Reviews and Complaints

Hi,

I was listening to child friendly music on youtube (Orchestra Baobab), with children in the room, when an advert came on. The advert was a music video "Evan Michael Green - Nice Voice". The song contained both the N word, which I find highly offensive, and the F word, which then played in my living room in front of young children. I find it highly in-appropriate that this kind of music can just come on without it being requested.

Thanks
Katherine

These videos are being posted on yt kids. A video of a puppet stabbing a bunny, commiting suicide, using a gun, telling kids to use cocaine has no reason to be posted on yt much less yt kids someone pointed it out to me and all though I didn't allow them to watch just hearing the songs my 1 and 2 year old danced around hearing it so it's obviously something kids would continue to watch because they don't know better. As a multi million if not billion dollar company I find it ridiculous that you don't have more rules and regulations on videos posted to yt kids someone should be reviewing these videos before they're allowed to be posted to your site. I add a picture of the video since can't figure out to add the video...

Why am I getting adds when I'm paying ten bucks a month to not have adds. That's [censor]ing rediculous. I don't mean the text adds, I mean the video interrupting annoying as [censor] kind. What the [censor] should I pay for this service when it does not deliver what it promises. I have had it for a while now and had no problems. Today however, I have received two adds. Fix this please.

2 things.

One, why do I need to listen to ads longer than 1 minute? Im not interested in that. *EVERYONE* skips those ads. So why do you even bother?

Two, why am I forced to wait 5 minutes for youtube to buffer, only to have it buffer again 10 seconds later. Why do I need to suffer? It was never like this beforehand, so why can you not do your job and fix this? This is embarrassing. Fix the issue. Its not my goddamn job to wait for youtube to stutter in and out. Do something!

I have an issue where I'm watch RWBY or listening to music with my 4 year old daughter, but regularly get adverts for horror movies, why do you seem to think it ethical to have horror movies advertised before asking the users age? This needs resolved immediately as it is not acceptable.

We need some method to control the types of adverts we get when viewing videos on your services. I think it is both advantageous to you, your advertisers and your users, please feel free to get in touch with me if you wish to discuss this further.

To whom it concerns,
My son and I were watching a video this morning when an advertisement titled "Join US" by "Tom Steyer" started playing. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXl8vRmLeJk)
Both my wife and I were repulsed by the hateful opinions expressed and were embarrassed that our son had to witness such negative expressions of intolerance and disrespect for the opinions of others.
Our son, along with numerous other school kids utilize YouTube for educational purposes but now I am severely worried about destructive thoughts and ideas being pushed out by YouTube.
Instead of intimidating others and pushing for victimization, stratification and segregation of Americans by political zealots such as Mr Steyer, can we not leave the hate speech out of YouTube advertisements? Such things as advertising the impeachment of a sitting US President is both morally and ethically disturbing. If people want to subscribe to such hate and animosity then that's one thing, but to place such complicated and destructive advertisements out as if it was an ad for Tylenol is both offensive and absurd to those who do not prescribe to the tyranny of hate and segregation that Mr Steyer and the Democratic party apparently prescribes too.

Thank You

When I try to update my channel art, what happens is that a little pop up comes up, and a google sign in shows. However, when I click on the sign in, it just prevents me from going o the page (might be my settings, but this sign in part is unimportant). after two tries, it says something along the lines of "try again later."
Ive waited days and it still isn't working for me. Ive looked up videos to help and solutions but it just wont work. I have Cookies enables, and everything. If you could help me, i would deeply appreciate it. Im on google chrome.

Youtube is taking down good content that is not hurting anyone or being negative to anyone in any way. You are taking down content that has guns in it. I feel the people taking this content down has personal beliefs that they do not like guns and they are picking on popular channels. I really do not appreciate you picking on videos that contain guns. I am afraid to mention any of the very popular gun related channels because of retaliation from Youtube. Youtube/Google beliefs is all about equality and and fairness for everyone. Yet you do not show that on youtube. You let videos of people dying being physically beat and bullied stay on youtube but if it has a gun you remove it. Just because you do not believe in certain cultures or political beliefs does not mean you should take them down. I am all about youtube and Google products. The way you are acting as a company is changing that.

Was watching Morph a children's TV programme with my 2 year old daughter when an advert for The Evil Within computer game popped up at the end of the program we were watching. I do not expect my young child to see this advert while we are watching a children's program. It is a very scary computer game and is 18 rated. Why on earth is this advert being linked to a child's TV programme on YouTube? Very very angry

I know money is important for funding YouTube and I am not against ads.

