YouTube, out of the blue today (Sep. 15 2025) told me I had to sign in to prove I am not a bot. When I did so, I got the worthless material shown in the attached picture. If they are trying to make the site as worthless as they can, they are doing an outstanding job of it. However, it does work in Brave which also keeps the trash and clutter (unskippable ads) out of the content. Brave is starting to look better than Chrome every day.
I Cannot See My Comments Being POSTED AT ALL... SERIOUS MANIPULATION is Going ON Here for The PAST Months... That's WHY My Comments NEVER GOT Any " Like " At All Compared to Other People Got A LOT By CONTRAST 😞 😞... NOT FAIR For Me AT ALL... I have Been TARGETED Un-Fairly!... NOT HAPPY! 😞 😞😞... I checked with my other relative AFTER I Posted My Comments on His Account BUT I Did NOT See My Comments Appeared On His Youtube Screen With The SAME Video CLIP as MINE.
Youtube has recently rolled out a change where in order for your account to view content deemed "age restricted" you need to give them your Driver's License. With the amount of data breaches these companies have there is no way I'd be trusting them with my data. It is completely unacceptable!
You can't watch videos anymore without being bombarded with long unskippable ads, it's terrible. All they do is make money off of you. It used to be so much better and it feels that with each month they make it worse and worse.

Youtube has turned into a giant data farm. On top of the ridiculous amount of ads they now want your legal ID to prove you're an adult. This does nothing but give youtube more data to sell
Too many advertisements that you can not even watch a 2min videos,
Fake videos with fake titles, fake Al videos. Charging slot of money for advertising and then charges alot of money to go advertisement free. Taking alot of money from both side. Providing a rubbish service.
YouTube is forcing viewers to watch intrusive ads and insist them to pay for YouTube Premium to go "ad-free." This is so absurd and it can be described as extortion. They want our money so desperately and they punishes us for their "Terms of Service" policy.
These organizations are liable for lawsuits by their competitors that are having trouble to reach consumers at their extent and the Feds should penalize or seize the liable organizations for their questionable practices.
Particularly, these entities mentioned in the title are complicit to limit as much competition as possible by tampering into the market while not letting little guys (small companies) pick up traction. Some of the features such as the 'Shorts' came from a popular social media application.
Also, I read online that a company that starts with a 'G' owns YouTube is paying millions of dollars to Firefox for setting their search engine as default on their homepage. This is bribery.
They're deliberately engaged in a monopoly. The Antitrust Division should do its job on this tip.
It was horrific, he did not have a clue how to help me. He kept on repeating a failed procedure over and over. He did not know how to communicate, how to listen, how to fix it. The he said I can do it on my own later once I knew how to do it. What is that? I demand a full refund
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
Took away my rights to address my opinions by blocking my ability to comment ( free speech?) Have taken to X, Rumble, truth social in order to communicate with fellow viewers.
"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 made a comment on the BBC channel about what is happening to the Indians who are taking drugs into Africa. They gave me a 24 hour penalty for violating their t&c. I deleted all my channels and subscriptions with Google including email accounts. It's ok for YouTube to send me feeds about Africans being exploited to get my reaction. Their manipulation is pathetic. Because it's just a comment. And if they didn't like that then they definitely won't like my support for the Africans and their plight against these criminally insane bastards running a muck in Africa.
Anyone here 2025. Bots took over this site and it's a sign of death, zero quality control and we want another platform Anyone interested in creating another platform I will be behind you
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.
Tesla's Pi phone looks like the Apple iPhone 16!
Tesla should ask Apple before releasing their product!
Otherwise, you are getting a counterfeit!
YouTube makes my day too much stress and it happened about 3 times now because of automated systems for violation to Community guidelines even tho I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG AND I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN AND DEMAND ALL OF MY THREE ACCOUNTS TO APEAL NOW! And now my account is now gone! 3! THREE OF MY ACCOUNTS ARE GONE BECAUSE OF IT
You tube sucks anymore too many ads.same ads are constantly repeated.all I see is temu and an ad about some woman trying to break into homes.what a joke.
Use at your own risk! They literally will not let you post comments that they do not like. Pathetic Censorship fools! But they let people bash, tell lies about Trump!
Highly recommend a different platform!
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.
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.
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.
