snack games add
I am disgusted that a 2 year old child can subscribe to a paid service via the app. Whist watching videos of children's programs. I think it's morally unethical to allow paid games services to be avertised on your app and aimed at precschool children. Snack games have been no help on the issue, and this has happened at least 4 times in past 6 months at £3 a time. If you advertise paid products, surley you should have a safeguard in place regarding children and buying. It shouldn't be as easy as one click and subscribed to a paid service. I might take this to the national press, depending on your reply, as I'm sure I'm not the only parent with this issue.
private blocking of videos
Annoyed that youtube has privatly blocked sargon of akkads existential correction video due to the tags being incorrect a very childish move and also misleading as thebtags ticked the boxes for the video unproffessional behaviour once again from a poor customer friendly company.
If you or your employees keep digging thier fingers in the content of creators because you dont agree to it you will find people will move quickly to the competitors.
inappropriate content regulation
Hello,
my complaint is specifically about Cody's lab, or rather, the censure that his channel is unduly undergoing. Other channels and youtubers have said things much more controversial than Cody, and his channel serves the science literacy of the youtube community. I am frankly baffled that he is in a probationary state, and that fact that the process of flagging is so opaque makes me think I should take my information gathering elsewhere. How is one to appeal? I understand that tech likes to run lean, but not committing resources enough to keep a system in some semblance of fairness is counter to the establishment of a community and degrades content.
Thank you,
nms
You could try contacting YouTube's customer service, but in the end they are a private company and have the right to restrict any content they choose.
a playlist deleted from my youtube videos
Dear Sir/Ma
I am writing in regards to the playlist in my library that was deleted. I am aware of the community guidelines rules and policy governing the type of videos that youtube users are allowed to have in their library however, the videos in my playlist entitled "Prophet Mohammed" does not break any if these rules. This video only illustrates the Seerah (Life history) of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and does not contain any violence or any derogative words which may be deemed not suitable for listening. I listen to this videos for educational purpose for islamic learning.
I have 22 videos of in this playlist and it breaks my heart to receive email from youtube saying this Video is been deleted because it does not comply with the community guidelines.
I will appreciate if this videos are restored back in my playlist folder then I can download and save the on my computer for personal use, I may then delete them myself if you don't want it to be in my library.
Please see below for my youtube account details.

youtubes system for strikes and demonetization
Really extreme example today people... the channel Cody's Lab has been suspended for 2 weeks due to a 2nd strike. Really Youtube!? A channel devoted to science and learning has been put down.in what kind of world does what kind of [censor] do things like this.
I'm already pissed as hell over the way you support the liberal viewpoint towards gun channels, hunting channels, and even survival if God forbid a bit of animal blood is shown... your freeaking out of your minds!
This is all working up to major channels and viewers boycotting Youtube and then who will you sell your ads not being viewed too?
spam & brainwashing
Dear Youtubers,
For weeks now, I have to endure, old fart explaining me old farts!
i.e., I am tired of being spammed with pastor David C. Pack messages!
Now why is that pastor fishing in youtube waters?! Not on moral grounds I presume!?
Why do you allow "The restored church of god" to come fishing on your site? On financial grounds?
Is Pastor Pack, youtube's main sponsor & shareholder? In that case, you have to notify your users and I therefore would close my youtube account and go public with that matter! I don't mind him being on once, but not 24/7!
I thought you were a modern, evolutionary platform, pushing and promoting new ideas and not diminishing my freedom of thought in-between video clips!
We are supposed to evolve and not being brainwashed, especially your younger viewers and users!
sincerely yours

