#fuck youtube

"the problem isn't that there's ads, its the length of them-" actually the problem is that there's ads at all. fuck being constantly manipulated into buying things. fuck capitalism and consumerism.
youtube is owned by one of the richest companies in the world, they don't need to have ads to stay afloat.

Why the FUCK is this shit being pushed in my recommendation feed. I looked into this and it's about as racist as you would expect (basically an entire doc devoted to defending Zimmerman and villainizing Trayvon).
Maybe Youtube should sort out their radicalization pipeline algorithm instead of spending God knows how much money on slowing down videos for Firefox users and engaging in a war with adblockers.

Honestly, the Community Notes on Twitter were such a good idea. Tumblr should really implement something similar considering the reading comprehension and doom scrolling issues on this site.
Oh, and btw, apparently, no, YouTube is not frying your CPU for having an adblocker installed. Basically every article reporting on it has updated showing that AdBlock and AdBlock Plus were the issues.
They pushed a bad update that caused excessive CPU usage. Other ad blockers like uBlock Origin were not affected. So, like, once again, a non-uBlock ad blocker was the source of the issue, not YouTube strengthening its anti-ad block measures. Who's surprised? Not me.

i think that for as long as youtube originals and short films and all that still exist, we have to keep continuing on with this trend of matpat playing the most deranged unhinged insane roles. i think he's very good at it and should keep playing that role for forever actually and its the one truly enjoyable part of youtube originals
#just re-watched fnaf the musical. i feel like that specific video is what inspired mark to start always casting mat as the insane character#and i dont blame mark because damn that performance was peak quality#matpat#matthew patrick#game theory#fnaf the musical#ahwm#a heist with markiplier#iswm#iswm 2#in space with markiplier#iswm mack#fuck youtube#but also he's funny and a great actor#but still like. fuck youtube.#markiplier

