Entirely to many fake ads! When I check on purchasing anything as of late, my virus scan warns me of fake sites. YouTube needs to do a better background check on advertisers instead of controlling the... See more

YouTube Ads Suck

Don't get me wrong, YouTube is a decently entertaining platform, but it does have it's issues. The main one being the ads. I think it's outrageous how I get a 15 second un-skippable ad for a 4 second video. Having to pay $10 just to remove the ads is incredibly annoying as well. These ads ruin the entire damn video!!!!!!!!!!

Woke Framing and Censoring and Adds. Not with DuckDuckGo

Woke Framing and Censoring!!! Must i say more? YES, if you want enjoy Youtube without Adds, try DuckDuckGo Browser and you will never get an Add on Youtube. You can also turn search suggestions, comments and shorts on or off—all the things YouTube doesn't let you do. I'm not from DuckDuckGo 😄 Youtube was good very long time ago, now it's the biggest Shit, but with DuckDuckGo is it not sooo annoying. Try it.

Thanks

Thanks, YouTube. I almost got to watch the video I clicked on, but then I was treated to three unskippable 15-second ads instead. Nothing says "great user experience" like spending more time watching ads than content.

Advertising

Advertising
Adverts are annoying
Why do they have to be placed in the middle of a video
Put ads at the beginning and the end
Totally ruins the experience having an advert in the middle of a video

My daughter worked hard to set up her…

My daughter worked hard to set up her you tube music site. She has 1.2k followers. Along came a bot, which was a scam bot, and whoosh, all her hard work gone. When is YouTube going to stop all these bots getting through, surely they have cyber security. Don't you care YouTube that people's hard work has vanished. How would you feel if it was your hard work. Get your act together YouTube.

Absolutely shameful.

Absolutely shameful.

YouTube has become a nonstop parade of rubbish advertisements. No matter what video you try to watch, you’re forced to sit through endless ads that are repetitive, annoying, and often look completely fake, dodgy, or low-quality. It feels like every few minutes another ridiculous advertisement appears, and users are expected to waste their time watching it before they can get back to the content they actually came for.

The platform has become less about videos and more about forcing advertising down people’s throats. The sheer number of ads is bad enough, but the quality of them makes it even worse. Instead of improving the user experience, YouTube seems determined to make it more frustrating with every passing year.

What used to be one of the best websites on the internet now feels like an advertising dump filled with endless interruptions and rubbish promotions. Watching a simple video should not feel like running an obstacle course of ads.

A disgraceful user experience and a perfect example of how to ruin a platform that millions of people once enjoyed.

YouTube is a shambles

YouTube is a shambles. Not only is it hiding people's comments without telling them, it's become a nightmare of advertising. If you've been making comments on YouTube and wondering why the comments aren't getting any responses, you have probably been shadowbanned by YouTube (a process where websites ensure you can see your comment but nobody else can).
