web What irrates you about YouTube?

The copy-right bugs and well etc etc. forced a lot of fan-made stuff to be taken down!   Also how does the rate stuff for kids and "adults"  when it comes to anything animation at all.

Copyright. I can't stand them. I mean, the video is not being posted because of background music or something like that.

YouTube's new watch bar tint is/was annoying. I thought my screen was broken. 😐

YouTube really has gone from bad to worse, and it's getting considerably worse over time ever since Susan took over (before her death). Let's say removing the dislike counter, for starters. Like, folks have the right to not like videos that are bad, if not outright morbid. Especially the cringe videos like with MrBeast (who unfortunately is popular due to younger viewers being too oblivious about his true nature) for example. Speaking of MrBeast, YouTube likes to pick favorites, namely with creators that LOVE to be massive public nuisances for the sake of views, regardless of consequences that can and will happen IRL. But that's not all, YouTube then started to censor swear words because they wanted to make the site more "kid-friendly" when in reality, they're becoming increasingly totalitarian because they can and they will.

Even moreso, they started to deliberately shove in YouTube Kids, on videos that are NOT meant for kids, mind you. Its just their way of silencing folks from posting comments, in the most asinine way there is because of their unhinged mentality in trying to slap every video as "kid-friendly". Yeah, right. If any, it's just another form of increased censorship.

But then things get worse from here when they started to force ads on each and every video to the point where they can't be skipped whatsoever. They even go through great lengths in blocking AdBlockers altogether and lock videos through the worst paywall of all: YouTube Premium. Especially through monthly fees just to watch videos without ads. It's clear enough that they care more about profts than their own community due to their obvious lack of care. And the bots that wreak havoc on comment sections? Yeah, that's definitely not YouTube's problem. The platform's basically destroying itself, and I'm surprised that YouTube and Google hasn't been hit with a massive class-action lawsuit to this already-failing platform.

That's a surprising explanation of YouTube's bad side from a gaming guy.

The constant ads interrupting my experience. Every time one shows up, I can't help but be annoyed by it.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Many things! One of them being their greed-driven war against ad-blockers, it's become an obsession at this point. 

[RDDash 19,172]

Youtube running an ad about using an adblock that "pays you" to see ads after Youtube agressivelly demanding that people can't use adblock. Are you kidding me?  

[Xada 367]

Youtube still waging war on addblockers. Not even Brave's adblocking works correctly anymore.

Youtube is taking data from users, in order to autogenerate response comments from Youtubers. There was no opt-in process. I highly doubt this was a heavily demanded feature by the users.

Having to scroll through a video to find where the "in person ad" ends.