your ads on kids videos
My 2 year old watches children videos all tge time but almost every video has a gruesome non smoking ad before it. We will try and catch it before it gets to the bad parts but sometimes its too late. You need to watch what you're puting out there for KIDS to see. Theres one where it looks like the guys fresh out of surgery, another one where the guy takes his teeth out, one where the tar monster is suffocating a teenager. Is this appropriate for young kids?
I am complaining on a movie youtube has
So I rented the movie the thinning and it kept pausing way too much and also I had rented it with HD that was 5 dollars which were not worth it I've never had a problem with YouTube and renting movies on it until now and it's been the worse experience ever the movie would pause and the sound would still continue in the background and there would be pixels all over the screen please I would like my money back it was worth it.
youtube quit attacking conservative channels as well as gun channels
I am sick and tired of you liberal POS [censor] trying to push your liberal bias. Backoff of the Conservatives and the gun channels or we will start boycotting you. You are supposed to be a platform to express your own opinion or hobbies whether your agree with them or not.
One channel you need to stop your bullying tactics is The Military Arms Channel.
i'm complaining about a channel called still small voice
This woman named Clare du bois is misleading people through her video messages. She is asking people to send her money as well as misleading people into believing she is talking to Jesus. I would like to see YouTube shut down her channel to stop these misleading messages reaching listeners. I believe that action against still small voice is necessary and should be considered.
youtube
Recently YouTube has been on the attack of all gun channels, reducing revenue and pulling videos, even giving strikes. This is not okay. Firearms are legal in this country. YouTube is not a law maker. You allow content of people doing drugs, terrorists cutting people's heads off, and all kinds of terrible things. However you have a problem with people talking about and shooting guns? News flash! This is America. We have a constitution that gives us two important things pertinent to this, the first and second amendments. You may have a personal problem with firearms, but YouTube is a platform of free speech, so stop dictating what people can and can't talk about unless it is actually illegal. You know, like drugs and murder... There is more to this world than California. Open your eyes.
doofy the dragon
Video of a dragon stabbing a bunny - shooting a bunny - doing drugs (cocaine) - talking about suicide. These videos can be accessed via Kids YouTube which I find ridiculous considering the content is meant to be kid friendly and safe. I've banned regular YouTube for my kids because of the adult content and we downloaded kids you tube because it is suppose to be safe for kids. And you can't tell me you don't have enough people on the payroll to be able to monitor appropriate content. It needs to be taken off kids you tube immediately.
advertisements cant be close; hindering streaming videos
Date of incident: nov. 01, 2017
Description:
Hey youtube... Ive got a serious problem here. Right now every time I stream in your website.. There are many annoying somewhat repetitive advertisements and there are no close button.. Even if I tried to open it the video would reload.. What is happening? This is really a bother some!
I tried using plug ins to block advertisements or even change the youtube settings for advertisements and it wont work... Those advertisements still keeps coming back. Even if I reset the settings its still visible.
Resolution:
Please help to resolve this by giving me a step by step solution on how to close those advertisements...
youtube policies and terms of use
I've noticed that some of the gun channels that I subscribe to have been removed or are facing closure if they do not conform to YouTubes personal political 'anti-gun' agenda. If that turns out to be the case, I'd like to remind YouTube and their partners that "We the People" make financial decisions based on the moral and ethical behavior of the companies that we do business with daily. I've been searching for an unbiased search engine and have noticed several new video information service providers.
YouTube is a private company and has the right to remove or moderate content. I am sure there are just as many individuals who feel the opposite of the way you feel as there are people who agree with you.
anti federal government ads (u. pager?)
Recently (over the last month), while watching episodes of the FBI Files, Air Disasters, and documentaries on Genetic Engineering, anti Federal Government ads keep popping up. I turn them off about as quickly as they come on. The appear to be related to "U.Pager"?
I don't appreciate being exposed to advertisements geared toward illiterates and the last time I checked, speaking against the Federal Government might be construed as Sedition or malicious speech against the government.
While the current gvt leaves a lot to be desired. A virtuous federal government provides for a stable civilization unlike the wealthy who wish the government's demise.
Please remove these ads or I will complain to the appropriate authorities.
unconstitutional behavior
Date: everyday
Client number: none
Description: youtube has violated mine and many others rights with regard to the firearm community. Demonetizing channels, issuing false strikes before really investigating and making the 2nd amendment community a victim. Oppressing one's 1st amendment because they are pro 2nd amendment is wrong, and I expect more from a company that is supposed to be pro 1st amendment. Remember it applies globally, not when and if it fits your agenda.

advert for happy death day
My husband has been watching music videos with my two young children. We had to send the children out of the room as at the beginning of each music video there was an unskippable advert for Happy Death Day. As you know, this is for a horror film and shows scary images along with the use of weapons. Our children saw enough of the advert to be affected negatively and my daughter is asking questions about guns and why the lady was lay down with funny eyes.
This advert is totally unsuitable to be shown before music videos and during the day when children could be watching.
I think the advertisement type may change based on what type of music videos you are watching. Were the songs and/or videos intended for children?
top channels
why in browse channels in the news and politics section the #1 channel on youtube (The Young Turks) with 3+ million subscribers is not even listed. When the highest on the list is CNN with only 2 million subscribers and the bottom of the list is the Guardian with only 400k which would mean that Secular talk should also be on there since he has 500k
