Revenue update
I think Youtube's revenue needs an update. The current version is from a two year old source and is labeled in 2021. Please, if new information is available, update this metric. Thanks, Lucky7Chromebook (talk) 23:35, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

YT Kids
I feel like there has been enough controversy about YT Kids to deserve it's own sub-section under YouTube Kids. FusionSub (talk) 12:40, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Revenue Update (Edit)
I have reread the new version of the article and I would like to thank the person who update the revenue. However, it was updated from 2021 to 2022, ignoring 2023. I would like to know if the only way to determine YouTube's revenue for 2023 would be to estimate or there is no way to know. Anyways, thank you for the update.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- There is not enough historical information here about Google Videos being hugely unsuccessful and being the actual reason for purchasing Youtube.
- 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.
