    @montecoman @YouTube When MSDNC or CNN start doing interviews and reports of this type I'll post them. They do not as they are now tied to the apron strings of the CIA and FBI. Tucker's overall point of view is nearly opposite of mine but he does report on some issues that are in line with the left

  • lizdemchuk Elizabeth Demchuk (@lizdemchuk) reported

    @SunWeatherMan @YouTube I realize there’s no way to know exactly how far the water will go, but I’m thinking a video will help a lot of people better visualize the process.

  • DeeterPlays DEETERPLAYS (@DeeterPlays) reported

    @FGTeeV @YouTube With the amount of money you have made for them, they should have a full time person dedicated to taking care of any issues you guys have.

  • lghirshfield Livvie Hirshfield (@lghirshfield) reported

  • iBlabber69 iBlabber 🇪🇺 (@iBlabber69) reported

    @Saviorforcod @YouTube What's your point? You are on Twitter. Clearly you don't have problem with +18 content.

  • Retronyte Retronyte (@Retronyte) reported

    @Alpha_Remaster @YouTube Not trying to get on nerves I wanna help with the Game

  • NevesPhilip Philip Neves (@NevesPhilip) reported

    @ChakaalStarr @Harmony47383691 @YouTube The trouble you seem to be having here is you seem to be more concerned about the safety of the criminal than you are about the person who is getting robbed. While in the process of committing a crime the criminal doesn't have any rights.

  • kitsudote Kitsudōte ❍ (@kitsudote) reported

    @YouTube serious question: If I constantly manually click back on videos from a certain channel, how do you not get that I'm binging this rn and will still autoplay videos from completely different channels. Why do you always "fix" things? This worked before.

  • daniellebroatch Danielle 🍒 (@daniellebroatch) reported

    My @youtube comments aren't showing up on people's videos. Is they're an issue? I've posted the same comment 4 times on a video and it says posted but now it's gone.

  • NevesPhilip Philip Neves (@NevesPhilip) reported

    @ChakaalStarr @Harmony47383691 @YouTube It doesn't matter. If they've broken into your house they are in the middle of committing a crime and they've forfeited their rights while in the process of that crime. There was a case to that effect in Alberta a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it for you.

  • tigersdani Dani (@tigersdani) reported

    @YouTube I’m still having issues watching YouTube videos on my iPhone 14. It’s been deleted/reinstalled many times. My phone is up to date. I’ve restarted my phone. I’ve cleared the cache. My internet is not the issue. This started happening just a couple of weeks ago.

  • Danielbrandebe1 Daniel brandeberry Brandeberry (@Danielbrandebe1) reported

    @NumismaticsTiny @YouTube hey ive got a 1982 d penny that weighs 3.1 grams and has small numbers and letters and i have some bi centenial quarters and one has at least 4 errors

  • ChakaalStarr Chakaal Starr (@ChakaalStarr) reported

    @NevesPhilip @Harmony47383691 @YouTube I guess if it is really old school, but that doesn't help the value, you might as well just tell the police you thought they were going to hit you with their iphone, so you felt you needed to murder them.

  • flora153800 flora (@flora153800) reported

    @404BoyIsLucky @YouTube Why haven't you reach out to this professional dude @Hisensekey to help recover back your channel... because he just recover mine recently

  • TMillerGolf TM (@TMillerGolf) reported

    @LockedOnCanes @YouTube Can’t get it to play or download. Using Apple Podcasts, maybe that’s the issue?

  • gofyrslfski Ernestine Gofyrslfski (@gofyrslfski) reported

    Watched This Week on @YouTube. For several weeks now I watched (when I don't mute it) Chris Christie monopolize the panel's conversation. He interrupts and talks over other panel members esp Ms Brazille. Why is this jerk still allowed on air? Couldn't they afford quality?

  • lizdemchuk Elizabeth Demchuk (@lizdemchuk) reported

    @SunWeatherMan @YouTube Request. Watched the disaster playlist, how the crust unlocks, sorry if I missed video with it, but can you make a new video showing earth tilt, direction of oceans/waters rushing, slosh back over the whole earth. I need a better visualization. I think it will help a lot. Please

  • marco97pa lisa's servant - saw BLACKPINK (@marco97pa) reported

    @jisoosignal I started gaining views on my @YouTube channel thanks to a lot of video I shot during the concert at Paris. I am receiving a LOT of hate comments and I am trying to block and hide the worst ones. I think that popularity takes into account this kind of ****
