YouTube Fired cop video (1 month ago) justin pulliam

On the above referenced video, Justin Pulliam intentionally calls me "Cuntsler" instead of my real last name. I have received threatning e mails, calls and letters from Mr. Pulliam all intentionally using the "[censored]" word in my name. Mr. Pulliam has consistently been asked to use my real name and state facts. He has refused to do either. The video slanders me.

Desired outcome: Removal of video

Kelly doesn't like government accountability by the people who voted legislators and administrator into office. She hates when the people force those elected officials to hold government employees accountable for their actions. That's why Kelly is going to work for a COG, in the great State of Texas. Problem is Kelly, your past will follow you there, and anywhere you land. You made a mess out of Leon Valley and right now it's becoming very clear by who you hired on staff. You won't get away with what you did.

YouTube Deleting of Novara Media's Youtube channel

I'm writing to complain about Youtube's sudden decision to delete the Novara Media channel without giving any warning or any explanation. Novara Media's output on Youtube is an essential part of the political landscape in the UK, and it is preposterous to delete it without explanation. The contents of the channel is regulated and they provide a committed but fair service which I use frequently and enjoy. This smacks of political censorship by a tech giant and is very disturbing. I urge you to reverse the decision and reinstate Novara's channel.
Yours sincerely, Simon Reynell

YouTube Dave and Ava

Thank you for your time,

Yesterday, my partner and I were babysitting while the kids were watching Dave and Ava. The family of the black monkeys with their natural looking hair is depicted to look like a black woman which I am. I changed the channel quick because I was uncomfortable. I didn't realise that my partner who is white was uncomfortable as well.

Desired outcome: These type of videos shouldn’t be on your platform in 2021. This was really offensive and to be honest I have felt so bad since yesterday

i have seen Bosnian Bill's content before. he may have made a clerical error and said it was part of your company by accident. i haven't seen the one you mentioned but i have seen other lock pickers have say a similar lock they reference as "like this one from [insert company name]" again might be a mistake in referencing the locks and companies. usually he is very careful with his work.

Ephesians 4:17, ESV: "Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds."

Ephesians 4:17, CSB: "Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their thoughts.

YouTube YouTube Platform

Platform has a Monopoly on the sharing of information. They are abusing this monopoly to spread Marxist & fascist ideals. Whilst simultaneously squashing any pro freedom & pro liberty points of view. It is utterly despicable.

Considering there is a law to shield YouTube from being sued for the actions of their users. They should not be allowed to censor their users. Unless it is for very black & white issues, i.e. promoting terrorism etc. If YouTube wants to censor then they should be liable to be sued for uncensored content.

Desired outcome: YouTube be liable for future fascist behaviour.

YouTube Tvidler online advertiser on YouTube

Folks,

An hour or so ago, I was listening to music on my Youtube account, when an ad for an ear wax removal device made by Tvidler came up. I was interested since I have ear wax buildup.
I continued to watch the ad and decided to place an order for one device for $22.95 plus $4.95 shipping. At the end of the order, my confirmation indicated 4 extra devices were purchased which I had not selected (cost of $59.96 extra). Additionally, the company gave me no way to correct the order (assuming I had made the error). The company just processed the incorrect order with 5 devices being charged to my Visa debit account.

I immediately tried to call customer service but was on a loop for 15 minutes with no one answering. I then began a chat with a customer service representative who said she needed to contact a "logistics" person to identify my order and it would then take perhaps 5 days to correct.

I stated I would contact YouTube to make a complaint about unfair business practices, so this is the reason I'm writing to you.

Even though I may not have my order corrected (and get my money back on 4 devices I didn't want), perhaps another unsuspecting consumer on YouTube will not be tricked by this company.

Thanks for your consideration. My email address is [protected]@aol.com and my cell phone (for texting or calling) is [protected].

David Ceponis

Desired outcome: I get all my money back. I don't want to work with this company and now do not even want the one device. I don't trust them.

YouTube Censorship

I am very upset about YouTube's Censorship policy regarding news concerning the pandemic. The claim by YouTube that it censors "misinformation" is more accurately described as YouTube censoring information that runs contrary to the for profit interests of Big Pharma. We know google is a pharma drug company and we all know youTube is owned by google. If YouTube is going to continue to censor to advance Big Pharma's for profit interests at least just be honest and state that is the case - instead of trying to spin it as protecting the public from "misinformation". The history of Censorship shows that rarely if ever does it bring any benefits to the public. We the public can make up our own minds and we are not little children that needs to be "protected" by your censors. We got along for decades w/o youTube censorship & I am sure we would do fine without it. And its not just censoring for Big Pharma either - clearly youTube censors in a partisan biased way for the Democrat Party of the USA. Clearly seen in censoring Ron Paul Institute. So now youTube has ventured way deep into political censorship & propaganda. Enough already. This is NOT what youTube originally billed itself as. The level of anger towards social media/youTube Censorship is only getting bigger and bigger and sooner rather than later this will manifest as huge decreases in revenues for youTube. Alternatives to youTube are here and growing in popularity and its only a matter of time before you see a giant mass exodus from youTube due to its Censorship policies. Of course YouTube can do what it likes as its a "free country" per se - even though YouTube and google are increasingly make it less free. Just remember that YouTube became what it has become due to being in a democratic country and from democratic processes. To start diminishing those democratic processes is playing with fire and youTube is going to be burned badly if it continues to play with the fire that goes along with Censorship.

