reviews and complaints

I am concerned about the increase of political dis-information advertising on YouTube. I am seeing more highly-politicized, right wing fringe group advertising cropping up. When I choose to play a video, more often than in the past, the advertisements that come up have been aggressive right-wing campaigns on the healthcare debate, and inappropriate disinformation about Trump's political problems. I find this extremely offensive. I expect I am not the only one that is highly concerned about this. It can't be in YouTube's best interest. This type of advertising/misinformation is not in my interest or in the interest of the American public at large. YouTube continuing to accept this kind of advertising is a dealbreaker for me. Responsible public companies do not accept these kinds of revenues.

Youtube will constantly recommend videos that mostly appear on the trending tab; sports, politics, etc. Despite me never watching anything related (I've checked my history), they keep recommending them and no matter how many times I click not interested or "don't recommend videos from this channel" they keep on coming. At times like these I can't help but think about how [censored]ty their recommendation system is.

This guy Branson Tay https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxzZR5H3_WiIQgLMNuX0FA
made countless videos with different titles & used shortened links for purpose of obtaining referral fees by inducing innocent YouTube audiences to support the scammers he is referring traffic to, spamming "Easy Income Online". Example of online scams is SquishyCash.com whom collect actual survey fees from brands such as Subway, BBC News & etc at abt $5 to $8 Per Survey Done by browsers. But squishycash.com will only pay these fellows 1ct, 3ct or 11ct. This is fraud and scam.

youtube suspended the count on my views 5 years ago. I don't know why. They have still suspended the count on my views 5 years later and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!
MY YOUTUBE PAGE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjp0IJa3Ov0VlT1iS9seGlg?view_as=subscriber ONE of my videos where youtube has stopped counting views for the past 5 years!~! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mniRCyvykqA&t=4s

As of this week (the week of July 15, 2019), I was able to share videos from a specific time. Sometime during this week, this functionality was unpleasantly and surprisingly removed. I can still append &t=SECONDS to the end of a video, but very much depended on the previous method.

Pick any video on YouTube. (For example, I'm using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juPhGJPT2pE) Click the SHARE button, then notice how there's no option to set the time. For another example, visit this link and notice it starts near the end due to the &t=743 at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9TzqNQBmr0&feature=youtu.be&t=743

Thankee for fixing it!

Smile! Jesus loves you!

Since I have no other choice, I am trying desperately to watch the phillies/dodgers game on youtube. The game comes on for about 30 seconds, then the screen freezes, says "loading," but never loads!@#$! Apparently, youtube can't handle the viewer volume, so fans lose out! Have rebooted youtube channel many times, same frustrating result. If you can't deliver, don't promise!

I am trying to watch mlb game on my tv app, provided by comcast xfinity. Have already called comcast about issue. They, of course, say it is youtube's problem.

All I know is I can't watch the game. I don't care who's problem it is. I just want it fixed.

Again, don't promise if you can't deliver. I realize youtube must have cut a deal with mlb. You both need to stay out of this. I pay my cable company to watch the games. Youtube and mlb need to let them do their job!

Don't know why I am writing this. Will no doubt fall on deaf ears!

I'm watching my usual braindead feed on Youtube when up comes a suggestion I watch Tommy Robinson, that nazi [censored]. Sorry, not clicking on it, just to remove it, not clicking on it once. He's a racist and a Nazi and how dare you suggest him to me. I've never watched Nazi stuff. Or racist stuff. That is totally uncalled for. Yes, you probably don't live in the UK, so you don't know how evil and nasty he is, but trust me, he is. If he appeared in my search results, fine. But as a watch suggestion? I watch trashy pop, Game of Thrones videos, some leftwing political content and a lot of ASMR. But even if I watched a wider range of stuff, i'm sorry, you have no business promoting him. He's not "a libertarian" or "a rightwing agitator" or some kind of Ann Coulter, he's a full-on racist. I'm disgusted and, frankly, insulted. I'm not saying remove the video - though you removed Robin Thicke's blurred lines I heard - but do not ever show it me in my suggestion feed again. Please. Ever.

