“Endless Entertainment with YouTube”

SOUMYA RANJAN B.
4/23/24

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.

“Full of animal abuse, YouTuber impersonators and scammers!”

Izzy S.
9/22/24

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!

Being a 5'10,120lb female, finding the perfect fit jeans was nearly impossible. Ubtil I found Alloy. They were always a perfect fit and reasonably priced. I couldn't of been happier. However, the quality has taken a dive and tge sizes all the sudden changed. Not all tall woman are thick! The styles and options have even become less abd less. I am highly disappointed with these changes. Now where do I go!

Was having trouble having my order processed... waited on the phone for 15 mins for someone to tell me theyre not sure why and would call back tmrrw. No one ever called me back.

A week later I was able to order and they sent me a 32" inseam pair of pants when I ordered a 37". The most expensive pair of pants were huge. Unable to get the return application to work. Sent an email... and another... and another... aaaand another... still waiting 2 weeks later for any sort of human response.

Terrible... so disappointed. Will never order from here again.

Youtube makes money off of Youtube channels that arent even monetized. They make money off of ads but the worst part is in this case the creators dont even gain anything from it which is stupid and corrupt.

Why not 5 stars you ask?

BECAUSE there's never a straight forward DOWNLOAD button to save the videos you like. You have to circumvent this major inconvenience either with 3rd party sites, browser addons or software.

Just add a goddamn download button! What's the problem?

I absolutely hate the YouTube Music Player that Google made us switch to after Google bought YouTube.
The Player lost Music that I paid money for and it will not play my recorded music that I made. Google Player was great. YouTube is the worse.
I wish I could go back!

I have ordered from Alloy three times in the past two months. They have lost TWO OF THE THREE orders. Same routine, I call them, they check the order number from the confirmation email, and state they have no record of my order. I'm sad to have to stop ordering from them, as they have a great selection of tall sizes, but they seem to have no explanation as to why these orders continue to get lost. Moving on to the next- suggest you do the same!

I have very little qualms with YouTube in general, YouTube music however is a different story and because I cannot find a separate page for YouTube Music it's going here instead. Aside from the poor quality of audio on certain songs, the lack of lyrics and more importantly correct lyrics a lot of music is missing from the site or certain artists are missing. Considering Google moved (forced) all their customers off of Google Play (which had a minute amount of the issues mentioned above) is strange that it wasn't done correctly. They mentioned that all music from Google Play would be accessible from YouTube Music... WRONG.

I would say I'm shocked they'd blatantly lie to their loyal customers but I'd be a fool if I believed those words, shameful.

ALLOY APPAREL has by far the worst customer service ever! Not only that, the process they run to conduct business needs an extreme makeover. I placed an order months ago and they assured me it would be fulfilled by a certain date, it never was, I called several times and spoke with many different reps and they all had different incorrect info, the order was never fulfilled, I asked for my money back. I will NEVER shop here again!

I think YouTube is great and I would say i have learned more on YouTube in the past 3 years than i did in college. I think YouTube is the best site on the net for DIY projects and it's constantly improving with updates. Also I rarely see any nudity and the YouTube community is fairly strict on all user video content. A+++

In planning my travels, I landed on this informative, creative, and dynamic YouTube channel called Myidentitymag. The videos on this channel offer a variety of heritage topics from Native American Heritage Month, to interesting videos on Hispanic Heritage Month. The #shorts videos show some awesome recipes, food, and travelvog from around the world. There are also scenic videos with cool views of places I'd like to visit like Italy, Greece, and Asia. My Identity Mag is my go to YouTube channel to learn about diversity, travel tips, and street food.

A five minute video plus ads has gone up to 20 minute. There needs to be another mass shooting. It won't change anything, but it'll put a smile on my face.

BUYER BEWARE OF ALLOY APPAREL. Placed my first order of multiple items recently. Was very disappointed by the quality of the clothing. Returned 3 items (wanted to return all of them but I was trying to be nice!). They issued me only partial credit for my returns and, worse than that, despite my request that they put the refund on my credit card, they issued me STORE CREDIT instead. After 2 unanswered emails and 2 phone calls, they tell me the reason for partial credit and only STORE CREDIT is because the items I returned were damaged somehow which is an outright lie. I tried the items on once and returned them with labels attached. I order from a lot of online and catalog clothing merchants and had come to take for granted they could be counted on to deal honestly with customers. Wrong! Buyer beware of this racket called Alloy Apparel.

I recently made my first Alloy purchase after learning about the company years ago. I had a good experience with receiving my items timely, and even received my refund for returned items about 2 weeks after my items were received. I'm 5'11', 160lbs and ordered a long-sleeve sweater that turned out to be 3/4 sleeves on me (still cute though and I'm keeping). Also orderd a long sleeve button up that had sleeves past my wrists! Yayyy! My typical size 8 jean size is too small for this company, so I had to get an 11 jean (32 inseam) with alloy. These are juniors sizes, so you'll have to size up if you are not a junior size. The jeans are cute, but the wash label says not to dry, so I hang dry. Clearly not the highest quality denim, but they do have a quality look so I'm happy. I will order jeans and tops from them again.

Deleted artists views, supports groomers (pedos), and the system sucks,. BTS achieved over a 100M views on their newly released music video titled "ON". There is literally an active FBI investigation against "Onision" and his husband, yet he is still able to have a platform. YouTube is trash.

Absolutely disgusting and horrendous use of overpower and gaslighting from the loxist jews who own youtube and google that are run together. This is why blacks should not mix with Whites, even black people say the black people are the most racist and White people are only protecting themselves and their borders and the countries that refuse others to respect the constitutional rights and non invasion of White countries/continents, Asia and Africa have their own, sod off! Light skinned jews are not White people! Stop the racism on White people FFS.

Tip for consumers:
