YouTube Reviews Summary

YouTube's reputation is increasingly marred by customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to excessive advertisements and perceived censorship. Users express frustration over the platform's reliance on ads, which disrupt viewing experiences and lead many to consider alternatives. Complaints about account suspensions and a lack of transparency regarding community guidelines further exacerbate concerns about customer service. While some users appreciate the vast array of content available, the overall sentiment indicates a growing discontent with YouTube's management practices, prompting calls for more user-friendly policies and a potential shift to competing platforms.

I pay for Utube Premium. They have many good things to watch. And I watch them without ads interfering. However I am so sick to death of renting movies that stop so frequently it's just terrible. I'm paying to rent movies and this is pathetic. Utube needs to fix this, otherwise I will not rent movies here again. Up your game for goodness sake Utube, or lose out to other competitors!

This video site is disgusting! It's full of misleading videos with pornographic thumbnails and links in the description! I've reported over 100 of these nasty videos and channels! Why are they still on the platform?! YouTube SUCKS! I'm using YouMaker! YouMaker isn't corrupt like Screwtube! Leave YouTube and go to YouMaker! Trust me YouMaker is way better than YouTube! There's no arguments in the comments, Less clickbait thumbnails, less drama, no ads and it isn't owned by a corrupt corporation like Google!

There's a continue watching button that pops up during the climax of the 1.5 hour piece of classical music, it automatically stopped the music disturbing my flow and enjoyment right in the middle of the climax point, I will have to listen to it again to get to that point and will probably never feel the same way again in that moment. Very cruel what you did. I hardly ever take the time to listen to and enjoy music because my ears are very sensitive and if I wake them up many things irritate me more, thanks for doing that to me right in the middle of my musical enjoyment, I have ordered $70 worth of food to try and relieve my sensitiveness after this experience.

Removing visibility of dislike counts (luckily there's an extension for that). Moving towards eliminating adblock but if you pay for premium you still get ads. 'Watch later' button now gone completely. 2 x 15 second ads (no skip) on 1 minute long videos. Plus youtubes' plans for advertising on the TV app.

I gave them 1 star, and what do you know, they wouldn't let me submit it. I don't like the place because they allow the posters of videos to delete anyones comments they don't like, like Rob Dyke, he's a known pervert, and when called out he'll delete your comments, Plus YouTube will not allow posters of true crime to say "rape", or "sexual assault ", and they always censor you. I hate that too lace and they need to be shut down.

Some of the videos titles are misleading - deliberately. So why report it when You Tube does nothing?

I like to take Yoga classes on YouTube, but lately, my classes have 2-3 ads that play several times int he middle of the class! They are not skippable either. You are in the middle of an intense workout - holding a yoga pose, only to be interrupted by a bunch of ads! It never used to be this way. What a negative eperience. I wish they would fix this. I have no problem with ads at the beginning or the end of a video, but why in the middle - several times! Ugh!

There is so much content and creativity and I love it! It is so good and has many great YouTubers such as Sourl3monz. He is so good and creative and resourceful. But there are 2 faults I'd like to point out. 1. When you play a game and listen to YouTube at the same time, it is very slow and glitchy. Also, YouTube needs to filter content.

I know they have to pay the bills but recently youtube has become nothing but ads. They show an ad within an ad. Its so bad the ads are longer than the freaking content. I will just watch Netflix now forget it. Please don't fall asleep watching it, they will play a 2 hour commercial on your $#*!

Feedback box is a digital shredder, continues to pump out updates that hurt creators, continue to shove unwanted and OUTSPOKENLY BAD updates and features down everyones throat, refuses feedback in person by call or email so that you cannot contact them, Actively endorses far right extremist propaganda and promotes violence. TERRIBLE website that only continues to survive due to it's absolute monopoly on video hosting. Awful experience. In your face adverts you cannot opt out of for products of scam-level quality run rampant and they're trying to make it harder and harder to avoid them. Really wish someone would try and compete for this market so I could never log into this $#*!ty website ever again.

You can allow the users to upload thumbnails for shorts. So it will help the shorts page to appear more appealing.
