Why does YouTube treat creators differently?

Okay, I’ve noticed that some YouTubers were terminated for violating their terms of service and some were not despite what they’ve done;

• XboxAddictionz was terminated for “severe harassment and bullying” as his videos showed him trolling other players in games, typically Minecraft.

• SML (formerly SuperMarioLogan) is notorious for making videos of a foul mouthed and aggressive character named Jeffy. While YouTube hasn’t done much aside from censoring his videos by age restricting them and deleting some videos they think violates their guidelines such as the videos of the Shrek character using the toilet, it’s remarkable that YouTube has never terminated him.

• Logan Paul posted a video where he shows a corpse in the Aokigahara Forest, which ignited instant backlash. Not only that, but he and his brother Jake have done scamming and fraudulent incidents. And yet YouTube won’t terminate neither one of them. If illegal activity and showing a corpse on camera both violate YouTube’s guidelines, then why won’t YouTube terminate the Paul brothers, hm?

• Sssoyoung has been a subject of controversy for posting videos of herself killing and eating sea animals and she was accused of animal abuse. I remember when TheTekkitRealm posted a video, demanding that YouTube terminates her for animal abuse. However, YouTube is apparently protecting her than taking action against her because a YouTuber who supported TheTekkitRealm got terminated. I get that she’s from another country (she’s from South Korea), but YouTube is American and showing animal abuse on camera violates their guidelines.

So why is YouTube rightfully terminating some creators for guideline violations but treating some creators like it’s their favorite channels, hm?

YouTube auto playing The 2025 Grammys despite me never watching anything like that

I have not and will never watch anything to do with the Grammys I don't even know what they are completely a music award? Anyway all I've watched all day and all I ever watch is gaming videos, Reddit stories, baby Einstein for my baby, And maybe some anime abridged stuff. Now does anybody know why that Right after a binge of baby Einstein and Reddit stories the 2025 Grammys or whatever that was posted 20 hours ago from now was autoplayed next? Also I have YouTube premium so by definition I should not get ads and this feels like a really malicious way to advertise the Grammys. That's not even to mention all of the not an ad YouTube ads that" recommend" tons of content that is not related to me

Youtube ads have hit a new level today

This seems to either be new or something I just noticed; whenever I pause a video on the Roku Youtube app I get an ad that takes up 1/3 of the screen on the right. You have to dismiss it to start the video again. I noticed that and then pressed play and immediately got a 1 minute unskippable ad.

YouTube STILL removing videos from playlists at random?

I swear this has been happening for the past 6 or so years, but every so often I go to listen to an old song and see it either missing from my playlist or recommended to me by YouTube with no evidence that I had previously watched it just a few days prior.

I absolutely know I added it because it's one I've been returning to every week or so for the past two months. It's just baffling and insanely frustrating because I know it's happened with other songs and I won't know what because they'll probably never get recommended to me again.

What's even weirder is sometimes when a video says it doesn't exist in my playlist and I add it, I got to check and it turns out it WAS already there and now exists twice...I don't get this at all, and it's driving me nuts.

Edit: after writing this post I had it happen AGAIN with a separate playlist while adding a new video to it. I give up, I'm gonna store playlists somewhere else because this is beyond ridiculous.

Why does Youtube do this everytime I try to clip something?

Everytime I try to clip something recently (This started a few weeks ago) it just dims the screen and won't let me clip! When I try to touch anything on the clipping menu (Like the Title, Time Stamps, Save, ETC) a screen pops up saying "Discard This Clip?" I've tried pressing "Keep" but it just continues to be black and won't let me edit it or anything. The only thing I can interact with that won't cause that menu to pop up is the video itself.

Before anyone asks, no I do not have Ad Blocker Enabled. It is disabled on Youtube so that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried googling this but I have only found like two other people who have had a problem similar(?) to this and everyone suggested disabling ad blocker but for me it's already disabled...

I (stupidly) liked my YouTube videos on two other of my accounts for a while. I stopped because I realized that it is stupid and fake but am worried that my YouTube will be terminated. Would they terminate me for that?

Where did Richard from MR A BUILDERS go?

The MR A BUILDERS channel recently announced that Richard has split off and is going to make his own YT channel.

Does anyone know what Richard's new channel is?

I'm sad the crew are splitting up but pleased there will be another channel to follow... looking forward to watching both!

Audio only button doesn't work

Have had this bug for weeks now. When picture in picture is on; the headphones button ,which means play audio only, is available but does nothing.

I disable the app and clear cache since I can't uninstall it on Android. And it will work again for an hour before it breaks.

I pay for youtube premium and have not had a lapse in my subscription.

fix for a layout change?? (two thumbnails per row)

A few days ago my Youtube layout changed to feature two thumbnails per row instead of three (see photo). At first I managed to fix it by refreshing a few times, but it doesn't work anymore. Is there any way to fix this? An extension or anything? It's driving me nuts.

New YouTube comments in shorts

YouTube Shorts comments are now horizontal and just cover up the entire screen! It's so weird and unnecessary (like almost every update nowadays). Sometimes I like to scroll the comments and watch the short to see if other people have the same thoughts as me, but now I can just hear the video in the back and it just feels super weird. The comments still have the weird thing at the top that make it look like you should be able to shrink it vertically but it straight up does nothing

Lost Youtuber Name

Okay, I know this is really out of the ordinary but I need the internets help.

There was a youtuber I used to watch a lot and I cannot for the life of me remember his channel name.

He was a black youtuber who did a lot of scary stories and scary pictures as well as some other reaction vids like 'Kids Clever Test Answers'

He always wore a white chevron (?) blanket and had a headband/hat on all the time

If you guys could help me out, that would be amazing!!
