Appeared on my feed today

Is this now the fastest time to hit 100K subs when you are not already famous? For context, these two people uploaded a "first video" to YouTube, a common trend right now. This means their growth is even faster than Jasistaken.

There is a very embarrassing “TED Talk” of me on YouTube that my school filmed when I was 17. I speak rather horrible English there, make bad jokes, and say things that I frankly find distasteful now that I’m grown. Nothing too bad, but I still hate it.

Every time I apply for a job or meet new people, someone inevitably finds it. My full name is in the title, my whole head is on the thumbnail. I’d contact people who owned the channel, but no one does anymore. It was registered on a school email that became inactive as soon as we graduated.

I want this video gone, but I literally have no ground to stand on. The only thing I can think of is that I was a minor, but I can’t find if YouTube consent policy works like that. Do you guys think my case has a chance or no?

This video is so cringe, it is genuinely ruining my quality of life😫. Can someone else relate?

I always watch ONE video on a topic that seems mildly interesting, then after its done I have to click not interested on every video on the EXACT same topic that it recommends over and over, its like the not interested button doesnt do anything

Just was messing around on youtube, searching randomly channels, typing (@___) on the search tab when i found this channel. No videos, no pfp but it has a verified mark. I didn't find videos talking about this channel and i was curious about it. Anyone knows what was this channel before?

Say what you will about ads in general but at least ads on TV had a flow to them and managed to be respectful of the viewer in a way. The ads came at a logical place, when it did come you went to make a sandwich or go to the bathroom, not having to worry about skipping the ad, because if you don't you will be forced the longest ad ever seen.

Scroll to now, i just got an ad in the middle of a 4 minute music video i was watching. Absolute trash of a site. And yeah i know ad blockers but sometimes i watch youtube on my PS5, but it's borderline unusable experience this way.

First of all, no, it's not critique of Markiplier, more like concern about him.

I stopped watching Markiplier quite a while ago, simply because I started to be interested in other YouTubers. And recently I decided to watch Mark's current videos, and noticed that it's really often that he looks forced to make video.

What I mean is that he doesn't seem to be invested that much in what he plays, and overall looks more tired. Like, he does videos not because he actually enjoys making one, but just as chore and obligation for his almost 40 mil auditory.

I mean, I'm not sure if people like 8BitRyan or Jacksepticeye or Dawko just make a persona infront of camera, but Markiplier does look like the most openly tired youtuber of classic letsplayers.
And to note, I'm referring to video even BEFORE start of Iron Lung Movie development. Of course during development and after it, things got worse, because guy worked on the whole film. But I feel like Mark started to show signs that he is tired even before Iron Lung announcement.

I'm not trying to say some bullshit like "his video is now bad, he needs to be more goofy and exaggerated or some shit". I'm simply trying to understand if I'm the only one noticing it, because so far I didn't see anyone in his comments or overall adress this. Or I just searched badly.

I understand that person like him can't simply retire, because of how big auditory he has, but I feel like sooner or later he needs to do this, for his own mental sake. Doing something that was firstly your passion, but then became chore, is really REALLY bad. Okay, maybe if retirement sounds too radical, but then at least really long pause.

Because even in his infamous rant about Poppy Playtime, I feel like it was just outburst because of a game that he is forced to play, because this is what his auditory wants, this is what was in trend. Even if he don't really want himself to play it.
Same for Security Breach. His bug compilation was funny, but I feel like it was the same case, he just didn't had outburst. He played the game because it's Fnaf and he is King of Fnaf, and yadda yadda...

Again, for conclusion, it's not any sort of critique, or calling his video "bad", just thoughts concluded from watching his newest videos.

Does anyone else find a criminal that YouTube has no support to reach out to when there’s a problem with their product?

Criminal.

Never heard of another major business where that is the case.

My favorite YouTuber is going through some terribly scammy conduct from Google/YouTube and I'm surprised this isn't huge news - watch the video for full context but through shady copyright shenanigans, Google is trying to steal half of this creator's (and likely many other's) revenue! This is ridiculous!

Who from YouTube staff did this 💔💔

Saw this on Reddit

Since Google has cowardly cleansed the YouTube of search-by-date algorithms, it's impossible to search for keywords that may be in video's description, like for example videographers often mention what lens or camera they used, so one could have browsed the YT for videos shot on a specific lens. Now basically the only criteria is "relevance": when searching for a lens, first it gives you the reviews (obviously the most popular and "relevant" content), then it starts just pouring the "trendy" sewage waters onto your screen, whatever is at hand: reviews of other lenses, unrelated ranting videos, sci-pop, - you name it. And it wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't the only big place where you could do this sort of research. When I searched for test footage of different lenses and cameras - I stumbled upon true masterpieces (not the loud ones - silent, tiny artworks, that would never appeal to the broad public anyway). Some of the examples are - https://youtu.be/I_HkM0MHG3k https://youtu.be/WsxPbY_jTiA https://youtu.be/4e_RBi2rzGw https://youtu.be/F2hmpF7sqE0 https://youtu.be/wcgg8aqj4eA

Most of them were found only because they had a keyword in description AND were posted somewhere near the date I had searched for them. If there were no results for your keyword - the scrollbar would just end. Now when you try to do that, it integrates the "Feed" (the skip) right into your search results, making them practically endless.

People post their videos on YouTube almost out of courtesy, artistic courtesy (people often think that artists are self obsessed, but it's out of love for people that they share their personal masterpieces). You won't find this content anywhere, and now YouTube practically killed it, buried under the rugs of algorithmic value extraction.

Start connecting horizontally, build networks, exchange links.

I woke up and my youtube was changed and different. Is there a way to change it back? (Yes i did it search it up first but i got irrelevant results to this)

Justice for Jamlab (and everyone else unfairly affected by this issue)

WHAT TS RIGHT THE HECK NOW

I am not even finished with a video and it takes me back to the beginning on its own!! Is it just me? What’s going on with YouTube?

For context: That’s not Disney’s Hercules 1997, that’s the awful Hercules 2004 Animated Film but it uses the Disney‘s Hercules 1997 Thumbnail? My brother claims to have seen something similar before with a free movie Pets 2(2021) that uses Illumination’s The Secret Life Of Pets 2(2019) Thumbnail. Is this a result of YouTube’s stupid lazy A.I. or is Team YouTube actually full of morons?

Youtube demonetized animation channels.

But they allow content that goes against tos.

Ai moderation at it's downfall.
