YouTube

I use youtube because its where all the videos are, not because it is good. They delete peoples accounts and videos for no reason, and removed features like rating videos by stars. google has ruined this site with ads and censorship. People need to move to other platforms away from youtube and someone should create a search engine that specializes searches for videos thats not google, and finds videos so uploaders who don't use youtube can be found.

• Good looking
• Has a lot of videos to watch
• Playlists have a lot of features
  +The Creator Studio is good I guess

• Broken copyright system, that violates the fair use law most of the time
• Worse, choppier and less customizable layout than before
• Doesn't respect its creators
• It's automatically controlled by robots and not actual humans
• Demonetization everywhere
• Fake companies can claim your videos and get money from them without any trouble
• Videos that actually violate Youtube's community guidelines stay up most of them time (a video with extreme violence was in the trending page recently)
• Subscriptions and notification bells don't work properly
• The PM feature is still there, even though it doesn't work properly
• Some features seem to be "newer and smoother" (even though they aren't) and some seem to be older and even choppier
• Youtube will activate a new system for when you search for "sensitive keywords". Apperantly, according to their blog, they'll be redirecting you to their special playlist with safe videos. Here's what the blog article says: "When people search for sensitive keywords on YouTube, they will be redirected towards a playlist of curated YouTube videos that directly confront and debunk violent extremist messages."

In my opinion, you shouldn't be using Youtube, neither as a content creator or a viewer. Youtube is only good because of the content it has, but most of its good creators are on Vidme now. Only the music industry isn't on Vidme yet.

1/5 It used to be good, but now it's not.

Did you know that google is family-friendly now? Seriously!

:D

Use adblockers on it! They will love it!

One of those things that's only popular because it's popular. Sure, there's a ton of content, but most of it is braindead clickbait trash. One of my favorite creators got locked out for months because of a goofy video he did joking that there were zombies outside his house, and there were guns shown in the video.

YT has become ridiculously heavy handed with censorship, IF, and that's a hell of an IF...you have any viewpoint coming anywhere close to conservative. Yet videos targeted towards pedo trash are abundant. Elsagate is a thing, and it is disgusting.

Meanwhile, there are promoted channels that keep getting into my recommendations over and over although I've given feedback countless times that I'm not interested. For the ten thousandth time, YouTube, I'm not interested in John Oliver. You pushing an agenda or something?

Compensation and revenue for creators has become increasingly restricted. It's all pretty insane at this point.

Much like in life, I'm waiting for the inevitable collapse so I can kick back and laugh.

I will no longer enslave myself to the Google machine, it's tiring to hear how many channels are being demonetized or banned entirely for "hate" speech. Who gave Google permission to abitrarily draw lines around what is considered hateful. They are a company who is known to have a bias against conservatives, which this bias has caused a few Google employees to lose their jobs for it.

YouTube is no longer for the creators, it is for the corporations and a leftist safe space. I will be remaining on YouTube for as long as I can, but I will now rather use the alternatives like PeerTube, Bitchute, or Invidious
