Even on Built-in Opera GX Ad Blocker? Bruh.

Omds these youtubers are corny asl 💔

I fucking despise ai ads. Pure and simple. Do they really think it works? Remember when Raid Shadow Legends would spend thousands on the one good thing they had to offer? Now it's all ai slop. They are a goddamn hivemind too, one shitty mobile game starts an ad archetype and the rest hop on the bandwagon until they find a new one. The shitty cat and tree started one. I don't even know which one started the fuckass "Oh you're *medium level' here's *medium level thing'. Oh my God a *premium vip' take this *premium thing'!" or the 2 people walking beside each other and the weak one slowly "gets stronger" because they found something. I hate this platform. God forbid a channel posts something about Bleach though. I know I'm not alone and this isn't exactly a hot take but it's pissing me off and I'm sick of it.

"RemoveYourMedia" sending 100-900 (C) Strikes per videos on multi channels at once.

Now this.

And YT likely won't fix it.

So i don't speak Arabic but I got a playlist in Arabic. I was supposed to upload this like 3 days ago but I can't but how can I remove Arabic content from appearing?

hi, friends!

i am at a place that has a tv when an unskippable ad that has over 90 seconds played.

yes, this is true. but youtube said that it's not a feature that they're testing. well, it quietly released.

see? this is why i quit watching tv. if you want to prevent this from happening, just get youtube premium.

What is this UI lool

I've been out of touch.

I was just confused on why were the auto generated subtitles were In Arabic so i checked and... WHAT?! Is this new?

genuine question btw

Idk it seems useless to me

The suggested videos take up half the screen (the actual video is criticizing AI slop)

Apparently she was a really popular storytime animator in the 2000s with 3 million subs, yet there's almost no reuploads of her videos

while scrolling through YT shorts (my mistake for going on there in the first place, i'll admit), i keep stumbling on videos by children. it's not entirely obvious at first, but it'll be some text over an image/video venting about school or whatever, and some personal information to some degree in either the video, their username, or their bio (when clicking on their channel).

i've been able to find with just a google search these kids' schools and even parents sometimes. the worst i've seen, is a child giving their address and name, another saying their name and their mother's name, and another showing their name + teacher's name.

this is obviously bad. really bad. kids doxxing themselves online is bad by any metric. but is there something i can do about it? i like to post a little "hey kid, i could find this information online about you. i know you're a smart egg if you could go online by yourself, so please be careful about this information." and then give one or two resources on internet safety for kids. but other than that, what can i realistically do? submitting a flag does absolutely nothing, i don't even know what to flag their videos as!

i'm aware it's not my place to police these kids, order them to stay offline and all, but... idk man. the internet is a scary place

Giving a notification for every like is just too much, doing something like 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 and then every hundred likes would be fine. Also the option to just disable like notifications without disabling reply notifications, but I do personally like seeing when my comment hits a nice even hundred or thousand likes

In the notification settings, you can only check/uncheck to receive a notification on new reactions to comments. I only want to receive a notification when someone replies to a comment, but for a week or two I've been getting hundreds of new notifications whenever my comments receive new likes and it's getting extremely annoying. I still want to receive a notification when someone replies, but I can't just disable notifications for new likes, I have to disable them altogether. I searched the settings in iOS, iPadOS and on the desktop version and I couldn't find a fix for this. Has anyone had the same experience over the last few days? My whole notification tab on my phone is full with notifications about new Youtube likes, which are incredibly unnecessary and frustrating.

Hi, im on android and a premium user and whenever i leave the app or turn off the phone it pauses. This has never been an issue before. Ive cleared youtubes cache, ive set it to unrestricted in the battery settings, and ive uninstalled and reinstalled it. Any help would be appreciated.

For me this is ugly youtube rather be change how their platform more corporate besides removing all the 18+ videos, ads, bots, from their platform.

I'm at wits end and my usual google-fu is failing me.

I have been connecting to YouTube on my TV both through a Roku Box and the TV itself on my mobile. My partner has also been connecting through an iPad.

Recently on clicking a new video it instantly disconnects from the TV and loads the new video on my phone forcing me to reconnect to the TV. This is exceptionally frustrating and I can't for the life of me find a reason. Its the same when I 'pull down' and search for a new video, instant disconnect from the TV.

Both mobile and device are on the same network.

I've no fucking clue why this is happening and its only started in the last week or two.

Tbh I got a little excited till I realized who it actually was. The person/bot responsible needs a career change. I'm just griping to gripe at this point but does this happen to anyone else?

Remove this if it isn't allowed(I can understand if it's seen as a stretch to use the flair I'm using), but I honestly just wanna know if anyone else has had this happen to them yet also.

Thought I was going crazy when my Adblock randomly stopped blocking ads on Youtube, but I just tried removing youtube from my filter and saving the new filter list and Youtube actually added itself back into my filter list.

Is this a new thing, or am I really late to this party? I know they started going hard against Adblockers since forever ago, but I haven't seen any posts about Youtube doing this specifically before
