Ages 1 100 Decide Who Wins $250,000 || Mr Beast
Mr. Beast is a popular YouTuber known for his captivating and often philanthropic content. However, it's important to note that directly copying someone else's video description, especially without permission, can potentially infringe upon copyright laws. It's best to create your own unique description inspired by the video content, ensuring it doesn't violate any copyrights or intellectual property rights. If you're unsure about what constitutes fair use or copyright infringement, consulting legal advice or familiarizing yourself with YouTube's copyright policies would be a wise step.

YouTube has become my go-to destination for entertainment, education, and inspiration. The platform's vast library of videos covers every imaginable topic, from music and gaming to cooking and DIY projects. I appreciate the diversity of content creators on YouTube, each offering their unique perspective and expertise. Whether I'm looking for a quick laugh, learning a new skill, or discovering new music, YouTube never fails to deliver. The user-friendly interface, personalized recommendations, and seamless streaming experience make it easy to lose myself in hours of endless entertainment. With YouTube, there's always something new to discover, and I'm grateful for the endless source of inspiration it provides.

It's probably not YouTube's fault. During the pandemic, it was *the* channel to watch. Now, people just aren't making the vids anymore...they, too, have "real" lives to get back to. Sadly, it's now filled with ads that don't appear to be targeted to any specific audience. Being a "woman of a certain age", YouTube is trying to sell me hot girls, "cheap" (!) vacation packages, vehicles, processed meat, and news, news, news. Being addicted to it, I confess I check daily to see if there's One New Thing I'm interested in viewing, but I usually go away disappointed.

There are a few good videos on YouTube, but a random search revealed that 90% or more, in my opinion, are probably fakery designed to baffle, terrify, or simply brainwash us. The "service" is the single most dangerous source of stupidity available to the gullible, but again, this is just my opinion based on observation and education. If you believe everything you see, even if you believe it's fake, you're probably still being tested by some algorithm somewhere to see just how much malarkey you'll swallow before barfing. As a people, we are already ensnared by the machine. There's no going back. Never thought I'd be grateful to be getting old...I won't be alive to see the end of rational thought, but I feel sad for the children and grandchildren of today, who seem disinclined to question anything transmitted to them via their numerous devices.

YouTube has gone right down the toilet ever since they introduced the 'anti-adblocking' system on their servers. Now that Google run YT they seem to have an issue regarding those who block adverts for revenue. The most annoying thing about it, is that these intusive ads are interuppting the video that you are watching. It is ok to have ads - but only if they put them at the start and end of a video. Putting ads in between videos is quite abrupt and ill mannered. It seems that the man at the top has no manners whatsoever and doesn't seem to listen to reason. It takes good manners to be the CEO of a large company. This Neal Mohan has none whatsoever and SHOULDN'T have any rights to be where he is!

YouTube is my go-to platform for video content. Whether I'm looking for educational tutorials, entertaining vlogs, or music videos, YouTube has it all. The user-friendly interface and personalized recommendations make it easy to discover new content. I also appreciate the diverse community of creators and the ability to interact through comments and likes

Youtube has become garbage
March 19, 2024
Updated review

Too many advertisements in front of the videos in recent weeks. Additionally, I'm tired of this platform blurring out sections of a video like a war documentary. Its history. STOP BLURRING IT OUT. I wish creators would start switching to Rumble. They have 1080p videos now and no blurring, very little censorship. Youtube has become trash.

They have interesting content but the platform does stupid things. For example it will start playing a movie in 720p yet the movie offers a resolution in 1080p. Why dont these idiots just play the movie in the highest resolution? It could at least communicate with the computer or phone & see if 1080p is possible. Nearly all devices today support 1080p.

Only videos they have are the same repeats
March 11, 2024
Updated review

In the past year, youtube.com has gone totally downhill. I used to be able to watch different videos, now all they have are the same repeat stories over and over. So now, they don't put up any new videos. It's all become podcasts and storytelling with no video. They only videos that get updated are the news. The titles show they can't even spell besides and use fake photos that have nothing to do with what I click on in the first place. They story tellers don't even speak the english language either. Now, I can't find anything I haven't already seen. Need another site.

Half of these reviews are probably employees! Youtube has lost half of it's fan base. Recommended videos are one to six years old and just keep including videos overplayed and already seen, "New To You" category is no different. Had to delete almost half of my subscriptions due to no updates for months, even going to my subscriptions, show the same old overplayed videos as the rest. Whatever they have done in the past six months has ruined the site.

YouTube should warn subscribers that YouTubers have the right to dox us. They should also warn us that something as simple as a laughing emoji can get you doxed. YouTube should also warn subscribers that a YouTuber can follow us from channel to channel & mock our comments. They should also warn subscribers to hide our identity & government names because some YouTubers Google subscribers names & tamper with their real lives. They should also warn ppl that if you share a YouTubers video to your Facebook, they can stalk & follow your life. Allota YouTubers have career's in IT & are able to retrieve ppls information. I understand being a YouTuber can be dangerous. However being a subscriber is also dangerous because some YouTubers use YouTube as a means to stalk & dox unsuspecting subscribers. There is a sector on YouTube called the Beef Sector & if you're not careful, they'll invade your private life & you'll never be able to prove it. They work in groups & they stick together, harassing ppl & posting ppls public records, calling ppls jobs, families, CPS, & etc and YouTube allows it.

DIsappointed, sorry
March 6, 2024

I am... disappointed a bit, because once when i wanted to run my own blog in YT, they imposed ones of limitations on published content. That was the most disappointing thing, they either don't allow my video to get into recommendations section, or they just turn off monetization.
Overall, this platform is good for getting fame, look at guys like Mr.Beast or others. Nevertheless, there are many disadvantage which don't allow me to reveal my potential as a blogger. Perhaps, I will get along with them but not in the nearest future. So far I wrapped up my activity as a blogger, as number of subscribers and watches fell twice.

Throttled
March 1, 2024

They put as many ads as possible and at the worst times during the video and when I can't take it anymore and decide to use an AdBlock (like their own employees have been caught using) they throttle the loading time of the video to the point the video is unwatchable.

I witness YouTube abusing content generators by manipulating their algorithms so viewers don't ever see their videos without searching for it, and even then YouTube will often put their video further down the search results- making it harder to view. Youtube very often takes content generators' advertising revenue- stealing it for themselves. Often YouTube pretends they (often popular comedians) said or did something extremely egregious (not true by any stretch of the imagination) to deserve their ad revenue being confiscated. Lines do exist between healthy criticism of an institution or culture (which are instrumental to a healthy society) and racism or other destructive behaviors. I observe YouTube knowing that difference, but choosing to remove that differentiation to wield a oppressive amount of control over both content providers and viewers and the viewers' ability to find videos and comment on them.

Honestly, YouTube used to be the best thing ever, with me being able to spend hours upon hours watching videos about everything and everything. Now, the website has become an ad cannon that is aimed right at your skull. You cant navigate ANYWHERE, or do a single thing, without taking a shotgun blast of unwanted advertisements directly to the dome. Google destroyed YouTube and turned it almost unusable... it reminds me of a porn site with how many BS popups and ads are jammed down your throat every time you have the misfortune of using it. Garbage work Google, absolutely steaming hot garbage.
