  • brianornduff Brian Ornduff (@brianornduff) reported

    I actually took the extension off my chrome browser for a while and tried using @Youtube without seeing the dislikes. It honestly sucks. I use way more often than I already thought I did because I browse a lot of unknown content of unknown quality.

  • Learners04 Muyiwar (@Learners04) reported

    @1stTimeInvest @YouTube Good work. Please does anyone know if there are credible and affordable groups/pools one can pool funds with to get these IDOs?

  • PJEvans66030270 P J Evans (@PJEvans66030270) reported

    @KagroX @YouTube Putting quotation marks around it would help - it requires close reading to get that it's talking about anti-vaxxers.

  • styleadjr StyleadJr (@styleadjr) reported

    @ActuallyKGF @DoctorBenjy @YouTube I think you can tell if it doesn't work by reading the comments and seeing the number of comments. So general rule of thumb for me would be if the likes to comments ratio is good and the comments don't look fake I shall bet on it.Ig in one way liking vids that work would be good

  • PeskyWBA Matt (@PeskyWBA) reported

    @DoctorBenjy @YouTube Yup. Both for things like this and also clickbait videos. Before you could tell within 5 seconds if a video was worth your time based on the dislike ratio. Now without that as guidance I'm exposed to dross video after dross video wasting my time. Awful, awful decision.

  • Carol_Peaslee Carol Peaslee (@Carol_Peaslee) reported

    @YouTube Waters your crazy get help.

  • MadWitchMaddy Ghoul Bun (@MadWitchMaddy) reported

    @MsBreeBaugh @YouTube but even then, tha'ss not gonna result in permanent reaching out - we'll still be more than likely to reject what we see (since most will be terrible anyway) and leave it at that :'D

  • jaycemay1 Jayce Lee May- Stream ITZY's LOCO and Swipe. (@jaycemay1) reported

    @YouTube @liabeIIapup Stop deleting our views. We work hard to help #ITZY achieving their goals.

  • Ann_In_AZ AnnMarieB (@Ann_In_AZ) reported

    @krlstenmckenzie @YouTube @YouTubeCreators Damn. You two have had issues with being hacked lately. I was wondering why your channel was now called Rakuten Rewards Canada Temp. Lol So aggravating. Hope you get some support from YouTube and get it fixed soon. 🤞

  • Mohdope97 Pelumi future Governor of Kogi 🙌🏿 (@Mohdope97) reported

    YouTube will make watching movies annoy you,one scene 2 advert , @YouTube should fix up

  • RSG_Assassin Ryan 🇪🇺 (@RSG_Assassin) reported

    Still not a fan of the change by @YouTube to hide dislikes. Probably one of their worst ideas of all time.

  • Ocean_Luna101 ✨Luna🐧✨ (@Ocean_Luna101) reported

    @YouTube youtube you have a problem with shorts

  • ErisMawal Eris (@ErisMawal) reported

    @MsBreeBaugh @YouTube I bought a new door **** for my bedroom and I came broken. It seemed fixable so I tried to find a video to show me how it should look/work inside. It took 4 HOURS to find a decent ******* video.

  • UnoBrunoMcsauce PleaseNotRodgers (@UnoBrunoMcsauce) reported

    @DoctorBenjy @YouTube I was literally thinking of the same thing the other day. Solution videos, Education videos, Clickbaits. They probably did it to hide their YT Rewind from being the most disliked video on the site because awful PR in the long term.

  • tin_foil_tom Tin Foil Tom (@tin_foil_tom) reported

    @AkMezzoSoprano @NathanBarnatt @YouTube A larger issue is factory farming to support an absolute addiction to meat and often lowest of the low grade quality meat harvested from animals that are treated insanely inhumanly. Instead of fixing this, most people ignore it, and that’s very wrong.

  • insomnochick Insomnochick is unafraid and unapologetic (@insomnochick) reported

    @lily95075891 @YouTube Glad I could help!

  • themagajiya HRH Queen Ameenata (@themagajiya) reported

    @YouTube I have been trying to customize my URL for 2 days unsuccessfully & I meet all requirements. There is no way to speak to anyone. Your service is lacking Please help #nocustomerservice #unhappycustomer

  • Lucey_doll Kitty baby (@Lucey_doll) reported

    @YouTube ummm how can I see dislikes on people's videos again? This is how we pick the best content to watch here. Somone please tell me how I can fix this.

  • Nintega_Dario Nintega Dario (@Nintega_Dario) reported

    @Sonikkukokoro3 @YouTube Yes, but unless everyone sees and corporations are aware, they won't care/acknowledge the issue.

  • zen_n22 Zenn22࿖🥢 (@zen_n22) reported

    @N1Shibe @YouTube 3 mill likes! Seems like quality content

  • reachlegaluk reachlegaluk (@reachlegaluk) reported

    @YouTube appeal process is disgraceful. Not given us a specific reason, all videos are educational and set as private, and still have no clue what went wrong. Absolute shambles. We've lost business revenue as a result. Pointing to the guidelines does not help. We need answers

  • die_rooie_001 Nick (@die_rooie_001) reported

    @thegreybatpone @YouTube Shorts are awful. If I want short videos to grease the groove of my short attention span I'll go to TikTok, which I won't. Now whenever I boot up YouTube I'm firstly presented with a 10 second, dangerously clickable clip, then shorts, then content I already saw.

  • Stelzi79 Stelzi79 (@Stelzi79) reported

    @w4stedspace @YouTube @Artlist_io Well isn't it in Artlist interest to find out who claims there stuff (if they didn't clamed it in the first place)? If they are really that big in that space don't they have someone at YouTube they can pester about that issue?

  • BorgesJoey Happy The Ordinary Cat (@BorgesJoey) reported

    @YouTube Anybody who still uses YouTube is part of the problem in my opinion.. if you want change then I suggest you give them a reason to change

  • MarleyK20 Marley K (@MarleyK20) reported

    @DiazAndytwelve1 @aliban51 @YouTube It's pretty scary how few people don't read or understand world history. It's like we are fast tracking to hell on earth. The entire globe is lost because lying sociopaths have been normalized. We are in big trouble.

  • sleclair09 Steph LeClair (@sleclair09) reported

    @YouTubeCreators @YouTube we really need your help. Our YouTube has been hacked and we no longer have access to it. Seems as though our email is no longer linked to it and someone has already changed our YouTube account name. @krlstenmckenzie

  • sav01 Sheryl Pureblood #rescue #loveofcountry (@sav01) reported

    @scoop1030 @YouTube @RealCandaceO He was just awful to her.

  • csbornwiccan ToW Dedicated (@csbornwiccan) reported

    @JayzTwoCents @YouTube How about this Jay, Hit up the local repair shops. Some of them know their customers very well. Maybe get a couple recommendations on whom, from them. Fix a few local pc's to give back into your immediate community. I would TOTALLY watch that! Tried to comment this on your VOD.

  • TreyM101 Trey (@TreyM101) reported

    @YouTube yeah they're ******* terrible and filled with stupid ****, now bring back dislikes
