I seem to have gotten a new YouTube update, I’ve watched 3 videos now and every single one has had 2 ads at the start, another 2 ads within a minute of the video starting, and then for the rest of the video it’s always two ads every 2-3 minutes. This is absolutely insane. Not to mention how the ad times are hidden now, so you can’t even see if it’s a 30 second unskippable ad, or one that can be skipped. YouTube was good a couple years ago, now we need a major video streaming platform to rival YouTube to stop this bs. I refuse to buy premium just out of spite. Regular television has less ads than YouTube does.

(Also wth is up with these flares being so nit-picky about who can post? Let me vent bruh)

Bought the movie and I can only play it in czech and hungarian. There is no English option.

Hi everyone,

Three months ago, I posted about the Anymind music revenue split, and I want to extend my gratitude to all those who contributed their insights in the comment section of my post. Thanks to them, I applied for the program and now I'm earning!

For those who may not be familiar, Anymind is essentially a software company that has recently entered the YouTube market. They function as a Multi-Channel Network (MCN) [I believe this is what we call them], and allow creators to use licensed music in their YouTube Shorts. Each month, they share 50% of the revenue generated from this music based on the views on your shorts.

You can check out their music library directly on YouTube.

The reason I am posting this is, I think it's time for me to return the favor which I received from those anonymous guys. Hence, I decided to support fellow YouTube Shorts creators interested in joining the Anymind program. If you want more information, I encourage you to do some research online and try to contact them through email.

But if you’re having trouble finding the right contact or have any questions, feel free to comment below or, even better, DM me. I’m here to help you connect with them directly, usually in a day.

Wishing you all the best in your creative endeavors!

Cheers!

Every new video i watch it just resets to 100%, it damm annoying

has anyone else noticed the really weird nature of the bigo live ads? First of all their CONSTANT. second of all they have a really weird nature almost like their insinuating content. its so uncomfortable tbh.

Watching longer videos on YouTube has become nearly impossible now, we’re fed minute-long ads pretty much every 5 minutes! They try to justify the new longer ads by pushing the message in the title, but they appear just as much as shorter videos. YouTube is pretty much only usable on my laptop with an ad-blocker installed now.

I remember watching this video a few months back and it got thought it was funny that it was recommending me it again 😭🙏🏻

I accidentally deleted youtube video. It has 10k views. Is there a way to restore videos with likes ans views? This happened about 10 hours ago. Thanks.

Fast forwarding or rewinding on mobile requires you to double tap the side of the video. 80% of the time it just switches to fullscreen mode. How do I fix this? Is there a trick to fast forwarding or rewinding?

I'm not complaining or annoyed at this, I'm just really curious since this is something I've noticed over the past few days. Sometimes when I open the YouTube website, I'll notice a video on my home page that I distinctly remember watching years ago. I'm not talking about just any old video, I mean specifically a video that I watched a lot several years ago. Usually it's music that I listened to a lot at the time (although sometimes it's just any random video I watched multiple times) and it's one that I hit the like button on, so it's deep in my Liked Videos playlist. And typically the time I watched it was 7-8 years ago (for reference I was 14-15 at that time). Is there something in the algorithm that causes this? I know the algorithm recommends videos based on what you tend to watch a lot of, but why am I suddenly getting recommendations based on what I watched 8 years ago? And not just other similar videos, but the EXACT SAME videos that I distinctly remember watching and vibing with at the time? Is this happening to anyone else?

Also, a little storytime. I used to do collaborative piano in school and one of the things I did was accompany a choir concert one time 8 years ago. I played on one song, but a different song that was sung in that concert was one I really vibed with and so I later searched it up on YouTube. Well, just a few days ago, it was exactly 8 years to the day since that concert and I happened to open YouTube and THAT SONG I HEARD EXACTLY 8 YEARS AGO randomly popped up in my recommended. I'm talking 8 years TO THE DAY. It could be a coincidence, but also it made me wonder... is the algorithm purposely recommending videos to me that I searched on that day in previous years?

Sorry this post was long, this just has sparked a whole lotta curiosity on how the YouTube algorithm works and I'm genuinely fascinated lol.

The Live video at the top we can clearly see that the channel name is “ASU” but the logo is changed and on the left where the channel list is, it says Tesla, also clearly not in chronological order with that name. The actual Asu guy I’m not exactly sure but he posted videos recent as well, but now I see none of his videos are on the channel, but instead other random videos are on his channel dating back up to a year. How can videos so old show in this account if it was hacked recently? This is what I get when I copy the channel share link, but actual account is @Asu_green_jp : https://youtube.com/@tesla-live-str1?si=P8iHL5PzOT8xyBl7

Ideally not too expensive, especially since I'll likely need to buy additional equipment, like a stand, a filter, and/or a cable.

Please stop replying to the bots, it only fills the replies with stuff talking about the bots instead of the original comments. Like you don't need to say "OkAy I wOnT!!" every time a bot says something.

Are we really not gonna talk about ads like these? About ads what are for specific group of people. And I am sick amd fed up with these ads. I call all my brothers and sisters who use YT, all my brothers at arms to fight against this nonsense. We can't keep sitting idly and taking this stuff. I knlw about way how to stop it amd that's to start mass reporting ads like these. I ask everyone who use YT, if you see ads like these then report it for sexual content or promoting bad thing. They can't keep it up if we all will report their ads and they will have to eventually do something about it. Please if you see ads like these report them immediately, that's only way how we can get rid off them. Let's resolve this omce and for all!!

No, I probably can't afford any of it...

My premium account just got hacked by someone and subsequently removed for "nudity". Id like to pose some questions to an "American" company that seems more concerned with destroying our country and wrecking our youth. Ive heard of quite a few kids under the age of 12 getting caught watching these porn videos masqueraded on YouTube as "cleaning" videos. They aren't even age restricted?!?!? How is a Russian woman cleaning, bent over with her vagina poking out titled "cleaning doggystyle" not pornography??? In some they even show their totally exposed, bare vaginas. The term doggystyle only describes 1 thing YouTube, PORNOGRAPHY. The disclaimer says its a review of clothing, yet most of theses women dont have 1 shred of clothing on?!? Why are the videos obviously filmed in Russia of Russian women, yet "American housewife" is in the title? This company is willfully allowing America's enemies to poison our youth. Children can't watch these videos in say China or Russia, their computers don't allow it. They understand addicting America's youth to porn videos will destroy our countries future (death by a thousand cuts). Im sure I will get nowhere with this as YouTube is a million dollar company and Im just a patriotic American. I expect nothing from this. I will, however warn all the parents on here. Please watch you're children closely as they're under attack. Monitor what they're looking at on their computer because they could be watching "educational porn" or "doggystyle cleaning" videos on their school computers. That ain't gonna end well for em either, I can attest to that!

I tried clearing all site settings etc, it is account specific (youtube channel accpunt specific). Other accounts and google chrome etc is unaffected, it is only affecting my account. The comments push video to left, all black, then i cant click anything else except to reload tab. Any suggestions?