This may be a bogus address they utilize just to hide their location. I purchased a service of business credit building from this company on April 20, 2019. They guaranteed 60-75days 50k-60k in business credit. I had the business started on my own and the small steps I did towards what was needed to gain business credit always showed an immediate result, ie an email address or piece of mail. Since I turned over the job to this company I haven't received one email, or any sign that they have done any work. Could not even find myself listed on Google or other platforms. The second payment of 250 was due the following month May 20, 2019 for a total of $500. After I made the payment they emailed me saying I will start to see emails flood my inbox. After about a week of no emails I was concerned. I inquired with them about this and what was the progress. When the guy confused my brother's company with mine that was the first red flag. There's no way they could have been linked since my brother and I have two separate emails, paid from our own accounts and use two different businesses. Needless to say my brother was screwed over as well. And he purchased services for two of his businesses. I continued to monitor my email and inquire with them if there was anything needed of me. The answer always vague. It would be along the lines of no we got it covered these things take time. When I pressed them about not receiving emails they began to change their story. 2nd red flag. 3rd red flag he gave me a cpn number that I didn't ask for. It is coming on 90 days. I've requested a full refund and haven't gotten a reply. This company does not use a payment service that allows you to dispute them. They have done their homework on which one to choose and that is Zelle. These are not affiliates of Gboogie these are his actual partners and he himself that are ripping people off. I was cautious to if they were just posting old videos of his voice since there would be no dates provided. I informed them of this. And the following day Gboogie posted a video making mention of it. That's when I confirmed it's actually him. I just didn't know he was a crook at the time. He had videos of him living off the land and investing in agriculture. He appeared honorable and not greedy. I was wrong. I too reviewed the the complaints a few years back on this company when I became interested. And I too felt that agents or false claims were being brought against them. Now I'm on the other side of the looking glass and I regret working with them. It bothers me more since I felt I did my homework and crossed all my t's and dotted all my I's before jumping in. And I feel bad for not believing in myself to continue to do it on my end before he resurfaced with the recent videos. He disappears for months to years at a time and now I can see why. If I ever find this cat, he and his partners are gonna wish they had never screwed one person over. Don't pay this guy your money. And if Gboogie or any of his partners come on here with a bs rebuttal I'll just post the full email conversation. Attached are some of the conversations. It was too much to do from my phone. Dates read from bottom to top. The service provided is fully disclosed by him in the email along with the time frame.

I understand that YouTube wants to capitalize on the people watching videos to the maximum extent possible, but injecting a commercial into a video every 3 minutes is absolutely absurd and abusive. I'm sick and tired of having to wade through a mountain of unwanted garbage ads four or five times in a 12 to 15 minute-long video. You're way over the line with this saturation. I do not watch these ads and I've made a personal vow to never buy any product shoved down my throat by YouTube. Also I will never subscribe to the YouTube tv streaming service because I will never support any company that shows such complete disregard of my time. Everybody likes money, but you're way over the limit. Is this you and your parent company Google can do? Pathetic.

Since when the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrials go against the interests of the community and users?
News about UFOs and extraterrestrials are all over the mainstream media, even the president was asked about it.

But what worries me and what I consider a blatant injustice is the partiality with which your Policy team judges what is against the interests of the community. I give two examples:

-The secureteam10 channel that shares the same content type that I was recently demonetized, because this channel has a huge amount of fans that submerged your emails and twitter with protests, your policy team, after a few days re-monetized the channel secureteam10
-Other channel is the thirdphaseofmoon, which was demonetized and in few days was again monetized.

These two channels are an example of the partiality with which your policy team judges who goes against the interests of the community and users.

My youtube channel is an entertainment channel that shares UFO, extraterrestrial, and related content.
Nothing on my channel goes against the interests of the community or users.

Hello YouTube,

Do you condone the actions of Christopher Cukos? You do realize that his calling the police on a black man is a hostile, racist act of violence. Since it's not yet a crime, the only retribution is getting people like him fired from their jobs when they commit racist, hostile acts of violence against black people. White people that call the police and black people to "keep them in line" are calling for a death sentence and are not doing it out of concern or fear. These actions are hostile, evil intension to bring harm to black people. With the culture in America of police brutality and black men dying at the hands of police officers, it is a Christopher Cukor took it upon himself to try and bring harm to a black man by calling the police and using "white privilege" to push an agenda of racism and bigotry. If you support Christopher, that means you support brutality, discrimination, racism and bigotry against black people! The world is watching, what will you do for justice to the innocent black man?

