They block and suspend for comments that aren't bullying but yet allow actual hateful, violent, harassing comments. They only hit those that respond to harassing, bullying, hateful comments with penalties. Id actually give them negative five stars if i could for this shoddy, dirty, shady practice

CONSTITUTION VIOLATING COMPANY
January 16, 2025
Updated review

So everyone knows. I'm starting a class action lawsuit against YOUTUBE. This company violates constitutional rights at every turn.
They restricted my first amendment right multiple times. Now it's time to fight back.
Bypass these MORANS or jump right in and let them violate your rights and add yourself to the class action. I have years of evidence. Put yours together.

Unconstitutional company

YOUTUBE CEO NEEDS HELD ACCOUNTABLE. YouTube limits constitutional protected activities.
I'll be suing YouTube for many violations. Looks like lietube will be paying out millions.

"We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube." I have fought YouTube tooth and nail yet they refuse to provide me with evidence of my alleged breaches. When I submitted my appeal, they said it would take at least 2 days for them to review it but in about 15 minutes they came back and said after "careful" consideration, I am guilty of the allegations and they wont be giving back my channel. My channel is not monetised, I post mainly videos about my cat or something funny I have seen, occasionally I do an unpaid product review of a product I like. I have never tried to con anyone, I have never even asked anyone for anything, I have never had a misleading thumbnail or any of the other violations they claim I have done. I had a premium membership which they have refunded at my insistence but so far, no one will let me talk to a supervisor. They claim a supervisor will email me but I am not holding my breath. It is absolutely disgusting that YouTube can treat people like this. They have also stated that I am not allowed to start a new account. What a despicable company!

I have been a YouTube user for over 10 years, regularly subscribing to Premium, and using the platform solely for personal video viewing. I do not run channels or distribute content.

Several years ago, I uploaded personal video content to a private channel for my own use. Recently, I received a notification that my account was suspended due to a violation of community guidelines, allegedly related to this content (though I was not informed which specific content caused the issue).

Until now, I have never had any violations, warnings, or requests to remove content. I was willing to resolve the issue by removing the content myself, but unfortunately, I was not given that option.

I was banned from YouTube after a decade of using the platform with a paid Premium subscription, and I was not provided any opportunity to resolve the issue, which arose for the first time.

Adtube and Censortube
February 13, 2025

As Adtube it tries to force useless ads of unwanted junk on its viewers, which violates my policy of using my PC abd I do nit need that advertised junk even if it came as a gift. And I still do, and always will use my adblcker, soAdAs Censortube it has no problem with spreading hate speech - pefectly ok by their ''guidelines'' but try to critcise the hate speakers and Censortube tries to censor your comments. It will also get hysterical about negative reviews and try to silence them if it can.

By the way, you will never get trully notified if you break any rules from the TOS, they will inform you that they get rid of a specified comment.

Youtube is poorly managed, too many ads, copyrights abuses, bias and favoritism, not to mention it got invaded by bots, porn bots to be precise.

Their ads made it impossible to watch any videos in peace, and they don't gives you any other options than taking the Premium stuff, while they should have fixed the issues on that platform.

At this rate, everyone will abandon it and find an alternative to it.

They float at the very top of the bucket!. If you don't align with their political views they will suspend delete your account!. They also delete your comments that follow community guidelines!. They are responsible for more crime than just about any other website on the internet. They violate first amendment constitutional rights. They do not reply to your emails. And they come preloaded on 99% of the phones sold in america. That should speak volumes to you. They use the information from your phone to approach you. They listen to your phone conversations. And they also read your text messages. Just so you know what you doing

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!

Youtube should change name to Advertising tube

To much clickbait and fake Thumbnails.

Lots of Censorship, so content creatures has to telling things between the lines.
Censorship also harms public health, by promoting harmful information, while censoring information that benefits health

Unwatchable
September 27, 2024

I used to sit through ads, you know, when there weren't 1 every other minute. So I started using an extension to speed up the ads. Then YouTube starts blocking my access to videos with an unstoppable popup, telling me to 'turn off my adblocker'. I used to get away with turning it off, refreshing, and then turning back on. Yet, I am now stuck watching 2 pre-roll ads that I will not watch and will now avoid the company of said ad. Then, every 5 minutes, watch another 2 ads. AND, guess what! The videos ends in 2 ads as well. The greed is getting wayyy too much for me and it's becoming hard for me to want to watch videos on YouTube. Not to mention the home page is garbage now. It's all videos I've already watched, or videos identical to things I've already watched. I would like to get some new creators eventually? PLEASE?! Not to mention the ads on the home page. I obviously dont care about the news nor sports, why keep popping up a screen-length ad to show me those kinds of videos or shorts. Get your act together, YouTube- Rumble's on my radar.

Insufferable
October 4, 2024

YouTube has gone down hill and has hit the trenches. Watching videos on my phone still results in 30 seconds of ads every 2 MINUTES. If I try to watch on my tv I get 2 minutes of ads, then not even a minute of the video, then another 2 minutes of ads. They say "longer ads for fewer breaks for this long video" and then I can only watch a few minutes at a time before I have to watch the SAME ads over and over again. On top of this, the ad pop ups that FORCE you to look at an entire screen of links and buttons with the actual video makes it impossible for you to scroll comments or look at the description of the video unless you hit the X to close it. Algorithm sucks, shows me only videos that I have ALREADY seen. And no, I did not click the filter at the top that says "watch". I love watching videos on YouTube and supporting my favorite content creators but it's become so insufferable with ads that I'm getting tired of supporting. You're a multi BILLION $$ company, why do you want to play SO MANY ads to me (all the same ads, mind you) so that I feel the need to pay for premium. I would if it wasn't so expensive! I won't even get into how all of their ads are just scams anyway. Screw YouTube. Call it "AdTube" now.

This website has brought me from a stupid little boy to an influencer. I owe almost everything I have today to this website. It has been a journey with YouTube, and I wanted to share that with the world. It opens so many possibilities for young and aspiring creators such as myself. Thank you YouTube...
