    @HercNav130 @slpng_giants @YouTube That doesn’t mean Sleeping Giants doing this is a good use of a large social platform (with an obviously active and energetic following) either though. Steven Crowder is not the source of all of America’s ills. Frankly, I think there are more serious issues to attend to.

  • bbsister6 #allbymyself (@bbsister6) reported

    @HobiDreams @YouTube We FAM aren’t saying that her POV isn’t valid or have validity... who’s pitting us against each other? Who’s laughing at us while making money. To focus on the squabbling is the trick. Sue or don’t but remember if Cardi is “problem”then “ Candace” isn’t the problem solver

  • anarchoKeith Keith ••• anarcho-twitch streamer era (@anarchoKeith) reported

    @YouTube These kinds of obviously fraudulent "copyright troll" claims should NOT be allowed on your platform. Fix this or creators will leave for other, better services.

  • shafiburfat Shafi Burfat (@shafiburfat) reported

    @DutchUyghurHR @mustikhan @YouTube China's state terror, barbarism and human rights abuses in Xinjiang have taken a terrible turn in the world. China, Pakistan and North Korea are moving from the worst to the horrible in terms of human rights.

  • BamBOOOOOOOZLE BamBOOZLE (@BamBOOOOOOOZLE) reported

    @YouTube Can't sign in to the Xbox One app, the /activate process doesn't work at all, nothing at all to help on the support section. Reinstalling etc. doesn't help. Help.

    @MZHemingway @YouTube This is f**ken awful ... What a disgrace ... What happened to my country??!! This is not the USA I came to love!

  • slpng_giants Sleeping Giants (@slpng_giants) reported

    @CincinnatusJohn @YouTube Sure, it’s infuriating when they don’t actually enforce their clear Terms of Service. It’s well documented that most of these platforms do a terrible job of doing that. The Terms are clear. The enforcement is not. It doesn’t work with their business model of rewarding engagement.

  • Justawhiteguy justawhiteguy (@Justawhiteguy) reported

    @MZHemingway @YouTube I've read a bunch of replies to this tweet. So what are any of you armchair warriors going to do about it? This reminds me of the Texas woman at BoA who got arrested just this wk for not wearing a mask when TX Doesn't have a mask mandate. She asked for help&no1came to her aide

  • MWConcertVideo Chris (@MWConcertVideo) reported

    Why don't we have automatic translation on the @YouTube app? Every time someone comments on one of my videos in a language I don't read, I have to screen capture, go to Photos and then run Google Lens to translate it. This is stupid. Please fix this @Google #Google #YouTube

  • info2tele info2tele (@info2tele) reported

    @opalwordpress @YouTube Beware! I bought Lexrider which doesn't work with Elementor: Opal_WP refuses its help. He's a crook: he took my money... Don't buy these themes! He's a thief.

  • GrapplingGaming Grappling with Gaming (@GrapplingGaming) reported

    @GreatBrianLast @TheJimCornette @YouTube I think Jim’s scenario was a lot better. It’s not just about the initial spectacle, it’s doing stuff that makes sense. I can see where people are disagreeing as they put in the work, just think too many wrestlers have to work smarter than this.

    Hey @YouTube I have #AppleTV 4K and I can see previews but I get a “something went wrong“ error for all videos. S’up with dat? Was fine yesterday.

  • TheEagleYT TheEagleProject (@TheEagleYT) reported

    @TheFlavoredSoda @YouTube Haha I wish. I just shared it cuz this dude took a huge investment blowing up his engine hoping for the video to blow up so he could earn enough money to fix the car and it didn’t work so I felt like I should share haha. I did edit 1 video for this guy tho fun fact.