Desired outcome: Stop Censoring for Big Pharma/Democrat Party of USA

YouTube Right to monetise

YouTube,
This new "right to monetise" policy is absolutely disgraceful. Your income went up last year, so you cannot be lacking money. This whole situation is nothing short of corporate greed. Do you not care about small creators to the point where you'll force them to have ads on their videos?

Desired outcome: Removal of all ads from all channels not in YPP

The advertisements have absolutely nothing to do with my work & were not placed there with any approval of mine.
I have promoted opioid free anesthesia (OFA) as a means to prevent opioid addiction postoperatively.

YouTube Uncouth videos being posted on my Youtube page

I have been subject to online gang-stalking since 2015. It appears that my You Tube page is rigged and being used to terrorize, harass, bully, psychologically manipulate (NLP), experiment on me and traumatize me. Who ever is behind it seems to know everything about me, my day to day life, what I am saying, events in my life and what will cause me maximal harm.
Today - "How to prevent wet dreams"
Previously - entire page filled with Lesbian videos, trauma, horrid disparaging comments, Targeting, Gang Stalking, dirty jokes, masturbation, farting, terror inducing videos. I have never shown interest in these topics on YouTube or anywhere else- online or offline.
I caught local Muslim neighbors reading my tweets out loud. Complained to the police, but they would not even register it. No response to complaints to Google or Twitter. Other pages also rigged.
Please help.

YouTube Advertising

The ads you play are not representative of the general population of the USA. The ads feature more blacks, more mixed couples, more gays than the real population of the country! Please do not accept these ads as they are offensive and only increase racism!

In addition, you are circumventing the rules as pertains to volume changes in commercials. Sports betting commercials are manipulating their sound waves to increase the sound volume as are others! Please discontinue using these ads!

Desired outcome: Please correct these items!

YouTube Advertisment

I have allways loved youtube. It is always the most consideret way of watching
my vids. In the past I have lost the feeling of having ownership of what is
happening on youtube as thought it's part of family and friends in stead of
not having to ..

Ik ben een nederlander.

Ik heb in vele mate gezien dat sinds de Hollander opgestoomd is er veel veranderd is op het gebied van advertisement. Ik heb de indruk dat er
veel gemanipuleerd word. Ik herken dat de mate waarin de reclame naar voren gebracht word als Hollands. Ik voel de onherkenbare druk die mij
laat starren. Ik heb nog niets gezegd over de hollander die persistent naar
voren gebracht word als goede opinie in plaats van opdringerige Hollander.

Ik hoop dat de reclame op oude voet

Met vriendelijke groet,

de Jong

YouTube Racism

YouTube are refusing to remove racist comments regarding Emma Raducanu and her family's heritage off. I've reported the users who made the racist comments by saying "She's not British" due to being born to Romanian father and Chinese mother in Canada and moved to Kent aged 2. The examples of these users are as follows: https://youtube.com/c/MrSinisterRF%E3%81%86%E3%81%A4%E7%97%85

About YouTube

Screenshot YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing platform that has revolutionized the way people consume and share video content. It was founded in 2005 by three former PayPal employees and was later acquired by Google in 2006. Since then, it has grown to become the second largest search engine in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users.

The platform allows users to upload, share, and view videos on a wide range of topics, from music and entertainment to education and DIY tutorials. It has become a hub for creators, influencers, and brands to connect with their audiences and build communities around their content.

One of the key features of YouTube is its algorithm, which uses machine learning to recommend videos to users based on their viewing history and interests. This has made it easier for users to discover new content and for creators to reach new audiences.

YouTube has also become a major source of revenue for creators, with the platform offering various monetization options such as ads, sponsorships, and merchandise sales. This has led to the rise of a new generation of content creators who have turned their passion into a full-time career.

In recent years, YouTube has faced criticism for its handling of controversial content and its impact on mental health and well-being. However, the platform has taken steps to address these issues, such as implementing stricter community guidelines and providing resources for users to manage their screen time.

Overall, YouTube has had a profound impact on the way we consume and share video content, and it continues to be a major player in the digital landscape.
