    You know @YouTube It would be great if you removed all resolutions on automatic 480p and set them to auto 720p. Why? Because 480 is the worst resolution imaginable for modern PC's and Laptops @YouTube @YouTube

    Yo, @YouTube, what’s up with this jacked-up algorithm? I’m tryna binge one channel, and after EVERY clip, you sling me some random-*** video that’s got ZERO to do with what I’m watching. Fix your damn autoplay.

    @Spenguin9 @tiktok_us @YouTube It truly is. I've been having issues on the channel since 2020. It comes & goes. Most recently when YT shorts started getting monitized the views drop. The vlogs & Livestreams where already affected since 2020 but now they all are being attacked & even the likes be disappearing

    @didyouknowgamin With the amount of money @YouTube must make, you would think they would invest in a decent complaints division. This should be a 5 minute fix, max! Hope you get it back soon.

    @officialbk17 @YouTube it is obviously very stressful and disappointing to lose so much work for such an unfair reason, but you are better than that and I know you will come back stronger than ever and you will succeed even more! wish you all the best.

    So I got my channel taken down on YouTube, and I put a appeal up because I got taken down with only 1 strike and they just gave me the same automated email they do for strike and claim appeals. @YouTube has the worst support team all it is is automated emails.

    @KimmyFalconer @RayJime99416753 @YouTube Typical bam behavior, he begs me to make this place a recording studio. I work my *** off and now It’s now one of the best studios in America, he shows up to try and ruin it, and denies begging me to make it a recording studio. He also did this to my mom during the airBnB days.
