more. On top of that, he continues to tell people to "kill themselves". YouTube should not allow this to continue. There should be severe repercussions. This could be enough to push someone over the edge. If you do not take action, someone could commit suicide as a result of cyber bullying. I expect you will do the right thing. Keep me updated, please. Thank you.

Same here. What is wrong with them!? ###. It is VERY annoying. I'm trying to watch a video on youtube and the name change thing shows up, so i refresh the page and kit comes up again and again.

junk mail using youtube's name
I received a email that says:
"you tube administration has sent you a direct message: your video has been approved"
But when I opened the email, I found a canadian pharmacy advertisement selling viagra, cialis, etc.
I consider this to be a joke or someone playing a stupid game to see how many people will actually open up that email. I don't
Appreciate it and find it to be offensive.
The email line that says "from" just happens to have a address on it that reads:
Billy. [protected]@hst. Mizone. Ru (I have no idea who billy taylor is!)
Hope you can put a stop to this activity!
Thanks, kay

SCAM BY DECEPTION
This personal hides behind the name of [protected]@gmail.com. Goes Under the name: Mesh Netmindz, I know there is a risk when sending your money to these people, but I did some research and had not seen any bad reviews on this person at all. Plus I was intrigue with the samples he posts on Youtube. I paid £60 to start the request, and then once I paid him the final deposit he then decided not to respond to my emails. As well as he may deceive you with youtube examples of ID, he will then tell you that the person that has the ID has been arrested. He has offered me a refund, but I doubt he would send anything. I will post the exchange or emails between us later on. Please check out this Scammer's Youtube links.

illegal account hacking
A USA Government funded organization called 'MBoned' (established 1992) have been now illegally hacking me & thousands of others for years (yes I have the proof) - I exposed them to Avaaz.org by phone, & within a very short time after Avaaz investigated MBoned, they were under a heavy hacking attack which lasted for 44 hours non-stop. I demonstrated them attacking me with a video & then uploaded it to You-tube. MBoned were behind both SOPA & ACTA (both of which have been thrown out of the high courts). You-Tube are now either removing positive comments made on my video's, or they like Face-Book are allowing MBoned to get directly to my You-Tube account. Not only this but You-tube are denying me access to reply to others comments on my uploaded video's. I'm going to expose their entire corrupt connections with each other once and for all. I've notified David Cameron (which is a Joke) which I've done for official reasons. These organizations must be stopped & put to trail.

Yes he has. That would be Brenda.
poor maintenance
Over the course of six years, YouTube has become worse and worse. They constantly change their pages so that it's harder for users to navigate. Also, for the past few months, there are several videos that will not load. Some videos may load for a few seconds and then trick the user into thinking it's fully loaded, but it will stop at a certain point and will not load anymore. Many people have complained about this yet the people that keep YouTube running refuse to do anything about it. They are not doing their jobs properly.

racist youtube comments on a video
FCC needs to take control of YouTube promoting and permitting the idea that White-Supremacy needs to be put into action and that homophobia needs to be encouraged. Youtube comments come in the most random unrelated forms calling on White Americans to eradicate African Americans and members of the Gay community. Instead of being for entertainment and educational purposes only, it seems to also be a gathering place for those looking to form an alliance of hateful people in support of eradication of human beings not of their race or sexual preference.
Youtube is going beyond freedom of speech and seems to be looking to recruit a nation of “eradicators”. FCC, why are you not involved, why are you not making sure to prevent a tragedy from occurring due to the promoted hostility of Youtube racist. FCC, take note that the encouragement of eradication of certain groups of people is not confined in an optional place where viewers have the option to experience it, the encouragement of hatred is intentionally posted all over the YouTube sites to recruit other hateful followers. Racist and anti-gays are invading the post of those they hate intentionally to cause fear, pain and anger.
The video of the girl who had a bad riding accident has not been removed from the network, inspite of me writing to Inside Out West and Panorama, who I know get thousands of complaints of various things and I know they are busy. Written to You Tube via Facebook, but no answer. I have flagged the video as innapropriate and clicked the dislike button, so I have done all I can to get that tripe removed. I am not the You Tube police, as someone thought I was, they can watch what they want, but these videos have gone far too far and must be removed, as soon as possible.
FCC, don’t let a tragedy occur at the hands of lazy youtube and it’s failure to promote a safe environment.
Blahh
The FCC (if it was intheir domain) could also ban ebonic talkiing rappers and gay porn and dating sites...and anything else they deem not in the "publics" interest - whatever that may be. If it hurts your sensibilities, for kryssake, DON'T GO THERE.
