    @YouTube Why doesn't "Don't recommend channel" work? I've been hitting that for months with absolutely NO effect at all. Why is it there? Why doesn't it work?

  • JoshsSevereWx Josh's Severe Weather (@JoshsSevereWx) reported

    @YouTube 's processing is having an outage this morning. I did a long in-depth video on changes to tomorrow's forecast, but no one can watch. Very frustrating. It hopefully will come online but I need to get to work.

  • DahlingMarve **8 (@DahlingMarve) reported

    @lanitaz123 @BaddCompani @YouTube It's been proven that even the act of giving tickets by police for traffic violations can drive crime down. It's pacing and funding for police that can help along with criminals being charged and sentenced.

  • LU7Clips LU7 Television Clips (@LU7Clips) reported

    @KingKiteyy @YouTube I'm having the same issue too. Clearly must be something on YouTube's end.

  • PheneufJerry Joshua The Patriot (@PheneufJerry) reported

    Hello @YouTube @TeamYouTube, It seems that all audio videos on SUGA's YouTube profile have been replaced by unofficial ones that have low views. His profile has 117M views proving that the original videos with higher views were removed. Please fix it, thank you.

  • ChrisMansHereee ChrisMansHere (@ChrisMansHereee) reported

    @burhangee @YouTube Yeah. Maybe YouTube is just having problems right now. Just wait it out.

    @imo_izzy @burhangee @YouTube Honestly all we can do is wait it out. When YouTube is having issues there's nothing really to do. I'm sure it'll be fixed at some point this morning!

    Seems like there may be a bug in @youtube and videos are not being uploaded, anyone having this problem?

  • nerdchacho NerdChacho (@nerdchacho) reported

    @RudiRennkamel I just don't know how to stop the rot either. @YouTube gaslight you into thinking you're at fault when they also do nothing to help you; despite claiming they do. They know they have a problem but it is too big to fix when a shiny some-one else is earning them ad revenue instead.
