Garbage greed driven service
Garbage greed driven service. 95% forced AD's which are all garbage and 75% of those are scam AD's. A large amount of the content is truly bad. Google in itself has fallen so far.

Some reason my account got shadow banned and they won't tell me why.
Been using youtube with my same account for almost a decade. All of a sudden, this week youtube decided it was going to soft ban my account. It kept displaying "Content not available." on all my videos. It started a little then it became heavy. I've done nothing to warrant a ban but watch videos. I don't even leave comments either. I'm thankful I'm an account hopper so I'm not ban limited by this bs. I’ve run into soft ban issues of youtube’s ai banning me or trying to ban me for some reason. I’m thankful I don’t pay youtube one cent for this service.
I also don’t understand why it’s brick-walling many more useless features behind their paywalls. From 4x speed which would be virtually impossible for most people. To offering a totally useless ai feature that gives songs lyrics but only gives the first few words – oh, wait I could get around this bs with a google search. To making their videos virtually unwatchable without a youtube ad blocker then cracking down on people when it detects that in your browser. The 10 second ads were watchable. Some ads are set so high that the videos are virtually unwatchable. I’m tired of most of the content on youtube being presented by left or right ring liberalists with zero say in what is posted. Now and then I’ll start to see soft porn thumbnails crop up and I just report those. I’m fed up with a lot of the ai slop content that is being presented on youtube these days and people have no shame when they shadow clone sites to cash in on the high views for profit.
I’ll for ever use back door options to get around their bs of age restrictions (first amendment violation) coupled with countries cracking down on their ads. I’ll never pay youtube one cent to bow down to their ads and other bs they’re trying to push.

Recently received notifications that said "This content is not available."
It popped up for every video and I realized it was Google's new attempt at shuttting down ad-blockers. That's it for me, now. I am deleting my Google Accounts and will abandon the plattform as much as I possibly can.

10 years ago would be a different story.
But this app has gotten worse and worse each year.
First of all, the amount of ads is insane, I only use premium because I'm apart of a family subscription, but I would never pay for this slop my self, I have been using ad blockers for years and it's never failed me, and brave works as well.
The website also randomly just freezes, even though all other sites work.
The home page half full of shorts, and they keep on recommending the same thing even if you have watched nothing like it.
This platform has truly gotten to the point where I actually hardly use it anymore, there's a lot of good on it, but nothing of that good comes from Youtube itself.

starting this moment i'm boycotting Youtube for the amount of ads they keep playing in one singe hour of use. its unbearable and super frustrating. one uses it to watch stuf or listen to music yet instead of enjoying it the experience turns horribly wrong because of the recurrence of ads. irritating.

Nobody watch the stupid ads
Too many ads, too many frequent ads.
It is ridiculous. Nobody watch them anyway!!! Do you actually remember what the ad was about? Exactly.
It is a waste of time trying to watch a video in youtube....not going to happen anymore, i am not watching any until they reduce the number of stupid ads.
Ridiculous, F youtube

why YouTube is not All bad…
I love YouTube because it is a good place for people to express themselves and help others. Some YouTubers could be the only reason some people are still alive. It is also where I go for comfort, and I watch people like Lauren Zside, Chillz, and Reema 89.

The App is Beyond Repair. Just Replace the Whole Thing.
YouTube Shorts are broken - you can't scroll down without the website freezing. YouTube Videos are broken - they will freeze and stop playing for no reason, any time, without any indication. YouTube Ads are broken - you can't listen to a song without some AI-based ad, a suspicious ad, or a 'suggestive' ad.
The Review is dated for today, but I've been experiencing this for weeks. And I'm tired of it. It's not even worth it anymore.

YouTube is unsafe for children
Not only do you get lots of unskippable ads—sometimes up to 4 or 5 in a row—but there are also lots and lots of concerning adult content ads, some of which contain minors and never get removed despite the amount of reports. You always get hit with the usual automated reply, 'This did not violate our tos.' This platform is getting worse and worse every day....

Account security issues and poor support make this platform unreliable. Chat restrictions limit interaction, and the user experience has significantly declined. I no longer feel comfortable using it.

Recently, the app seems to have become slower. The feed loads slowly, and sometimes videos freeze for a couple of seconds before starting. Plus, recommendations are often repeated, even if I've already watched them several times.

You tube scams
Why does You tube (google) continue showing adds from scam companies already recognised for what they are? Surely they are equally responsible for assisting scammers and as such should liable. Profits they make from these adds should be seized to compensate victims and other organization affected by there actions. I personally have never been a victim (to my knowledge) but sympathise anybody who has.