This person is on video being a disgusting human being to a person waiting for his friend in front of a building where he works for your company. This man works for YOUTUBE. You need to do something about this disgusting person. By continuing to employ him you are saying that this behavior is okay with you. You need to fire him and make an example out of him. Show the world that you do not tolerate or employ racists. https://www.facebook.com/OccupyDemocrats/videos/304490070304888/?hc_ref=ARToGXikkEO9BKmj1Nu-U9EkzfOI0sRLxOthiKWb0NsRX0DAm5xuP7i54vCUAnMV4pg&fref=gs&dti=858448220940026&hc_location=group

Thank You

I would like to report for the second time, the channel, Bloveslife for hacking my cell phone. They have installed spyware/malware which enables them to listen in to my personal settings/surroundings. They are violating my private space/life. I am not a YouTubed. I only watch videos. I do not make videos. Please contact them compelling them to stop. If they refuse or even deny it, tell them I will only be compelled to file a lawsuit. Thanks!

I and many friends have been youtube subscribers for years now and enjoy most of your content and its availability. What we don't enjoy is you continuing to retain racist dirtbags like Chris Cukor as part of your organization. In fact his disgusting and selfish public "apology" only made him look worse for where. Please take an opportunity to see if this person is someone that you want to be representing the values of your company. Here is an opportunity for you to do the right thing and remove him.

I have reached out numerous times with Youtube nonprofit and have not resolved the issue of activating our nonprofit account. We have been APPROVED since 2015 and only discovered a little over a month ago that our account has not been ACTIVATED. Youtube staff closed out our ticket# [protected] after our detailed explanations of why her offered solution cannot be accomplished. There have been other staffs noting us wait further for our account activation. We have waited four years and now recently over a month of them being aware of the issue. I don't know where else to go since Youtube seem to be a different department and on its own, it appears they don't have to be accountable to Google. We've filled out the help form for Youtube nonprofit and posted our issue in the community help with no success.

Fire your employee Chris Cukor for racially profiling a black man entering his apartment and refusing to listen inmate a call to 911 putting that gentleman in danger for his life I will no longer that all my lights on my channel will see this video on YouTube with Personnel working in this division he is racist and probably pulling all types of shenanigans thank you

I have just found out youtube are banning all hacking tutorials? Well I have recently decided to change careers at 40 years old, I am currently studying for the compTIA A+ with the intention of quickly moving up to Ethical Hacker/Penetration tester and and have found the countless videos and tutorials I have watched on your website to be invaluable and must admit I am devastated to hear this news... Know this, upon the removal of these much needed sources of knowledge for countless people all over the world using your service to try and better themselves and move up in the world I will have no option but to delete anything I have posted, my fiends, my wife, her friends and anyone else that will listen either in person or online in any of the numerous forums and reddit posts I intend flooding to delete everything and never return to your fly by night dictatorship website. There are many alternatives.

I couldn't capture the link or forward for 'complaint' but I've seen three different ads over the past couple of weeks that are blatant propaganda. They pose as "on the street" questions to passersby … saying "did you know?" And then present (in documentary fashion) absolute fiction.

These so called ads that you allow, are beyond "annoying commericals". They present lies. False information with a strong, right-leaning political agenda. Unfortunately, as much as we'd like to think that people are discerning, most are not! They see it, and believe it.

What happened to Truth in Advertising on You Tube?

we are a genuine music production house in Orissa India.
We are non profit based and helping out struggling artists at our own costs of studio recording and mixing and technician fees.

we have more than 80 videos uploaded which never violate any copyrights.
We have used few free open source photographs framed by our local friends with their permission, and used those same photos in creating video for most of the songs.

hence you tube has been rejecting our monetization since 3 months.
They should consider that its one of popular and non profit channel helping many poor artists to fulfil their dreams at our own pocket expenses.

If anything is wrong, you tube can warn us and we will take care in future. But rejecting monetization is embarasshing.

also there is no way to contact them/ call them directly.

someone please help us