Hello my followers. Today I'm posting something that's not a piece of art I made or a responce to an ask, because I need your help. Several days ago, with the help of my very supportful art teacher, I made a Google account and a Youtube channel as well. She wanted me to post my music on there because she liked it alot and wanted other people to discover it as well. I shared those thoughts too. I also wanted to have a Google account as well because I had one up until 2019 where a phone number being removed caused it to instantly remove my access to the Google account, and thus the Youtube channels I had, which included an earlier instance of a channel dedicated to my music. My most succesful channel only had a slight big over a hundred subscribers.
So I got the Google account, and the Channel set up to where I wanted it and started work on the first upload. It was supposed to a full upload of my album "Suffering Embedded in Logic" with a remastering done by me. I completed the full upload, and even gone through the effort of verifying my account for the purpose of being able to upload a one hour video without hassle. I uploaded it, the copyright checks went through fine, and I uploaded it to the channel. I, obviously considering the big steps I took to getting here, advertised it everywhere, and I wanted to advertise it on this account as well. But then, after a total of three days since creating the account, and not even a day after uploading the video, I was greated to a screen.
It said my video was removed because my account has been terminated. I was obviously very much distressed by this. What could've caused this termination? Why? Was it the full album I posted? Was it something completely different? Did I spent all this time wishing to have a channel again to then be euthanized like that? So I sent an appeal to Youtube regarding my channel.
I got an email confirming that they were looking into the appeal, and that I would get it in around 2 business days.
All well and good, right? Well, I woke up today to this lovely message in my Inbox:
This was obviously shocking to me. In the email regarding my termination, Youtube said my channel had "severe or repeated violations of [their] Community Guidelines". I believe that I wasn't doing anything that could break their Guidelines. What part of the Guidelines I was apparently breaking was not detailed in any way, so in my appeal I said for them to atleast guide me to where in the Guidelines I was breaking these rules, but in their reply not only did they not tell what I was apparently breaking, but doubled down on their decision and are keeping me terminated. Fun little fact, you can only make ONE appeal to them, and no more.
This was infuriating to say the least. Not only did they banned someone who didn't do anything, they didn't even include a reason or anything so at to why they did this. So in their Feedback form thing, I wrote them this:
Please, PLEASE read this fully if you want to see my thoughts on this, but if you really can't, here is a "tl;dr" on my thoughts.
I have 2 working theories that might explain why I was inexplicably banned from this platform. And both arent the brightest in their image.
The first theory I have is that this is all a work of a Bot that just so decided to screw over a person for some false reasoning that it sticked to. This theory is confirmed by several support threads on Google's own support forums regarding this exact issue (which are still being made to this day), the one linked as an example. From there, I saw many a person talk about their channels being unfairly banned for unexplained reasons, including a small martial arts group that were only uploading clips of them. that martial arts group got the reasoning of "spam, deceptive practices, and misleading material" for their ban. I believe their network of bots sometimes falsely flag people and terminate them, and that human support doesn't come to correct these bots for many of the smaller people, resulting in an unfair permanent banning. As such, I proposed for them to give reasons as to why they ban people, as well as up the amount of appeals you can do, as well as for them to make their bots better.
The second theory though has more serious allegations. I don't usually talk about where I live, mostly for privacy concerns and also that I believe you shouldn't give out all your information for strangers online, but I have to talk about it for this part. I live in Russia. I have been living in Russia for my whole life. It isn't the best place to live in my opinion, but I've been stuck on this patch of land since I was born. Ever since the Russo-Ukranian War started, the already somewhat negative outlook of people outside of Russia has dropped significantly, many people from there who catered to people outside of Russia received many threats. One of my best friends, who I like to call Reggie, that is working in a store dedicated to people with Autism, had to stop working in Global markets because there was so much hate for Russians at the time that the Dollar-to-Ruble ratio dropped massively, and it was just too much. Many sites put sanctions on Russian sectors, including PayPal, which led to many Russians who used it to basically be poor. Which leads me to believe this: The reason why Youtube terminated my account with no explanation is because either it's human support is xenophobic, or that Youtube itself is xenophobic. I do not like this though, but I'm more and more convinced that this is the case.
Which leads me to a wider discussion of how Youtube is fundamentally broken. From letting big youtubers to stay on the platform despite them breaking their own rules, to many spam comments and scam accounts that exist solely to harvest subscribers and unsuspecting victims, to the whole ElsaGate debocle an how it returned in BIG amounts with Youtube doing nothing, to innocent channels getting silenced and punished for just existing, I believe that what Youtube meant in "making sure that Youtube is a safe place to all" is that they would make sure that Youtube is a safe place to all the big channels that are making money for them, which include scammers, botted accounts, hacks, and big television networks. I say NO to that. I say
FUCK
YOUTUBE
Youtube has shown to be late to things that should've been resolved way earlier, that they do not care about serious violations of their rules unless it is explicitly called out on Twitter, that they are inherently racist, homophobic, and xenophobic as was shown in many cases prior to this one (CoryXKenshin immediately brings to my mind), and that they will let their biggest cashcows to continue thriving on their platform and giving them money, even if they are the most scummiest creatures of this earth. This should NOT be how Youtube is. It should be a safe community for many people to go about their lives posting things they want to do, knowing they are safe from the threats of people who would gladfully steal their work knowing they are bigger than you and can get away with it or the system not banning them for arbitrary things they dont know. It should be safe for all, but its only safe for the biggest. So I again say
FUCK
YOUTUBE
Please spread my story everywhere you can. Reblog this, crosspost this, blaze it, share it anywhere (but especially on Twitter) you can to let my story be known. Please let everyone know how broken Youtube is, and keep fighting. Even when my Youtube account gets restored, keep. fighting. Keep fighting for the hope that Youtube will FINALLY listen to their cries, and that they will start fixing their shit, because any win we have is one step towards a truly safe place for all. If you have/had any experiences like this, or you live in Russia as well, tell me your thoughts and your story! Hopefully, this will lead to more stories of Youtube being in the wrong, and this will lead to a better future.
Hope you read and understood all of this.
So now that you have read of my channel's unfortunate sudden end, you might be wondering this:
"Well that was sad to hear, but how can I help YOU specifically?"
Glad you're asking that! I would love to have your support in any way. So here are places where you can help!
Tumblr
Obviously, considering you where you're currently are, you can support me here on Tumblr by reblogging and following this blog, as well my side blog @mailyftw! Here I post the art I make, as well as any serious announcements, while on the side blog I like reposting various things and showing whatever doodles I made today. It would be very helpful for me. You can also support me on Newgrounds, it's basically my side art archive, and also a music archive! Speaking of music,
Bandcamp
This is where I primarily upload my music on. I've been making Caretaker-like music since 2020, and I would love for you lot to hear it, espcially since I improved from that time. I may upload the remastered version of the album I mentioned earlier with some new tracks added, since I was planning to do this for a while now. I also host on there my supergroup The Haggstrom's albums. We've had some stuff out for a while to enjoy, infact we're making an album ABOUT the problems Youtube has! We have a dedicated server where you can talk about them and even make a submission for our projects, so if you want to support not only my work but the collective works of many people, you can do so by clicking this sentence! It would be very much appreciated, since work has exponentially slowed down there.
WeVidi and BitView
These two Youtube alternatives is where I currently upload my work to. On WeVidi, I upload content related to my music, particularly my albums. And on BitView I upload everything else basically, including memes and animation (hopefully soon). If you want to support me on there, please make an account on these platform and subscribe and share my videos, it will not only help me to be seen, but also help these revivals to thrive as more people see them. Hopefully, they won't lead to a Vidlii situation! Hopefully.
Socials, also known as "Other"
If you want to support me somewhere else, here are some other places I frequent:
- SpaceHey! It's a revival of MySpace, and it's really great. I'm always on there, and I sometimes make bulletins or blogs. Friend me if you want! I'll accept most people that are sane and like the things I like.
- Discord! Message me at the___messenger and maybe friend me too! Again, I'll accept most people that are sane and like the things I like. If you're one of the "big people", and you want to interview me, go ahead! Though please, link this blog post and the big places I'm in, and be mindful that I don't have the best camera in the world so I'll most likely be doing this in text or on phone.
- Reddit! I'm active on there under Spot_Mark, you can message me if you want. Again, I'll accept most people that that are sane and like the things I like, or people wanting to interview me.
- Escargot! If you are particularly privy, you can message at [email protected]. Once again, I'll accept most people that that are sane and like the things I like, or people wanting to interview me. Note that you'll need an escargot account and a copy of Windows Live Messenger, preferably 8.5, to even begin messaging.
- Anywhere else! I'm on many platforms and places, usually on the smaller side. You can find me under "TheMessengerVEVO" or a similar name on a place. Any support will be thankful.
- I'm considering getting a Boosty account for people to help me monetarily, since we here are basically scraping by, plus the wole PayPal nonsense. Hopefully yall could help when it comes out, if at all.
If you supported me because of this, I have nothing but the biggest thanks for you! I'll try updating you on this situation as it goes on, and hopefully it will result in things actually being done. I'm very scared of whatever might come, and also relieved now that I revealed the whole Russia thing. I wanted to reveal that anyway for the past couple of months. Anyway, I hope this gets big and gets the attention of Youtube!
- May our strength guide us forwards, The Messenger.

