I have been consistently requesting for the inappropriate mood ad featuring drugs to be removed from my account. If this continues, I will be forced to delete my account. The negative impact of such content is alarming, and I will take legal action if necessary. This issue is serious, and it is concerning how such content can influence society. I urge for immediate action to address this before it escalates further.

When I try to access my YouTube account and click on the profile, the option to create a channel does not appear. I have attempted various solutions without success. It's worth mentioning that parental controls are active on my phone, which could be causing the issue. My mother researched how to set up a YouTube channel for minors under 13, and I already have a Google account linked to the YouTube app. Unfortunately, I can't log out of the app without logging out of my Google account, risking data loss. I'm unsure of what steps to take next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello team,
I am dealing with a situation where someone is threatening to upload my personal videos on YouTube unless I pay a ransom to have them removed.
I believe that YouTube does not engage in such practices as they monitor content uploaded through external sources on their platform.
Could you please assist me in verifying this?
I have received calls from individuals claiming to be from YouTube. Below is the contact information they provided:
Person's name: Rahul Sharma
Contact number: +91-[redacted]
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Amit Kumar

Good day, my channel was blocked, and the response to my appeal seems automated. I want to unblock the channel as it does not violate any rules. There is only one video on it, which took me a month to create. The channel was created on July 17, and the video was posted on August 16, which I made entirely myself. The video is completely mine. Here is the link to the blocked channel: [redacted]. This is the first time I decided to post something, and it got blocked immediately without a chance for recovery. Please look into this situation. I hope for your understanding.

I have been seeing far-right propaganda ads on my YouTube app's search bar and within videos from left-wing creators. The advertisers, such as Prager University Foundation and Young America's Foundation, are known for spreading disinformation and hate towards marginalized groups. Despite reaching out to Team YouTube on Twitter, I am only receiving automated responses. I am trying to escalate this matter to ensure that the disproportionate far-right propaganda on YouTube is addressed by the higher-ups.

I need to report a disturbing online streaming show featuring Demetric Hooper being subjected to kidnapping, enslavement, torture, and illegal activities, all under the guise of a white supremacist agenda. The individuals involved in this include Tiana Robinson, Hogue Montoia, Kenya Moore, and Raymond Diggs. Real Mixon, contactable at [redacted], and Patricia Wilson, reachable at [redacted], can provide more information about all those mentioned. Authorities in Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City have been made aware of the situation. The police were informed about the show, unaware of its unlawful nature. They have details of the ringleader behind this horrifying operation.

Good afternoon, I'm confused about why I got blocked and can't create a new channel. I wasn't able to resolve the issue promptly and delete the material that users complained about. Initially, they let me upload content, but then received more than 3 complaints leading to a block. Is there a way to recover the channel, or start fresh by rectifying mistakes to continue learning and working on YouTube? Or is this a permanent situation due to unforeseen circumstances?

Hello, respected commission or Youtube administration. I respectfully request permission to transfer my brand channel. All the videos on this channel are original content created by me, with no violations. I seek the opportunity to unblock the channel transfer. Here is the link to the Youtube channel. I have been managing this channel for over a year. I own all the copyrights to the videos. I am unable to upload new videos due to the main profile account block of the brand account. Kindly consider allowing the transfer to a new Youtube profile to continue my work. If refusing, please provide reasons, although there are no grounds for refusal as the channel is free of strikes. Please unblock the channel for me to utilize its full potential. I await your fair response with utmost respect.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm here seeking assistance with an ongoing issue that has been troubling me. It involves a former YouTube channel that I used to own. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to this channel or the associated information, including the linked email address. The main concern is that this channel is linked to my first and last name.
The content on this channel features videos about cannabis. While it was not an issue at the time, it is now affecting my job search and reputation. When potential employers search online, they come across this old channel, which is negatively impacting my professional opportunities.
I want to emphasize that I cannot be associated with this content and regret losing access to the channel. I am eager to resolve this to protect my reputation and future career. I kindly request guidance on the necessary steps to address this matter. I greatly appreciate your expertise and support.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Best regards,

I accidentally purchased YouTube TV instead of the NFL Sunday Ticket. I paid $72.99 for the service. After contacting customer service to resolve the issue, I was advised to buy a $[redacted] Google Play card, which I did. However, the representative informed me that the card was blocked and instructed me to purchase another card to be reimbursed for the initial $[redacted]. Now, I have spent a total of $[redacted].99 and still need to buy more. I urgently require assistance with this matter.

I have a suggestion regarding the YouTube app. I would prefer to have all the features like YouTube Kids, YouTube Music, and YouTube TV consolidated into one app. As a premium user, it would be beneficial to access all the content in one place for a single payment, ensuring a good deal for users. I recommend maintaining existing deals while offering this comprehensive app experience.

I am a 66-year-old retired officer from Germany who has been using YouTube for many years. During my summer stay in Turkey, I used a Turkish SIM card on my phone and unknowingly had dubious applications installed, leading to issues with my account. I only realized this upon attempting to log in after returning home. I have since uninstalled all suspect apps and reported the incident to your company.
Having collected a library of content and personal conversations about politics over the years, it is distressing that these are now inaccessible. I kindly seek your assistance in resolving this matter.
Sincerely, Retired Officer R.

My YouTube account was abruptly shut down after 12 years of activity, which included posting a variety of videos, due to a supposed "copyright strike" on a song that was previously approved by YouTube. Now they are claiming there may be further issues, which is quite frustrating. I have appealed the decision, but my first attempt was ignored, and the second one seems to have disappeared without any resolution. It's frustrating that in today's world of algorithms, there's no way to speak to a real person regarding this issue.

I regret that the action was not allowed. I take full responsibility for the mistake and assure you that it will not happen again. Kindly reinstate my channel. My channel had a considerable number of subscribers, and I kindly request to have it recovered. I deeply value my channel and the effort I have invested in it. Losing about [redacted] subscribers due to this suspension has been disheartening. My YouTube channel is crucial for me and supports me. I promise to be more careful in the future. Please consider reopening my channel.

From August 9th to August 13th, I noticed multiple unauthorized charges on my debit card, all from YouTube. The charges are all even, like $10 and $20, totaling $[redacted]. I immediately contacted my card issuer, and they sent me paperwork that needed to be completed and returned by a specific deadline. Unfortunately, I only had one day to fill out and return the paperwork after receiving it.

I have not watched, commented on, shared, uploaded, followed, or subscribed to any violence-related content on YouTube. My daily usage and paid subscriptions are solely for entertainment, particularly general songs. I believe there has been a technical error in YouTube's monitoring system that led to the wrongful block of my channel. This unjust permanent ban has inconvenienced me greatly and affected my paid subscription. I strongly object to this unfair treatment and reserve my rights to have my YouTube channel reactivated. Kindly investigate and unblock my channel promptly. Please inform me of the expected timeframe for the investigation and recovery process. I anticipate your prompt response. Thank you.

I am having trouble viewing local channels such as CBS and FOX. Instead, I seem to be receiving Philadelphia stations or no channels at all. Additionally, I keep experiencing playback errors, for which I have already submitted feedback but have not received a response. I am currently on a free trial that expires on 9/20/[redacted]. It is crucial for me to have access to local channels to watch my football team, which is why I chose to try out YouTube TV. Thank you, Michael D.
