    @YouTube Trying to watch Youtube on my Roku but the sound is cutting out. Sad that a multi-BILLION dollar corperation doesn't give enough of a **** to fix a fundemental issue.

  • YodaTheWeeb YodaTheWeeb 🔞 (@YodaTheWeeb) reported

    @Sydsnap @YouTube @TeamYouTube It also means major issues where good people can often get hit by the system more than not And better yet, if help is needed it generally just goes to like an email system. Also understandable, but as the goal is to get help, this also comes with some major problems

    @TeamYouTube @YouTube My channel which is NOT a brand channel got deleted when trying to change it to a brand channel. I am not really sure on what to do and I am kind of nervous. Please help me! I know you guys are busy but hopefully I get a response as soon as possible. Thanks.

    @YouTube I am facing this issue from last 6-7 months. I have set video quality preference as data saver still for every video quality becomes 360 and have to manually set it to 144. And it doesn't stay at 144.

    @AeosTrainer9 @ZahirTechBuffet @YouTube Inability of a software to recognise you based on your colour doesn't mean that someone deliberately coded that software to do so. It just that tech doesn't work the same way on different skin colours. For example smartphone cameras aren't as good when it comes to darker skin.

  • chrismardell Christopher Mardell 🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@chrismardell) reported

    @YouTube please fix YT Kids on Google TV so that it supports the same content controls as other versions. So much rubbish content on there and no way to hide it, I’m uninstalling until it’s fixed.

  • KenRobison7 Ken Robison (@KenRobison7) reported

    @xFortune @YouTube Genetics can only account for variation. Nothing else. Transition is impossible with genetics. All major Family groups and Phyla etc have boundaries that they cannot cross. There is a limit to variation / adaptation. It is finite. Check out DR James Tours work

    @YouTube Definitely the problem

    @RandomMnky @YouTube Your still around? When are you going to disappear so no one has to see that god awful face of yours.

  • RedWhiteBlue63 RedWhiteBlue (@RedWhiteBlue63) reported

    @YouTube Why would I put my heart and soul, into a website, where I created something I was proud of, I had no help, then I am left with "DEAD FOLLOWERS"? YouTube is a failed business model.