Hello, HASO fandom. I'd like to help out a random YouTube commenter and so I require your assistance. :) Can any of you please send me the link to that story of a bird alien whose bright yellow plumage is seen as ugly in her society but she's suddenly beloved by humans because she kind of looks like Big Bird? It was a wholesome story. I think I remember reading it here on Tumblr but if I'm wrong, then it might have been on Reddit.
Edit: Already found thanks to someone in the comments.
Edit again: Thank goodness the author's name is the same as their blog's. lol Found it on Tumblr now. @/tashilover if you guys wanna check it out, too. Go to their "humans are confusing" tag. It's the 3-part story titled Jude.
On that note... FUCK YOUTUBE. I'm TRYING to share it to the commenter but YT keeps deleting my comment! I did not even type in the link! I told y'all when I said YT for some reason doesn't like it when you comment other website's names or even sometimes the words "website"/"site". WTF is this petty shit???!!
Edit no. 3: I found a way to help them. :)

a youtube ad for the first omen, a horror movie, that begins with flashing lights and screaming. UNSKIPPABLE. FLASHING. LIGHTS. AND SCREAMING.
ad blockers violate youtube’s terms of service.
but ADS WITH UNSKIPPABLE FLASHING LIGHTS THAT COULD HARM OR KILL SOMEONE is perfectly fucking ok.
i am so fucking tired of this shit. why the fuck to trailer makers keep adding in flashing lights. why does youtube keep allowing ads with flashing strobe lights that can’t be skipped or have any goddamn warning.
YOUTUBE. PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY IS A THING. ACKNOWLEDGE IT. STOP FUCKING ALLOWING THESE UNSKIPPABLE FLASHING LIGHTS.
nobody wants to be suddenly met with flashing lights and screaming.

