“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!

Awesome site - if only they get the hold on the quantity of ads they force on us to watch before every cool video! Rest: the buffering speed is pretty ok (depending on your broadband duh!)

What used to be a great site has become corrupted that is censoring people.

Racist comments are okay

Animal abuse is okay

Censorship is okay

The site is nothing more than a joke

A lot of the comments are made by idiots, and so are a chunk of the videos, but a vast majority of great videos exist on the website, along with occasional intelligent comment. I would recommend it.

Poor collection of videos. All week, the same videos. I can't watch half of them because of the poor audio that sounds like it's coming out of a tunnel.

I've noticed how hate speech against black women on youtube goes undeleted, but god forbid someone says something about the LGBTQ community, I have seen multiple comments on youtube referring to black women as extremely derogatory names, and those comments obviously stay up for the public to see, racism is allowed on youtube just as long as it's against blacks.

YouTube has become a Nazi entity that practices extreme censorship. YouTube is now a Big-Tech bully that daily violates the constitutional rights of Americans to Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Expression, and Freedom of Religion. SHAME ON YOUTUBE.

Tip for consumers:
Find another platform

There is NO competition to YouTube.com! Vimeo? Dailymotion? Come on!

I believe YouTube.com got worse since Google bought it but it is still the best of the best of the best!

I'm not interested in makeup, vloggers, or other peoples' lives. It's great that people can make a living just making Youtube videos. I followed a few channels with great content and but since they had to post weekly, their videos started to go downhill. That's fine, I could simply unsubscribe and not complain.

Therefore, I can choose the content I could see, at least most of the times. I watch documentaries, sometimes reviews and tutorials, and other times, looking for abstract or obscure music. Overall, YouTube has a lot to offer, and it's mostly free, so I didn't mind the commercials. But sometimes, they just get out of hand and way too many. I could pay to get rid of the ads or I could deal with ads and pay nothing.

With the content that I watch, YouTube could almost replace paying for Netflix. The content you watch reflects the people in the comments. Nowhere in the music I listen to or the videos I watch ever have negative comments, trolls or pointless internet arguments. It's great. I took off one star, because I don't like the fact that my Google Account automatically makes a YouTube account (with a hidden "ghost" channel).
