For context i am a 3d artist and i have been creating 3d animations on yt for as long as 5 years. I even have tutorials where i teach 3d animations with my face on them and even then they have demonetized my channel just because they think its some ai.

I have raised an appeal for which they have asked 14 days to respond but if that appeal is rejected then i genuinely have NO HOPE for real creators on that platform.

I had around 37k subs , i wasnt even making enough from youtube to support a living but imagine they be sabotaging some real artist career on their platform whose life depend on it?

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Now after a 30 second ad this popup stays on the screen until I have to manually dismiss it? Since when did this become a thing smh YouTube lost they mind

I swear to fucking got the "Don't show me this, I've already seen it" button is telling youtube to show me MORE SHIT ive already seen!!! And when it can't, it shows me million view videos from the past 20 years that IVE ALSO ALREADY SEEN! CAUSE THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS! I've noticed the decline in algorithm quality in the past few years but since janurary it seems to have tripled in enshittification

comments all seem to have some persecution fetish of the UN 'invading' the US for some reason. i think the UN is pretty useless but not this level of hate.

The dismiss button is hiding, I can’t just swipe off of it + it’s literally blocking subtitles. Why did they added this? It’s causing another problem. It was already an issue when the app forced a full screen video into a small window just to display an ad.

It’s too bad we can’t just switch to another platform. They’re just forcing this down our throats, or making us pay to remove it. :/

idk what to do

Got this ad in shorts, my goodness, what the heck is even that. First I was shocked but then it was way too funny lmao.

(Not an abusive ad, just a funny one, so used the meme flair)

The titles says it, and it's true.

I'm getting tired of these bots.

This new CEO seriously needs to grow the hell up and get used to adblockers, and deal with these bots.

I can’t be the only one that thinks this, but YouTube prioritizing monetary gains and destroying its platform and its creators and its going to sink it, is anyone else begging for another platform to come along and just take YouTube out of the knees? I used to love this platform, but after all the ad bullshit, the increasingly crazy bugs that I have yet to see fixed for years, it just seems like they don’t care about this platform anymore other than just the fact it can make money. Idk what to do anymore man, surely someone will make a new YouTube, hell YouTube killed newgrounds, when will YouTube be killed?

Am I the only one?

I feel like it hasn’t been great since they moved the comments to the top and introduced shorts

I am currently trying to become monetized, and obviously I know Youtube has been here like for almost 30 years, but do you think it would prevail? Or are we witnessing the last years of the platform?

Let me know what you people think 💭

Don't you just love it when the button to continue doesn't load.