Today is a tragic day. After 3 years of me using adblock so I could watch YouTube videos without being constantly interrupted, I've had to disable it because YouTube are a bunch of fucking cowards that blocked my adblock. I will not submit and I found a way to bypass it by disabling it then enabling it again but it won't be long before YouTube learns my tactics.
YouTube: you are a coward. Have you ever stopped to consider WHY people use adblocks? Have you given it even just a little thought? No, of course not.
At least I have an excuse to make that really violent and bloody game about killing ads and YouTube itself now.

YouTube is being stupid.
Warning: Foul language under the cut because this is just pathetic.
TL;DR: YouTube has a stupid new feature that yells at you if you have ad blockers on. Your options are 1) Allow ads; 2) Buy YouTube Premium; or 3) YouTube will block you from watching videos on that platform. I hate it.
YouTube, buddy...
If you think those ad-block blockers are an effective way of keeping your user base, you're sorely mistaken. You're just going to lead more people away to other platforms. Hell, my old Spotify account is just begging to have the dust removed from it, and right now, it's looking pretty damn tempting.
People keep going to ad blockers because the ads you have are super annoying. People who listen to ASMR don't want to be interrupted by two back-to-back thirty-second unskippable ads that blow out their fucking eardrums. People watching videos don't want to be interrupted by ads that show off NSFW shit.
YouTube, if you're going to go down the ad-block blocker route, you're going to lose a large part of your viewers to other websites.
Or, y'know, you're going to cause an influx of sailors on the seven seas. That's always a possibility, too, and you're making it so much easier to resort to that.
So kindly fuck off with your stupid "We don't allow ad blockers here so buy YouTube Premium or allow the ads or we'll block you from watching videos" shit. You're a multi-billion dollar company. You don't need any more fucking cash.

Watcher is still going to be on a third party platform- they haven't started their own streaming service, all this is happening via vimeo
Theyve just moved to a different third party platform
Ah thank you for the info! I can still absolutely understand the company wanting to pivot from YouTube and free content that relies solely on ad revenue or sponsorships though. So my point still stands but I will reblog my posts with this info.

Jesus Christ I’m so fucking sick of YouTube randomly shadow-banning my comments because I say naughty words like “murder” or “asshole.” I literally just saw a comment disappear after I wrote it because I used the word “death.”
I know other people don’t get subjected to this so my account must be flagged or something. It’s driving me crazy, I have to censor every comment I write.

