YouTube Users: Navigating Support & Restrictions
YouTube users are experiencing issues, ranging from account restrictions (new user posting limits) to bugs and problems with paid services like Premium and Memberships. They are frequently directed to external resources and bug reporting forms, indicating a lack of direct, accessible support within the platform itself. The automated responses highlight a disconnect between user needs and available assistance.

“i think it’s overkill when most of them already have patreon. YouTube was always supposed to be free, so they should’ve never included a membership option imo. that’s what twitch is for.”
“Youtube is transforming into AiTube, and pressing the B button isn't doing anything.”
“I don’t see anything wrong with that title. If the video itself is exceptionally well made, it’ll get views nonetheless.”
“I treat them more like a library than a feed, honestly. People stumble onto shorts from search or the side-scroll, not because you dropped them at a specific time. If someone finds one and likes it, they'll binge whatever's there. Dumping a batch means they've got more to dig through right away instead of hitting a dead end after 30 seconds.”
“I do that too. Both subscribing and liking all the videos I see and the creators that made them.”
“To be fair, starting a clip channel before reading YouTube's reused content policy isn't the best move either.”
“Actually it does. Ever see the jjjacksfilms channel? He regularly exposes people for breaking youtubes rules like scamming people for money or having stolen content and his fans report it and that shit gets taken down. Alot of the time reporting doesnt do shit i will agree on that but its not like it doesnt work ENTIRELY, it CAN work its kinda just more rare these days because youtube doesnt give a shit if its making them money (like with sniperwolf) so they'll easily get smaller channels in”

“Yeah that’s what I’ve done this week. I think I’m gonna not post for about 72 hours and see if that makes a difference. I keep getting told two different things about reposting my old videos. Which they aren’t that old my channel isn’t a year old. But some say it hurts and some say it doesn’t. When in the past I’ve posted old videos they usually do about the same as it did the first time”
“I recommend everyone on a computer get FreeTube if you really wanna keep ur subscriptions and history. Keep in mind you might want to forge your watch later and playlists by adding the vids one by one from that playlist. Watch later too! You do have 14 days so thats definitely more than enough”
“It's not fullproof, and AI could still technically arbitrarily delete the channel if you uploaded something that appeared to be against terms of use, but my GF has been doing this for years and years.”
“Alright, mr Moderator, explain what constitute "effort" when sharing a "VIDEO"!!!”

“Would somebody explain to me what Sub4Sub is all about, please? I’m nervous right now. submitted by /u/Own-Banana9190 [link] [comments]”
“My shorts are experiencing the same, suspect it’s to do with YouTube prioritising world cup content but can’t say for sure.”
“For the record I already have a monetized channel but that’s on a different niche, which is why i’m making a second one I didn’t experience anything like this with the other channel so I’m not sure what’s happening”

“(Note. I’m not toxic to anyone out there, I’m just furious at COPPA and YouTube for marking that video for kids) I hate COPPA and YouTube Kids so f**king much!!!

“Read and follow reddiquette; no excessive self-promotion. Please refer to the Reddit 9:1 rule when considering posting self promoting materials.”
Mine swaps pretty much every time I open the app, don’t know why
“Mine doesn't even show up under the three dots. Did you ever figure out the problem?”
“Yup all ad revenue here as well. I tried the donation thing but without a face or a voice, it's hard to get enough sympathy required for something like that. But that's okay, I get enough views so the ad revenue is fine for me.”

“Reports have never worked on YouTube. The platform is really getting worse and worse recently”
“I’ve found clearing out files helps too. Emails, downloads, not just photos and videos. The problem is having somewhere to back it up to and transferring it there in the first place.”
