  • drjohnhaiti John McFadden, M.D. (@drjohnhaiti) reported from Clinton, Mississippi

    @KLRNRadio @YouTube @YouTubeInsider Don't take it so seriously. @YouTube has its own set of problems. Look at what the do gooders have done to the google stock. If we have the TV on and watch 2-3 channels we see inaccurate and other material we do not agree with every day.

  • Maccusha Macintosh (@Maccusha) reported from Sgonniki, Moscow Oblast

    Did you guys noticed that image problems on YouTube Xbox One App are gone, but we have another problem: then you watching video it suddenly stops and bringing you back to YouTube menu. @YouTube @Xbox @XboxSupport

  • HugusAurelius Hugus Aurelius 🇵🇹🇵🇱 (@HugusAurelius) reported from Sintra (Santa Maria e São Miguel), Distrito de Lisboa

    @TeamYouTube @gaywonk @YouTube No. We all will address all of the issues with your shitty company and will just move to another website.

  • mick_demarco Housty (@mick_demarco) reported from Greenock, Scotland

    @AbsoluteMooreon @joeyjarvis101 @T_Lockhart @ThawnesWorld @adriantte @comelycentrist @KingCharlesIIX @SealBrotha @BrandonMH1 @gaywonk @YouTube @scrowder Oh I've watched it. His climate change argument cherry picks life ****. Ignoring that worldwide we are losing more ice than we have gained. He is the worst of the worst.

  • KrissyDiggs Diggs (@KrissyDiggs) reported from Kansas City, Kansas

    Maybe I should just quit them all and stick to watching @youtube content... until Youtube ruins itself inevitably too because it can’t help itself.

  • ScottDavis44th Scott Davis (@ScottDavis44th) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @gaywonk @YouTube Please stop protecting me from the internet. I never asked for your help and don't appreciate the collateral damage you have caused with your sociopathic methods.

  • StephenGamesXB1 Stephen Huston 🏳️‍🌈 (@StephenGamesXB1) reported from Redmond, Washington

    @AndyStan1006 @YouTube I’ll say Mixer has always done well with adhereing to policies for all, and that Twitch has gotten better recently. At the same time I haven’t been witness to the worst of of it myself

  • ThiagosActionTV Thiago'sAction TV 🌐 (@ThiagosActionTV) reported from Everett, Massachusetts

    @TrashyLaneBoy @TeamYouTube @gaywonk @YouTube No, I mean the old days when YouTube didn’t have much problem!

  • ElPajarerito David Schas (@ElPajarerito) reported from Cartagena, Departamento de Bolívar

    @YouTube, check your bots and fix what you’ve done to the Channel “Let’s Read” run by @LetsReadCreepy! The bots have made a grave mistake, and we need his channel to stay up and going! #youtube #channel #creepy #horrorstory #horrorthread

  • RingoCali Ringo California (@RingoCali) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @TimWalker25 @Funkess @YouTube @KellyEekockopp @farley697 @gregtutunjian @SharronMonty @cosmorley1 @heardbarry @ivery5000 @DeliciousJazz @patriceGaubert1 @luis111111113 I had no idea who "Harry" was till recently. In fact I still don't other than some boy band kid. I'd see tweets about Harry and thought it was one on Liz II's grandsons. I'm really broken up over missing out. hehehehe...

  • LTHlondon LTH🇬🇧london (@LTHlondon) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @AlfredWintle @BBCNews @SkyNews @Channel4News @vicderbyshire @jonsnowC4 @Ofcom The YouTube, Twitter, Facebook shut down is a problem — but not that big of a problem because no matter how much they think they can shut down opinions, they can’t. @YouTube @Facebook and @Twitter think they are forever. They are not. They will be out. People’s views will remain.

  • ToureDeTrap Top Boy Lo-Fi (@ToureDeTrap) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    We talk about Twitter and Facebook a lot but @YouTube might be the worst,

  • edpadgett Edward Padgett (@edpadgett) reported from La Verne, California

    @brettdl @YouTube OMG that’s terrible 😞

  • MikeSkory Mike Skory (@MikeSkory) reported from Lansing, Michigan

    @gaywonk @YouTube Its ok to talk to yourself...but when you start answering yourself its a problem.

  • thehutchster Hutch (@thehutchster) reported from Lake Worth, Florida

    @gaywonk @YouTube You are the worst person on Twitter... think about that, simply the worst

    @priceisright7 @YouTube Legal issues I’m afraid 😟

  • simardcasanova Olivier Simard-Casanova 🏳️‍🌈 (@simardcasanova) reported from Nancy, Grand Est

    @dc_kurtz @RJZ___ @gaywonk @YouTube You are the worst to debate, because you’re not here to debate: you just come here, shout your ideas pretending it’s a debate, but it’s actually pure posturing and, in this case, bullshit.

  • glenpridgen Glen Pridgen (@glenpridgen) reported from Alpharetta, Georgia

    @districtyoder @AdamSchiavone @pinkhedonist @JasonJasons23 @benshapiro @YouTube And, you are the problem.

    @TeamYouTube @gaywonk @YouTube He needs to be ******* banned what's your problem

  • ShakerTundra L.A Johnson🇨🇦 (@ShakerTundra) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @gaywonk @YouTube The problem is you didn’t get what you wanted so you’re whining like a little ***** (That’s a little dog before you start clutching your pearls again)

  • seanhaskett Sean Haskett (@seanhaskett) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @LordDemosair @cubwolvepack @AshleyOnward @crypt0e @spookperson @gaywonk @YouTube See no legs have been broken. no pain caused.

  • nelsonjdiii John Nelson (@nelsonjdiii) reported from Chapel Hill, North Carolina

    .@YouTube is a broken platform that trades on the optics of inclusion while actively protecting bigots who threaten and harass marginalized people. #HappyPride

  • ashkan AshkanKarbasfrooshan (@ashkan) reported from Montréal, Québec

    @Dragontear @YouTube Agree but issue is YT lumping all channels in one bucket. There need be to be separate types of accounts. Media 101.

  • karlatorres2you Karla (@karlatorres2you) reported from Monrovia, California

    @jupitergirl @YouTube I have a terrible memory. 😕