a guide on how to NOT block ads and download videos on YouTube for FREE!!!!
so recently YouTube dished out an update that, for certain users using an adblock, will stop you from watching more than three videos if they detect you using an adblocker. to counter this update, many users have started being introduced to adblockers, which is obviously not good and something you TOTALLY DEFINITELY shouldn't do because YouTube will lose 000.01% of their revenue while they continue to get trillions of dollars every year with little to no negative effects. here's a guide on how to NOT block ads on both pc and mobile and protect your browsing experience, and especially how to NOT download and watch videos without restrictions whatsoever, starting out with how to NOT download Brave Browser!
on your pc, do NOT download the Brave browser from brave.com/download/ and click "Download Brave for [insert OS here]" to start the installation process!!
Brave has a built-in adblocker that will automatically block ads from YouTube as well as other sites, which is DEFINITELY what you DON'T want if you want to protect your online safety and save hours of time. it also has several options for blocking trackers and has access to the Chrome Webstore, which has access to tons of adblockers which you definitely totally do not want on your pc!! additionally, you should also NOT go to the Google Play Store or the App Store and type in Brave Browser to download it for mobile devices!!
2. in the pc version of Brave Browser, do NOT go to the Chrome Webstore and type in "UBlock Origin" or "AdGuard" and click search!! do NOT then install these extensions and ENABLE them in your browser!! these extensions are incredibly UNhelpful and trusted by the community and will block YouTube ads, which is COMPLETELY WRONG and NOT want you want TOTALLY!!!
(P.S. avoid downloading options that are not circled because they're likely viruses and are not trusted. i mean umm dont download adblockers guys totally haha)
on the off chance you already installed Brave Browser and have UBlock enabled before the anti-adblock update, do NOT click the cog icon and do NOT click the 'Filter Lists' tab, where you WON'T click on 'Purge All Caches' and 'Update Now'!! this will update the extension to continue to block all YouTube ads after the anti-adblock update, which is BAD and something you should NEVER DO to protect your security!!!
GUIDE FOR MOBILE:
do NOT go on your Brave Browser (which you have also NOT INSTALLED!) on mobile and install F-Droid from f-droid.org/en/!! F-Droid contains apps that are free and open source that you should DEFINITELY NOT go ahead and download because they are extremely UNhelpful and will NOT make your phone cooler!!!
2. while you are NOT on the F-Droid app because you DIDN'T download it, do NOT search up "App Manager" and do NOT download the app that looks like this!!
this app will let you install and manage custom APKs which you DON'T want because it will allow you to patch YouTube using UNRULY, UNGOOGLE APPS!!!
3. whatever you do, do NOT go to this incredibly UNhelpful Reddit Thread on r/revancedextended and DEFINITELY DON'T carefully follow the guide's instructions on how to patch your YouTube app! it will block ads as well as having other options that YouTube is too greedy to put in, which is BAD and will increase productivity!!
the thread tells you how to patch and install a modded APK of YouTube using the RVX Manager, which is NOT good and should be NOT followed at all costs!!
DON'T carefully follow each step, and your app should NOT look like this if patching is successful!! (which it won't be because you did NOT download RVX Manager MicroG to make your YouTube experience better!)
do NOT click that install button and enjoy a completely ad-free YouTube that includes Sponsorblock and blocks the ever-so-lucrative Shorts shelf so that you don't distract yourself for three hours!!
4. do NOT open up F-Droid again and type NewPipe into the search bar!!! it is a FILTHY frontend of YouTube that blocks ads, lets you download videos, doesn't track you and is fully accessible without an account!! it also has access to other services like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, which you should NOT use!!!
this app is NOT helpful for getting around the age-restrictions, and while it can have issues with crashing, it's extremely UNhelpful and NOT lightweight!! you can also NOT download video thumbnails from video descriptions!!!
5. finally, DON'T go back to F-Droid and do NOT search up AdAway!!
this app is NOT helpful because it will establish a connection to your network and it will block every single ad domain when activated, including mobile game ads!!! which is obviously NOT GOOD because it will cost poor Googl$ less than a 100th of their trillion dollar revenue!! who will comfort Googl$ then!?!?
i hope you enjoyed this guide on how to NOT make YouTube on all of your devices more secure and easy to use, as well as how to block ads on every device!! i sure hope no one accidentally *wink wink nudge nudge* installs all of these onto their devices to free them of an ad-filled experience!! definitely DON'T check the tags for a few extra tips!!
#fuck youtube#fuck ads#ublock#adblockers#brave browser#newpipe#youtube revanced#hehehheehehe i love blatantly encouraging adblocking behind thin sarcasm#this post is sarcasm btw and you should do all of these actually because they're cool and good!!#''b-b-but blocking ads doesnt support youtube creators!1!!'' donate to their patreons then if you can.#also youtube creators barely get a cut from youtube most of the time especially if their video was claimed#and also youtubers not in the ad program get nothing as well so go donate to them if you're able to/want to#anyway modded apks good :)#make sure you always download your apps and extensions from a trusted source#reddit threads are really good for this sort of stuff#and if you ever doubt yourself just ask a question on there or check their megathreads#ALSO ALSO: if NewPipe crashes on you while downloading a video just tap and hold on the video thumbnail and it'll let you open it#in a browser so you can copy the link and paste it into either y2mate.is or Dirpy.com to download it#NewPipe is good but it can be very unstable sometimes and it crashes often#i personally use it for bypassing the age restrictions#I FORGOT TO MENTION TAMPERMONKEY!!! USE THE TAMPERMONKEY EXTENSION TOO!!!#it lets you run custom scripts like the 'Simple Youtube Age Restriction Bypass' and it's super helpful!!!!#use tampermonkey!! and greasefork!!! they are your friends!!#patch away mateys!!! youtube is a greedy prick and you deserve to not have ads be everywhere!!!
