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.
Weak excuse of a media channel, they will censor you, because they dont like the viewpoint even ed n if you follow their guidelines. That on top of being drowned in advertisements after advertisements... the site is a joke.
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.
To be honest i love billie eilish and the music videos are cool to look at, like billie raiding the mall. I LIKEY. But like some of the youtube videos need more views. And i dont want people nasty commenting they pickely fingers over my queen billie PERIODT GET A LIFE STOP BEING MEAN TO BILLIE.

Ok bye STOP HATING BILLIE I MEAN IT GET YR BUTT OFF OF HER AND MOVE ON. BYE!
The people on the site are what makes it. The people who make content and do great work to make entertaining things for anyone to watch for free are the whole of the site and now youtube has decided to put even more ads per each video as well as put them on videos that aren't being monetized by the creators themselves. On top of this the youtube staff is highly hypocritical as they will demonize videos for many things while also playing ads that are actively going against there terms of service. In my example I have reported many sexual explicit ads while some channels will lose there monetization for something as simple as swearing just for youtube to turn around and monetize it for themselves. I find what YouTube is doing is despicable considering anyone watching YouTube is there for the content created by others and YouTube has actively making the platform worse. I wish it wasnt like this and if these things where fixed I would give a five star review for the great people taking time from their own lives to make us content to enjoy for zero payment.
YouTube was a great website a few years ago, but now not so much. For creators they will delete subscribers in order to eliminate monetization since when they do that the creator will not meet their monetization metrics of 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. The platform was great until they got greedy and political. For users, the company arranges the search results according to their politics. Good news is it is still a good place to learn things.
Getting really tired of these fascist Bay Area, West Coast tech companies censoring comments they don't like. These sites started off really cool at first back in the 2000s. There was little moderation, if any, they wanted you to use their site and have fun. Sometime around like 2012, 2013, things started to change, and moderation at these sites got really ridiculous. They value stupid people more than they value intelligent people, especially those who work. If you get into an argument and tell off someone who doesn't have their facts straight, you get punished for it. I've run into some really stupid people who didn't have their facts together. Lay the evidence on them and tell them off, and not long after, you get banned. I feel like I'm in Kindergarten.
The major problem with many of these sites is that when they realize they have no competition, the power gets to their heads and they feel like they can decide what you're allowed to say. The anti-masker stuff is proven wrong and stupid, I don't have a problem with that stuff being removed. Problem is, notorious anti-maskers and COVID hoaxers are allowed to remain on Youtube and Facebook, like Clay Travis and Outkick, but if you criticize politically correct nonsense, they ban you. They basically punish you by banning you without warning, taking all your subs and friends down with it, not even offering you a chance to get a copy. All because you didn't appeal to their liberal, "let's all be friends" San Francisco baloney.
Many of these sites treat their content creators even worse. You will hear decent guys complain all the time that their videos were demonetized. It's just silly. They have no competition and get away with murder. It really is time for Congress and Anti-trust to do something about it. And for the love of God, get these tech firms out of the Bay Area. The area is a big part of the reason the moderation at these sites is so weird.
YouTube is amazing! Search what you want up and there it is! The video you're looking for! I would totally recommend this to everyone. There are millions of videos to watch. YouTube is awesome!
Just another media that promotes police brutality and white supremacy. You will be insulted by every miscreant in the country and if you fire back, you get banned. I would highly suggest boycotting google
YouTube might have been good at some point. It's devolved into a place to watch ads, and not much else. Users get kicked to the curb for NO REASON, then it's a hassle setting up a new account. They do NOTHING about the racist Trump supporters who love to bully others. Hmmm... I wonder if YouTube supports Trump, like FacistBook does? New sheriff in town, so they'd best rethink how they conduct themselves. NEVER PAY THESE PEOPLE! Watch free content if you can stomach the incessant ads but stay away from YouTube premium!
Their Anti-Nude Policy Or Anti-My Boobies Policy Sucks/Nobody Ever Gives Me A Damn Break/&I'am Broke
Eh its great not having to get ads every 5 seconds when watching videos and i like that i can still listen to my music even when i turn my phone off buttt every time i download a bunch of videos to watch when i'm around somewhere without WIFI, they mysteriously delete and than i have to keep redownloading just for them to download and a couple of hours later it pops up showing that i have no downloaded videos ugh so annoying.
Always love to watch youtube, never gets boring with all the new content coming up, but it's abit hard to get monitized these days, hope youtube makes it easier someday
Whenever i want to know about how to do something or want want to learn anything its always my one of the first choice.
Es muy bueno pra mi canal quiero tener mas suscritores para llegar ma s lejo gracias mi amigo por todo
I was $#*!ing watching a video, and it keeps resetting everytime I try to watch a video. And then when I try to reload it slows down. It's starting to piss me off. And then there's people that are toxic. I legit can not take it anymore.
We don't like censoring. I don't like censoring of anyone. No one likes censoring. Why do they censor one side?
YouTube needs to re-evaluate their community standards. Some comments are sexual in nature, and some are just gay! YouTube is not a very family-friendly site.
I used to use this site all the time but their recent policy of deleting videos dubious of covid tells me that they no longer have any interest in free speech.
But then this is google and they are now effectively state supported.
Answer: Not less expensive if you are looking for tall clothing, however they used to have better quality items. There are other companies specializing in tall woman clothing that I can tell you are worth the extra money. Jeans made of real denim, mid-rise meaning just that, etc.
