YouTube has become my go-to destination for entertainment, education, and inspiration. The platform's vast library of videos covers every imaginable topic, from music and gaming to cooking and DIY projects. I appreciate the diversity of content creators on YouTube, each offering their unique perspective and expertise. Whether I'm looking for a quick laugh, learning a new skill, or discovering new music, YouTube never fails to deliver. The user-friendly interface, personalized recommendations, and seamless streaming experience make it easy to lose myself in hours of endless entertainment. With YouTube, there's always something new to discover, and I'm grateful for the endless source of inspiration it provides.
YouTube is a nauseating platform! Does anybody remember a video from 2011 of a girl in a red hoody tossing puppies in a river? Yah YouTube still has her video up on the platform! YouTube also allows dog meat videos on there too 🤢🤮 Along with people doing yoga butt naked and blurred porn even though they have a no nudity policy! I'm switching to Rumble! Rumble isn't full of disgusting and vulgar videos or users stealing YouTubers videos and channel names! People and parents do yourself and your children a favor and switch to Rumble because YouTube is not taking down this crap!
You tube is a constitutional violating trash organization that caters to liberal garbage. They need to be shut down and prosecuted

Wanna watch someone play a game? They've got that. Funny cat video or cute puppy clips? Yup, that's there. Tutorial on how to fix your truck? Yep again. Gross pimple popping? Oh yeah. Inspirational video? You're covered. Youtube has anything you could think of... and some things you didn't.

I have been buying their talks for YEARS and the quality has gone down the drain. You can tell by the labels being different in the exact same pair of pants. Even made out of different materials now. Customers service is atrocious. 45 min on hold several times. Never a call back. Do not buy here

Stop deleting views, simple. How would you like all your hard work simply disappear? And lie about it right to our faces. Y'all ain't slick, we can still see views going down from
'On' and other MV's. Truly
Disgusting. So please give us our 98 million views back. I promise, you will regret ever messing with ARMY.

1) Constant bombardment of random ads and No One bothers to check what they advertise. Porn ads on a cartoon video? Sure why not.
2) Thousands of youtube channels who repeatedly beg their young audience to go buy something.
3) The website would rather promote music videos and political propaganda from official networks rather than wholesome creative videos.
4) And the worst recent change so far... Censorship of video rating.
Want to know if the video you are watching is legitimate or good?
Maybe it's a scam, maybe it's propaganda, maybe it entices violence and hate speech. Well too bad, you have no choice but to watch the video since YouTube disabled user rating via the Dislike button.
5) If you're a creator on the website you have to constantly deal with false copyright claims, bad algorithm and Police Bots that will falsely flag your videos.
Tip for consumers:
Just stay clear of the recommended videos and if you plan on making this website your career... don't.

There is no direct phone or email to communicate with YouTube. What's that tell you? They terminate accounts on a whim and shove ads in your face every 5 minutes. Personally I'd like to see the whole thing get flushed like the turd it is.

Ordered a pair of dress pants first week of November. REceived them with button missing, returned them and have called several times about refund and no one can seem to figure out where my return is. Bad service. It h as s been almost 2 months since I returned them.

They don't tell you that they will not accept returns or exchanges if it was a clearance sale item. I am stuck with two items of clothing that are too small for me and cannot exchange for something else. So much for online shopping.

I found out about alloy in 2012 & feel in love with the company, however, sometime last year things really changed. I went from ordering nearly every month or so to honestly saying if they don't change I will never order from them again

I am new at Youtube and will not be staying. Copyrights are beyond ridiculous, getting very tired of uploading videos to have them rejected. I could not even find a phone number or email address to contact anyone.

For me since I'm using YouTube practically every day, as I'm not using to be just entertained but to be informed, as ignorance kills, I can choose to what to listen too, personally I think is an amazing site to find information and get knowledge, and over all i can say that most of the people who shares a video or gives information have been very responsible, by telling simple facts. It opened my eyes. Brilliant idea. Good job! Keep it safe.