However, I am 100 percent completely against ads (sometimes un skip-able) from horror movies that display death, dark music, violence, and sadly weapons of death.

Human society is suffering. We need the light where we can find it. PLEASE do not subject us to these ads. They offer NO good to the world in any way.

I am sorry for losing control and being critical (I used cap letters) but it is the truth. If we don't speak out against these problems then we aren't being part of the solution.

It is the small things that can help. To me, these dark ads are a type of mental abuse of darkness that enters into the mind. Even if other people do not recognize it as such, this is exactly what it is.

The video I was watching (after the dark ad) was a Max Richter song. He is a beautiful composer. Many of the people who listen to this song say in the comments how his music helps them with depression and even resist suicidal thoughts. I have pain within to think these communities need to watch an add of pure darkness just to find the light.

Thanks for your time,

p. s. I am not an old dude/girl. I am 22 and in college. I have grown up in the technological generation. And I have been a youTUBE guy for awhile. Please don't toss my complaint into the trash. The light is in all of us. maybe this very informal complaint can actually make a difference.

In the last week I have noticed three ads which are randomly shown before different YouTube features. Two are very graphic trailers for horror movies, one with the title of "Snowman" and the other I had to skip fast since my two children were present. There is another which gives orgasm statistics in the first few seconds... How can parents filter what our children view if the adds are inappropriate? Please be more selective in this respect?

On the video [M/V] NU'EST W(뉴이스트 W) - WHERE YOU AT https://youtu.be/5e8-4mBiCSI

The view counting system has been absolutely terrible. The video had over 3 million views and within a few hours views have been removed back down to 2.9 M the fans have been working hard to show support to the artist yet the hard work is been dismissed not to mention the freezing of the views prior for 20 hours for only a small percentage of views during that time to be counted. Please fix this and prevent this from happening in the future. The views are really important to us fans so thank you in advance.

I have a music playlist that I use for my students in class. This last week, the shuffle feature is malfunctioning. It goes to entry 89 and then will not advance beyond that. If I randomly choose another song, it will play that and then shuffle to song 89 again. Could you please look into this shuffle glitch with playlists? I deleted song 89 thinking it might be that song, but it is still stuck on that spot in my playlist. Thank you in advance for looking into this.

On YouTube, somebody made a hate video directed at me. It didn't qualify within community guidelines (bullying/harassment, humiliation using my content, hateful/negative remarks, ) but it took me a month to get it down. The user then re-uploaded the video, and I tried to report it again. I never succeeded. I am tired of incidents like this happening. The video I am trying to report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwiIrNxOFLo

I got online to upload some videos today and noticed that I have 5 pages worth of videos that have been de-monetized. With no explanation as to why. The problem spans all genres of my videos, not just one group or playlist. I have no idea why my videos are being marked as "not suitable for advertisers". I do not post controversial videos and I am fully within the terms and services of YouTube's video guidelines. This needs to be fixed as I am losing what little money I make from this.
I have been posting videos here for 3 1/2 years, have no copyright strikes and have always been within the guidelines.

Your horror movie ads that can’t be skipped stresses me out : (Makes me scared to watch YouTube. Idk what else to say... my lil cousin watches Minecraft videos and it scares me that he’s seeing this horror stuff. I’m in college and I don’t want to see it : (Advertising is great, but I’d love to be able to skip it please : ((I’m not usually the type to complain on an online forum but I am really spooked man)

My 5 year old son and myself were watching a few YouTube videos on 11OCT17. Mature content filter was on and the actual videos we were watching were child orientated. In between videos a Diesel ad came on. I was first concerned about the sexualisation of the ad, but then the "f" word was used. I do not think it appropriate to show adverts like this when young kids could be watching.

I had a gaming channel's video start with an ad (that wasn't even an ad--it wasn' t selling a product) for the Dairy is Scary video by Erin Janus. Even if I thought the video on a whole was completely factual, it discredits itself by including the comparison between an AI (artificial insemination) worker and beastiality. This would be like saying gynecologists get sexually turned on when doing pap smears. I don't have a problem with videos like this existing, but I have a problem with them appearing as an ad.

I rented Blade Runner: Final Cut in HD and only got 480p. Seems many others have had the same problem with no solution. I want a refund. Apparently they want a [censor] ESSAY for this complaint to be noticed, so I'll continue to type until I've hit 350ish words. Please understand my pain here, I've never seen Blade Runner before, I'm a big movie nerd and anything less than 1080p for this movie in particular is kinda unacceptable to me, especially when I paid for it. Please fix this.
