    @YouTube Your ad restriction checks are taking a ridiculous amount of time lately. To help out us content creators, I suggest a new publication mode: release upon finish of ad suitability check. That way we don't have to keep looking at the status to decide when to publish. TY!

  • GeekKingCloud Ian Howarth (@GeekKingCloud) reported

    Very cool you can edit @YouTube videos directly in the Studio - trim them and even add blur! Too bad it hasn't worked for years and YouTube haven't even responded to anyone's complaints. Just remove the 'Editor' option if you won't fix it 🤔

  • FluffGaytor Issi Space Gaytor 🌌 (@FluffGaytor) reported

    Hey @Google @YouTube . Are your servers drunk? I just spent 15 minutes waiting for my search results to load for a menu from Olive Garden...as Embarrassing as that is, I'm sure its not @Verizon . I pay way too much for them to drop the ball. What's going on with tech today?

    @MonicaY921 Trying to watch the second part of a video and now we can't because it is age restricted. I am set for no age restrictions, birthday in the system. Just a common problem I see with @YouTube

  • itsjunming Jm (@itsjunming) reported

    @CraigEWhyte @YouTube No mate I'm heartbroken. Wish we had a passenger to pass the ball side to side. Wish it was our fans Calling for him to be dropped for years. Wish we had the worst Scotland captain for 40 years. Gutted so I am.

    @MoonChi78937979 @YouTube Except this isn't misinformation. It's a very real threat to our internet freedoms, which is why so many people on the left and right are pushing back against this terrible legislation. There's better ways of addressing bullying and online harassment.

    @YouTube August the duck’s video on Karens, oh wait. @YouTube please start looking at which videos are claimed/ Striked and see if it’s a bullshit claim. Fix your website.

    @YouTube please fix the issue with the Roku app. It won't let me access my playlists,history etc. I'm signed in via my google account. I'm not the only one having issues. Please fix.

  • Garvit_ddy STRANGER (@Garvit_ddy) reported

    @AmritKumar001 @utsavtechie @YouTube Join poco launcher testing group, you'll know. Except poco x3 pro , all devices release below A11. So, literally all poco users (k20 & 20 pro included) are crying. Poco x3(beta), X2 got the gesture bar with a lot issues. Even A11 users asking because of miui launcher animations.

    @SusanWojcicki @TeamYouTube @YouTube can you give us the option to publicly show the exact number of subscribers please instead of nearest 10k or whatever. It’ll help bigger channels see if they are losing or gaining subscribers to hammer on what’s working ya know?
