Something Missing

Where are the criticisms and controversies? I know there are reliable sources. I feel like it would fail the broadness criterion of a GAN without any of the bad reception. QuicoleJR (talk) 19:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

We could sleuth some information to share truth on Wikipedia.

1. What is the real reason (mentioned without citationneeded, strangely, which makes it weasel-words) for removing dislikes? I was quite proud of my 500- to 0 likes/dislikes over 50+ videos shared. It deserves a prize on Youtube, more than obviously pleasing videos, it's a highly technical subject and so requires 100% accuracy in sharing information.
2. Why was the decision made to destroy Youtube functionality with Made for Kids? Extremely few allow comment censoring as usual, but the kicker is, you can't even put cartoons on a playlist for kids. It's so [stupidhttps://support.google.com/youtube/thread/25007475/why-can-t-i-favourite-a-video?hl=en stupid] it requires investigation.
3. There is not enough historical information here about Google Videos being hugely unsuccessful and being the actual reason for purchasing Youtube.
4. After Google became successful (by buying up a competitor), Google has isolated itself from the public completely, with no accessible product forum for complaints. This is consistent with their other products. There is not enough mention of how this has affected the Youtube brand they purchased. Passages on this page may reflect poorly on those who created the original product; therefore, it's important to point out the timeline reasons for the takeover of the product.

We require third-party sources to make any claims related to these changes. We cannot deduce from disparate information to come to a conclusion. --Masem (t) 03:36, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Thinking it might be useful to cover some of the behind-the-scenes features, like what content creators can do with videos: schedule previews, enable/disable comments, pinned comments, timestamps in comments, livestream slow mode, limit to subscribers, perhaps of a certain duration, e.g. 5 min., appointing moderators, timeouts, banning, chapters, transcripts, reporting problem comments, blocking other users. Also might be interesting to know what creators, moderators can see about us users. Maybe have some info on monetization for content creators, video demonetization, channel demonetization scandals/drama (most recently Humanist Report). What kind of cut does Google take for Super Chat, Super Sticker, Super Thanks? (IIRC 30% Super Chat) Same for all? Useful superuser feature: sharing URL with video timestamp. More about copyright strike dramas, e.g. high-profile music educator Rick Beato? General creator frustrations with terrible/unresponsive YouTube support on demonetization, copyright-strike, other issues. Doug Grinbergs (talk) 22:11, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
