    @YouTube Now the comments I left earlier are also gone! Where did the comments section go - please fix this! Thx!

  • pizzatimegaming Pizza Time! Gaming (@pizzatimegaming) reported

    @YouTubeCreators What about @YouTube deleting channels when trolls mass report them? How does that help the the trolls and further bully the creator? How do you think this makes the creator feel? You talk a big game in protecting creators from hate but you delete channels reported by bullies.

  • davidpjaeger DavidPeterJaeger (@davidpjaeger) reported

    @CBSSportsCBB What’s the deal with your feed to @ATT TV and @YouTube TV. There have been interruptions in the service all tournament long. Terrible.

  • judyhamomd @JudyHamond🍁 (@judyhamomd) reported

    @IHadWootCannow @YouTube Well, you had the vaccine and that will help with lowering the symptoms. Oh please carry on. I'll pray so hard for your kids, no one will know how hard.

  • psychicoutlaw psychic outlaw (@psychicoutlaw) reported

    @YouTube Where did the comments go? I can watch videos and have looked at several, I was able to leave comments this morning but not now. Please fix!

  • EDopameanie ElDopameanie (@EDopameanie) reported

    @mercoglianos @YouTube -what’s the non-Ever Given industry insider gossip? Like if there was a maritime newspaper, what would’ve been the front page news BEFORE this happened? -what do maritime type people think is the coolest part about their jobs? What about the worst part?

  • georgeearljoye georgeearl (@georgeearljoye) reported

    @glennkirschner2 @dirtyjersey701 @YouTube Can we please keep in mind that the Chauvin trial is the prosecution of OFFICER Derek Chauvin because that’s what he was when he perpetrated this awful crime, not former and not ex. He was a cop who betrayed the trust of his constituency as well as the US people.

    @CryptoAyden @YouTube Me lost $6000, help me what solution

  • gdann27 gdann27 (@gdann27) reported

    @5ReasonsSports @YouTube Great work although IMO we are trying to put Vic as the main guy and we don’t need to be, I see Vic as the same as I saw Bosh, our glue guy. Bam and Jimmy can score 20-25ppg. We only need Vic to do all the other things. Think about it, Bosh never made over 22ppg average in miami

    @16YearsOfBiden @YouTube Why do U keep making BS up! I never collected any government assistance in life! I did get some help from a church one time with rent when I was young, $350 but within 2 months I donated $550 back so they could help others in a time of need

  • Truth67001527 Truth (@Truth67001527) reported

    @TheKnicksWall @iHateShaun @YouTube Is there any doubt in anyone's mind now after seeing the knicks blow 10 late quarter games that even though Tibs is a very good defensive coach he is completely inept at the end of games offensively. He has blown 10 games with terrible terrible play calling

  • alienghic alienghic@octodon.social (@alienghic) reported

    @mercoglianos @YouTube Overall how are crews treated by management companies? What ever happened to the crew of the COVID cruise ships? How do ships end up under a particular countries flag? How does civilian merchant soft power work? China does seem to use its fishing vessels to pressure others.

    @JohnSmi31411600 @YouTube So what did your jobless bum of a mother do for work, you perverted english teacher

  • SirZparity ZparityTheMajestic (@SirZparity) reported

    @YouTube @TeamYouTube It would be nice if you did something about your system automatically removing people's comments even when they say nothing bad at all. Even creators made videos about them having that problem too. Some people are forced to make alt-accounts and misspell words to avoid it.

  • apexnerd Shane Roth (@apexnerd) reported

    @drdrew @YouTube You're a terrible person.

  • VijaySThakare vijay thakre (@VijaySThakare) reported

    @peeda96 @YouTube In trading context is the most important, yesterday’s market was bearish and if you still want to find bullish momentum then it won’t work.

  • ericdbn Eric D (@ericdbn) reported

    @Look_its_Rhonda @slowdiveband @YouTube I was there! It was my first time seeing Slowdive live since 1994 and I could barely contain my excitement... my friends say I absolutely did a terrible job of containing my excitement. I lost my mind 🤯

    @JohnSmi31411600 @YouTube You got free food from your mommy. Breakfast lunches and dinner You needed help to live You cant even go outside without help. You dont wash your own clothes

  • RavenKilna Raven-K (@RavenKilna) reported

    @YouTube so there are no comments showing on vids when I log onto YT, I see some others having the same issue, super weird!

  • Leeloo5lmnt0516 Leeloo5lmnt (@Leeloo5lmnt0516) reported

    @wins_morality @YouTube So let me guess Society is suppose to cow-tow to threats and strong arm tactics... like ISIS... if we start now - this will only get worst and more frequent. Do the right thing. If D Chauvin is not guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt as w OJ Simpson's trial the jury must acquit.

    @jordanbpeterson @YouTube Justin Bieber spreaded the Canadian sorry culture, it mutated through the states and emerged as cancel culture. Canadian feel so sorry about that, like Canadians always do anyway, that they are actively trying to fix this. Like Alpha Flight
