Let me put it like this:
- You have companies and individuals falsely claiming copyrights on videos for money and power.
- Several bigger YouTube channels are falsely reporting their opponents and competitors, getting them terminated to stay in power and maintain influence.
- Channels like TeamFourStar get terminated, but then reinstated due to their massive fanbase and outrage. It's great that they're back, but what about the other countless channels that were never revived?
- YouTube plays the favoritism game every day. If YouTube feels you are not making them enough money or that your content isn't good enough, they'll do their best to either stop promoting you or get rid of you at anytime. Remember, you are an at-will employee and replaceable. That's how the game works.
- You can put so much effort into a video and get only 500 views a year. A screaming profane let's player who yells countless expletives into a mic while playing video games can get at least 1 million views a day.
- Your video can taken down because of inappropriate content or copyrighted material. Another person's video can have the same exact content and material as yours did and theirs still stays up. Why?
- There's plenty of spam, scam, illegal, and deceptive content on YouTube. Why delete a typical video over others that actually violate YouTube policy?
- YouTube claims to understand what fair use is, but their actions prove otherwise because they enslaved themselves to WMG, UMG, and other corporate meatheads.
- Let's say an artist named HJ owns rights to a song and someone else uploads it on their channel. Instead of HJ claiming copyrights to the video, f**king IFPI pretends to own it & YouTube takes down your video.
- Someone or some company could actually own the song a video and want it removed or monetized by them, but YouTube sometimes tells them, "Nope, sorry, we are siding with Pewdiepie because he's Pewdiepie and you are not important."
- You have users who click-bomb or falsely flag your video due to their hateful, disliking, idiotic, jealous, mob-mentality, and/or trolling ways. If you don't like a video, just thumb it down idiots!
- YouTube makes it very difficult
to promote your channel. Even if you search for videos and channels on
YouTube, the results won't always be successful.
- Remember when it was easy to find the most recent videos, the most subscribed channel, the most viewed videos, the lowest-rated videos, and any of the small channels on YouTube? When you could actually attach your video or video response to a popular video, receive honors and awards for your videos, PM people, customize your channel page, and have some sort of YouTube community despite any *sshole or troll who got in our way? Well that's long gone now. I like that Google helped numerous people make money with YouTube, but money concept of it all is slowly ruining what once was. Why can't we have the best user interface and navigation, the best copyright claim system, the best partnership program, the best customization and layouts, and the best way to promote and broadcast ourselves? Google can do everything else, but not this. Why? Many of us are doing our part to complain and provide you feedback and, hell, even some solutions. Why can't you do yours?
- Any time you go onto YouTube anymore, you're bombarded with ads, The Ellen Show, any popular channel, big Let's Players, popular tiresome reaction and prank videos, stupid current memes, Vine compilations, Donald Trump, VEVO, Adele, trailers, celebrities and public figures, new episode clips from Late Night shows, attention whores, viral videos of s**t like cats and homeless people, top trending stupidity, tabloid horses**t, and the same content over and over again. Of course there's AdBlock to help with the ads. However, not everyone wants to watch this stuff all of the time. They say YouTube has billions of videos, but I keep seeing the same 1% of that amount being advertised. Again, why?
- Most
YouTubers are idiots and worship big channels and allow them to get away
with almost anything. If you are a small YouTube content creator, you
are subject to more hate and dislike since you are a nobody.
- Example 1: TMZ, Phillip DeFranco, and some popular, beautiful b**ch can post both misleading titles and thumbnails. Either nobody bats an eye, no one cares, or people notice and excuse them because hey, they are just so awesome and that cute girl vlogger has a nice pair of DD cups....
- Example 2: If you're not pretty or interesting enough, try doing the exact same thing as a small YouTube creator, and then you'll often have angry users, hateful users, massive dislikes, flagged video(s), and maybe a terminated channel.
- Example 3: YouTube won't often touch big channels because hey, they're popular, interesting, and making us money!
- Many of the popular channels steal or take other people's content, monetize it, and they often get away with it because YouTube heavily benefits from all the ad revenue.
- YouTubers seem angrier and more hateful than yesteryear. Yes, there were always moronic *sswipes, but it's so common to see people being dehumanized, personally insulted, and told to KYS (kill yourself) anymore. Don't be fooled, this generation is not as opinion-minded, tolerant, and less bigoted as you would like to think. People are getting hostile flame over expressing simple opinions or comments. It's like people are becoming extremely short-fused now. You either have people that are too sensitive, or people too insensitive to the point where they are desensitized to almost everything.
- If YouTube thinks you violated their Copyright or Community Guidelines, you get a strike per violation. Three strikes = permaban. DMCA is responsible for YouTube's awful copyright system.
- My problems are:
- Instead of simply YouTube taking down a video, they take it down and punish you for it.
- There are countless cases where videos are falsely and innocently taken down due to the error or malicious intent on the so-called claimant's end.
- If you try to appeal, request a retraction, or submit a counter-notification, there is a high chance that you will fail and YouTube will blindly side with the claimant and say, "Tough s**t."
- They will listen to a larger, more established company and corporation over you unless you are a big YouTuber in most cases.
- Google doesn't want to start a human YouTube Support Team and Customer Service to properly review claims and help YouTube creators because they are underneath DMCA's nutsack and think none of them can benefit financially from it. These large corporations lobbied for DMCA and they'll lobby for something even bigger! Any politician against this will either be sent to hiding or bought out.
- This is why monopolies and reliance on a sole source for something aren't good. The company who has the monopoly believes they can do anything they want or not have to perform at their best. If the company isn't doing their best, then it's possible that many who rely on the company's prosperity may not receive the best either. The too big to fail mentality will have you end up like AOL and MySpace.
Sorry, I had to vent because I'm very passionate about this first world problem.
