  • Bi_duffster1397 ❤Corey the Hilary Duff stan❤ (@Bi_duffster1397) reported

    I am so ******* tired of every video I watch on YouTube automatically being in 360p or 480p. This isn't ******* 1997. What the hell? No matter what setting I use I always have to manually change it to 1080p or higher. @YouTube FIX YOUR ****

  • msjlhinton Sean,H (@msjlhinton) reported

    @damenreich @avi @YouTube The English Police do exactly the same... they don't lie in court,they Omit the truth when it doesn't help in their conviction...

  • Gary35218119 Gary (@Gary35218119) reported

    @stevenarchibal2 @YouTube Apparently the C-19 virus may or may not be but the question of the JAB remains open: Neurological issues, rapid cancer, inflammation. It certainly seems a case could be made that exo delivery is part of the mRNA therapeutic. Even the drug companies call the “vax” a gene therapy

  • 51Cards 51Cards (@51Cards) reported

    @YouTube If you freeze frame through it it's obvious she's in on the gag as only one side of it is tricked for the camera. This is the kind of low quality fake video that the dislike counter was used for.

  • DustinMetzger Dustin Metzger (@DustinMetzger) reported

    @MattiHaapoja @YouTube Now if only there was some sort of visual indicator, like ratio or something, that we could use to **** these videos out of our collective viewing queues. @YouTube should work on something like that.

  • QuantumFoxInve1 OceanDeepPTC (@QuantumFoxInve1) reported

    hey @YouTube, stop deleting my friends' legitimate content while continuing to allow scam streams to run rampant please Elon is not constantly live talking about crypto fix it k, thx

  • EGGYFAM2 EGGYFAM (@EGGYFAM2) reported

    Hey @YouTube, can we have a setting to reduce the quality of YT Shorts? There's no quality setting for it and i'm trying to save data to watch more videos.

  • BenCbyer Rajdeep Kumar Roy (@BenCbyer) reported

    I had deleted those illegal YouTube violating videos with immediate effect but still my channel got terminated... @YouTube @YouTubeIndia please help me out I have just started the journey

  • luckycharmsftn Lucky Charms (@luckycharmsftn) reported

    @MasterArrowCode @YouTube I've noticed a similar issue. Not the same kind of content, but definitely different than what's usually suggested.

  • michaelburhan Michael burhan (@michaelburhan) reported

    1 /This is what annoys me about @YouTube you say you want to help your creators but you're only doing it for large followings, when it comes to smaller channels like mine you don't care! I've filed multiple claims to have my video put back but you seem to do nothing.

  • PriceLomonte Pricè Lomonte (@PriceLomonte) reported

    @youtube just wanna choke out their creators put hours of work on their videos and and as soon as they upload a video it gets demonetized right before they publish it like @YouTube just wants people to work for free like then again you got shakira shakes her *** on youtube

  • JesseVa81158025 Jesse V (@JesseVa81158025) reported

    @theresamellrose @YouTube Thank you your such a good person and I respect that. But unfortunately im stubborn and have alot of pride. Ill rather work for my money and invest from that money. I know im weird. My wife can’t even change my mentality. Thank u for the offer. When i can ill look into it. 🙏🏽

  • RazorWulff GKG! (25-15-3) (@RazorWulff) reported

    @VgkDean @LanaRayTK @YouTube Oh no, the media is the worst lol

  • luckycharmsftn Lucky Charms (@luckycharmsftn) reported

    @YouTube why is my suggested video feed completely different than it was yesterday? 90% of the stuff suggested is nowhere close to my interests. Maybe you can fix it soon. If it isn't fixed before I have to pay you again I'll cancel.

  • DanielAcosta710 Daniel Acosta (@DanielAcosta710) reported

    @YouTube @TeamYouTube did you guys change the algorithm or something? Cuz recommendations have been very bad since yesterday, awful... Can't find anything I like

  • MintyCecily ******* Green Catgirl 🍥 (@MintyCecily) reported

    @MaleVTuber @YouTube Oh hey I usually have 25 hour work weeks! But that’s also cuz if I go over that I lose my medicade waiver and I would mentally not be able to handle full time

  • _waztra Waztra (@_waztra) reported

    @Reddit @YouTube Fix your video player

  • Arkirito Artem Chaika (@Arkirito) reported

    Removing dislikes on @YouTube made my personal experience much worse. Why that feature couldn't be made optional for each creator? If I have some knowledge in some specific domain, I can dislike the video that provides adverse info, and it might help other people. It's not hate.

  • VibezGyn GinN🧃 (@VibezGyn) reported

    @YourRAGEz @YouTube how does this work when the video that was reacted to is a YouTube video?

  • sadnige 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘭🪓 (@sadnige) reported

    @YouTube Ok but how did you manage to make the worst decision in your company’s history and remove dislikes?

  • CaydeD7 Omael Forest (@CaydeD7) reported

    @SISCHAN_UCHIHA @YouTube Because quite simply some videos are **** and full of misinformation and typically when you can see how many dislikes videos have it makes it much easier to know if it is a quality video by being able to see that ratio.

  • ByAdamHr Adam Horvath ⚜️ (@ByAdamHr) reported

    @tubics1 @YouTube Improvement recommendation: ability to set custom/any keyword in @tubics1 beside the "forced" recommended ones only. It is a good feature to show these recommendations yet when someone wants to rank for specific kws of phrases it makes the app almost unusable.

  • dolapotalks Dolapo Mabinuori (@dolapotalks) reported

    @chillin662 @tariqnasheed @YouTube They, and us immigrants live like kings in your country too because we choose to work. That's why y'all wailing.

  • IcedTeaFabulous 花街貓貓仔 (@IcedTeaFabulous) reported

    @YouTube My youtube channel(Avery Fabulous)is terminated without any reason. I followed all your policies. But I didn't know why you terminated my channel. I couldn't cancel the channel membership that I subscribed. It still charging me fees. please help.

  • ayau_irwanto Irwanto Ayau (@ayau_irwanto) reported

    @YouTube Hey youtube i have a problem my subscription was error blue icon still pop more and more please help me

    @ProjectLincoln @YouTube @ProjectLincoln never had a ********** issue. Fact Check me😈

  • PaulLavigne17 Paul Lavigne (@PaulLavigne17) reported

    @rwiinc @cvpayne @YouTube Same in Canada rates unchanged till Match. Imo, it a hope and a prayer play. No one want the market to crash, but they know it will.

  • trentwebstervo Trent Webster (@trentwebstervo) reported

    Hey, @YouTube @YouTubeCreators How about you help my boy @GoldenFox17 get his channel back from the CryptoShitters who hacked it?

  • MSEdinMom livelifenow 🧡 (@MSEdinMom) reported

    @AaronBosterMD @YouTube Can you really work and walk at the same time? I'm not sure I could concentrate on both. I could speak I think, but not do any computer related work. I'm interested in how you find that. Great idea though! x