When I first started using youtube it was more of a novelty than a resource. Mostly because it was limited by only what users wanted to show us. Since then though, the have expanded so brilliantly that now you can watch just about anything you could want. I go to the site at least 3-4 times a day to check on something new that might have been updated in my subscriptions or "of interest to me."

I like that you can find literally everything on YouTube. Seriously, whatever comes to your mind - it's all already on the site... Though recently a big amount of advertising has disappointed me, but the site is still irreplaceable.

Lately youtube has been an absolute nightmare. All of my videos get flagged or deleted, channels that I watch get taken down and the ads simply never stop and the related videos are always the same. Can't even use it as a basic video sharing platform anymore. If you're not some corporation with a dedicated team of lawyers you can't have your videos here.

I think I can stay on youtube forever and just can’t stop watching those funny animal videos. But the main idea is that I would like to thank youtube for many videos with reviews which I find very useful. Before buying electronics or anything else I always check youtube for a demo. And in most cases there are couple of good ones which show how people experience

It's ridiculous to see that YouTube has become this censored, and agenda oriented platform. You can no longer watch an informative video about a controversial subject without it being moderated by YouTube's opinions. In addition to this they play an absurd amount of ads which is incredibly annoying as YouTube used to be a good resource for free content. Now it has just become this greedy platform with unhealthy priorities.
Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time on this platform, it's intended to occupy as much of your time as possible. The "social dilemma" is a documentary that goes into great deal on this and is highly recommended for recognizing the objective of YouTube as a big-tech company.

I just watch some fun gaming or sports videos, so Youtube is my fav. Love it.
Some people earn money on likes or subscribers but it never bothered me, actually. If they work hard they should be paid for their efforts.

What was once a brilliant platform for creative minded people to share ideas, comedy though is now increasingly turning into an incredibly censorship filled, corrupt and biased platform, Buffering issues also seem to be getting increasingly worse, even though for some reason ads always work perfectly.

You can spend hours on this site. There are full CD downloads, some full movie downloads, amazing self-made videos, TV shows, your favorite music videos, how-to tutorials. This site has everything and is highly addictive. You can use it for both educational purposes and frivolous purposes. Either way is fine!
One major con:
-Read the comments below the video(s) at your own risk. They can be very rude and nasty. It's best to either block them and/or ignore them. Makes the YouTube experience much more fun if you don't read the comment section.

Recently after more than 20 years as a Google account holder my YouTube "channel' was suspended without warning and without any reason given. I was a YouTube Premium Family Plan subscriber. The service was particularly beneficial to my 79-year-old mother who liked YouTube and YouTube music. I didn't produce or promote content, and didn't engage in hate speech or offensive interactions with other users. I appealed, "suspension" upheld. Search shows many others have experienced same injustice.

I am sick of them removing comments that I have left and seeing them leave comments up over and over when it's liberals saying crap about conservatives. They got on to me once for typing the f word. I typed it fu#k I didn't even spell it out all the way but 3;comments before mine There was a person who used it several times and spelled it out.Do you think it got removed. Hell no

Finally found nice tall jeans (years ago). Now, they are not made as well, but worse yet is the return policy! I returned 4 pair of pants I purchased within one day of receiving them only to find out that they are just too darn busy to deal with giving people back their money. They say once it gets to the warehouse it takes them 14 to 21 days to "receive" it, inspect it, and process it. I have had several things I had to return to different places this year after Christmas and they were all completed within a week. Then they want to charge YOU for the shipping. After making you wait so long for your refund they ought to offer you interest!

When Google acquired YouTube, they ripped me off. I had bought hundreds of albums o Googleplay, all filed on my Android phone which I could listen to anytime without a connection "above." Now, in order hear them, I need to pay a subscription for YouTube.
There's a word for this...
Extortion

There are numerous reasons that this site is a good one... the first being the music videos. They have just about everything when it comes to music. The next thing would be the channels where you can watch anything and everything from commercials, movie clips and much more to people having a video blog. The one thing I do not like though, are all of the ads but if you can deal with them then you're golden!
