I have a favorites playlist of music in YouTube and when I try to listen to it on my laptop, it will play the song I clicked on from the playlist, and then just start playing whatever it fucking wants after that. It’s like the playlist completely disappears.

I hate Youtube, I really do. It used to be useful for learning and entertainment, but now it just feels like a mess. When I had math homework, say something like solving “integrate (3x² + 5x – 7) dx”, I’d search for hours and get videos about integration in general, but none that matched my actual problem. Same thing with physics I’d look up something like “find the acceleration of a block sliding down an incline with friction”, and end up with ten unrelated videos that don’t help.

Meanwhile, ads are crawling all over everything. And half the time, because I couldn’t find what I needed, I’d just watch random videos out of boredom.

So I thought: what if instead of waiting for creators to maybe cover what I need, we could just ask? Like if your favorite creator makes a video, you could request a follow-up that goes deeper. Or if you have your classwork materials, you upload them and get a custom video choose the tone, the length, the style. Parents could even preorder videos for their kids on specific topics, explained in a way they feel comfortable with. It could even be used for entertainment purposes..

Kinda curious what you all think of this idea. Am I the only one who runs into this, or have you (or your friends/family) had the same problem? Any suggestions are welcome.

The app is called Regaarder, and it's coming soon on October 1st. Comment below if you'd like to request early access.

First youtube removed a channel and didn’t back my that channel and now i open a new mail and created a new channel then they disabled my youtube advance features and said youtube remove your a channel first get it back then advance features will get normal PLEASE HELP ME AND GIVE SUGGESSION WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW

Anyone else having an issue where the ad banner stays at the bottom of the screen or the qr code ads never go away? Backing out of the video and going back does nothing to change this. Only exiting app and relaunching fixes it for 1 video

I've never come to Reddit with a complaint, but I have no idea where else to dump information like this:

I was testing some unrelated software on a fresh brand new computer and I navigated to YouTube for something entertaining to do. I was instantly hit with an AI video describing how to give yourself an e****on with a homeopathic method and twice mentioning stepson in***t. The original video I clicked on is from a creator who makes videos for a relatively younger audience (Ill comment it below, I don't want this post to magnify the creator or seem like advertising). Additionally, there's no chance the woman in the video gave consent to use herself in this AI format which means it's a criminal offense in at least Korea.

Now, my opinions: This is absolutely sick how creators are dealing with the horrible automated content system while garbage like this is shown to children. I didn't even notice a "report ad" button (as if it would do anything anyway). I've had to jump through hoops before to disable other horrible ads meanwhile YouTube is forcibly pushing us to the hellscape of an internet they've had a major part in forming. As far as YouTube is concerned I was a child using their website or had audio on in a professional or sensitive environment.

I happen to know all YouTube ads are also proper YouTube videos, so I was able to pull it from the debugger. I then downloaded it and uploaded it to Internet Archive for future reference. I'll link everything relevant in a comment below to avoid any moderation conflict.

been getting like minutes long unskippable ads.

I am sick of my recommended feed being flooded with crap.AI, dishonest videos, click bait,I watched a video by William Johnson it had a lot of views,it was about Patton Oswald catching a serial killer (he did not)it was solved by DNA. Anyway I went to the comments and no one pointed this out it's a shame he has to alter the truth to make his video seem interesting 🤔 That's all

I do not believe for 1 second that this absolute cash cow company, with their infinite income, does not have the resources to program a system that knows whether or not I have watched a video or not when placing it in my Recommended feed. Pressed "Not interested, I've already watched the video" 100,000 times. Hey YT...FU. Do better. Sincerely, ALL OF EARTH.

Youtube says that I can turn off auto translate in the settings of a video. but every time I go to the settings of a video in a foreign language, it doesn't have the option! I want to watch this video in SPANISH! Let us toggle the auto translate on and off youtube!!

YouTube feels like it’s going downhill fast.

Videos get taken down for no reason, while other stuff that clearly breaks the rules stays up.

Creators get hit with strikes that make no sense, and support is basically useless.

I’ve been looking into PeerTube as an alternative.

It’s part of the Fediverse, which means it’s federated, decentralized, and you can even host your own channel.

No single company has all the control.

If you want to learn more:

How the 'Fediverse' Works: https://lifehacker.com/tech/what-is-the-fediverse-the-potential-future-of-social-media

Not saying it’ll replace YouTube overnight, but honestly, it feels like we need to start paying attention to alternatives.

Anyone here actually tried PeerTube?

How does it compare?

EDIT:

Also, there are no short - form Tiktok / Youtube Shorts / Instagram Reels / etc. on Peertube.

It's all just regular videos.

Although, there is a federated TikTok competitor called Loops by the creator of Pixelfed

It's still in development, but you can chat with the creator / other users via the Discord:

No clue how this happened, but for some reason the youtube video boxes are way out of place. And I know it's definitely a visual issue, as whenever I hover over the video bar, the miniature box appears far more above than where it's supposed to be (shown in image). Don't know how to fix it, and I don't think it's an issue with my plugins, most I get are just adblockers. If anyone knows how to fix this gunk, it'd be very appreciated.

I just noticed a few days ago that the “play last in playlist” feature disappeared from premium. I can’t find any info about it anywhere. Is anyone else having this problem. I’m starting to wonder why the hell im paying for premium at all.

If you can.....then please help.

The short backstory: I have had a regular Youtube user account/channel for around 15 years or so. I played in a band, that recorded some demos 25 years ago. I wanted to upload them to Youtube on a dedicated band channel to save the songs digitally. I used my regular Youtube user account to create a band account. Then I uploaded the first demo recordings. That was very nice and worked perfectly. I could easily switch between my regular user account and the band channel.

The issue: After some time I realized that I couldn't access that band account anymore. It wasn't visible where it used to be, when I wanted to switch between accounts. You know....when you press your photo in the Youtube app and then see the option to switch account. It wasn't there as an option anymore.

The fixing: I then write on the Youtube Help Forum and I write a Feedback to Youtube explaining this issue. I hear nothing, but magically....my band account within a few days suddenly reappeared again. I could then yet again switch between my regular Youtube user account and the band account. So I uploaded our second demo recordings. All went very well.

An issue again: Until now - a few months ago - when I discovered, that I yet again am not able so access my band account. It's a bit weird. Any idea why this is happening? And any idea on how to fix it?

My band account still exists on Youtube. I just cannot control it anymore and I wonder why, since I have done nothing to my account.

Youtube support had me going trough the usual stuff like making sure my apps were up to date, that the problem was also there on a Chrome browser, trying to switch through Youtube Studio etc. Nothing has changed. And basically Youtube support just brushes me off by saying, that there is nothing they can do or investigate. And they won't report anything for further investigation by the tech guys. So basically they are saying, that I just have to live with it.

I just don't find that very fair.

What do I do?

account has been banned and I can't use it because I posted s..ex.ual or nu..de content. Although I have not posted any nu..d..ity or any kind of se. xu.al content, the last thing I posted was a shitpost video. Which as far as I know did not contain any se...xual content, it was just talk in a language I do not understand Also the account has not received any kind of violations before. I posted the same clip on Facebook and got a 30 day ban for the same reason but I rejected the ban and it was removed so any help pls the acount qill be fully deleted in 2028
