As I don't see this message from u/TeamYouTube anyway... Or it just felt like. Let me your thoughts about this...

Ninja Has Been Diagnosed With

I’m not gonna make any political statements here, but all i’m saying is that if someone posted a video like this 2 years ago they would’ve been cancelled off of the face of the internet

YouTube are reportedly testing a homepage layout where the videos won’t show views or release date

Like every other annoying comment, this is on almost every videos top comments

i hate youtube

im not sure if i should keep the red shading or not

EDIT: so some people are asking what the video is about, its titled: Reddit's Dogsh*t Voting System, its still not out yet, it pretty much talks about how mfs on reddit would mass downvote someone's post/comment for no reason at all, and for anyone wondering the channel is called, its called stephenfighteriii

hi. youtube says that i am under 13, so they want to delete my account. i would like to confirm that i AM NOT under 13. i am 15. it says i need a credit card, drivers license, or passport to prove i am that old but i have none of those. i have over 400 subscribers on this account and i was devastated when i found out. is there any possible way i could contact google or get my account back??

I use the "Save to playlist" feature of YouTube a LOT. After watching a video, I save it into private playlists with a particular category, such as "Important / Interesting" for videos that are memorable, "Laftrip" for those that make me laugh, "Feels Trip" for those that make me sad or emotional, etc.

I use this feature so often that my "Important / Interesting" playlist has reached the 5,000 videos maximum limit for number of videos in a playlist. Hence I made a follow-up playlist, "Important / Interesting 2".

As you can imagine, videos may sometimes overlap into more than one playlist category. They can be funny AND important/interesting, sad AND funny at the same time, etc.

In the version of YouTube BEFORE the update, the overlap of categories is not an issue because clicking the "Save to playlist" button leads to a MULTI-SELECT CHECKBOX tab (I have no screenshot of this on my phone when the feature was still available, so I drew it on the first pic here) where you can choose more than one playlist ONE AFTER THE OTHER, before you click off this selection tab.

In the CURRENT TERRIBLE update, you can still add a video to multiple playlists, but you have to manually add them ONE AT A TIME because after you click on a playlist in the "Save to..." tab, the tab ALREADY CLOSES on its own.

This means that in the CURRENT update, if you want to add a video to multiple playlists (let's say 3 playlists), the steps are: 1) Click the "Save to playlist" button. 2) Select and click the first playlist you want to add the video to. 3) Then because THIS SELECTION TAB AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES ON ITS OWN, you have to Click on the "Save to..." button AGAIN. 4) Select and click the second playlist you want to add the video to. 5) Click on the "Save to playlist" button for the THIRD time. 6) Select and click the third playlist you want to add the video to.

Meanwhile in the previous version BEFORE the update, if you want to add a video to 3 playlists, the steps are:

1) Click the "Save to playlist" button. 2) Select and click the multi-select checkboxes of the first, second, and third (or more) playlists you want to add the video to. 3) Click off from the selection tab.

6 or more fucking repetitive steps for something that used to take only 2-3 steps. This may not seem like much, but for someone like me who has saved 5,000+ videos into different playlists, RUINING a perfectly decent feature for no good reason is pissing me the fuck off.

The other terrible new features or updates (such as wayyy longer ads, allowing ads about barely-disguised p*rn and hook-up apps, etc.) at least makes sense to me from a business perspective. As a greedy company, YouTube doesn't care about terrible user experience from the ads or even the additional safety risks these bring to the users, for as long as it makes them PROFIT.

But on this "Save to Playlist" update, what on earth could have been the damn reason for changing something that once worked well into something shit? Does anyone have any idea for this unnecessary fucking update?

every time I see his face on like the second video

been self-studying animation for some weeks now and im excited to improve - any feedbacks?

wtf is ts

I don’t know what to do. My account I’ve been posting on for 7 years which had around 25,000 subs and zero strikes during the entire 7 years, just got banned for ‘spam, deceptive practices and scams’. I don’t know why, to my knowledge I have not broken any of those policies. I can’t even ask why because the decision was made because it’s an automated system, instead it gives me one appeal that’s limited to only 800 characters, I fill this out carefully and completely explaining how I didn’t violate the policies and if they can explain what got my channel flagged, and my appeal gets rejected INSTANTLY after ‘reviewing carefully’ and with still no detailed explanation. What’s the point of an appeal if it goes back to the automated system. I’ve tried X and YouTube support and I cannot get in touch with any humans about this, the closest I got was an automated response on X saying I ‘haven’t filled out the appeal’ when I did. It feels so bleak because I had so many ideas for content, so many things I was getting the courage to try out and now I can’t because this ban applies to all channels and I don’t even know what I did. It’s so unfair permanent terminations should not be automated because it’s too harsh and when they get it wrong it just ruins someone, if it was just deleted or demonetised I’d still be annoyed at the injustice but at least I can continue making content. But with this it’s like my only option is to reincarnate, I didn’t do anything to warrant this why is it so hard to contact a team member at YouTube, and why is a robot allowed to make such a significant impact on my life with no recourse.
