* Security Updates, "Please input your mobile phone number"... '''what'''?
** More properly, first, I do not want to give Google and Youtube my mobile phone number, my Inbox is flooded with enough spam and mails that I don't give half a damn about anyway, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Second, what if I don't have a mobile phone? What about ''all those users that actually don't''? Does Youtube really not care about the fuss they are causing to these users?
* The difficulty in posting comments on a video. I type up my comment. I click post and a green 'OK' appears next to the cancel button. What do I do next? Do I click the 'OK'? Do I let it stay that way for awhile?
** You basically need to refresh the page, sacrificing your place in the video if you have it playing, or click 'All Comments'.
** It's become even more difficult to post a comment on Youtube now that they now have "Comment Pending Approval".
Line 23:
* Why does uploading a video give you the option to not make it available on mobile devices? And more importantly why do some people use that? That's just losing views right?
** Could be done for size options, compatibility options, software options, or just because they don't want people to distract themselves when doing something important like driving or at the dentist's office.
** It gives you the option based on just whether or not you want to, not how big or compatible your video is. And if someone's stupid enough to be watching a video while they're driving then I doubt finding out that specific video is down will stop them, they can just move onto the next one. I'm not sure if you're understanding the question, you get the option to allow people to watch it on their mobile phones or not.
* Is there a way to set it up so you can't see any comments at all? I'm done dealing with the [[Fan Dumb]] and [[Hate Dumb]], I'd be a genuinely happier man if I could no longer see any comments at all.
** Firefox (or Chrome if you prefer) has the stylish add-on where you can download a style to hide them.
** Original poster here, and I use Chrome. Could you tell me more about this add-on?
** [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/14530 Here's what I use] should work in Firefox and Chrome, you just need greasemonkey.
** Alternatively, you can just not scroll down.
* How'd people get tired of the "arrow to the knee" jokes faster than the "number of dislikers/thumbs up if/[[Justin Bieber]]" jokes? They weren't around nearly as long and weren't quoted that much more than the others.
** Well "arrow to the knee" jokes really only applied to gamers, sure other people knew about it, but Justin Bieber jokes appeal to a larger audience.
* Blocking another user. I don't know if it was different before the changes, but I blocked someone, and he still had the ability to send me a message with the ''blocked'' account. So pretty much, blocking is useless?
* Why is it that whenever a Youtuber is suspended, every single one of his/her videos get removed from the site forever, even when they don't infringe copyright, or even have anything to do with the offending video or its "proper" owner? That's just ridiculous!<br />Even [[Deviant ART]] lets people view the work of a user that was banned from the site, even the stuff that got them banned to begin with! Wouldn't it be easier to just delete the offending videos, and disable the option to upload further videos under that channel? This is a serious problem, because this is how a lot of the good videos on the site get [[Lost Forever]], not because they infringed copyright, but because the user that uploaded it got suspended over ''[[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|a completely unrelated video]]''.
** If You Tube have received multiple content violation notifications about a particular user then they probably find it easier to just delete the lot rather than go through every video and figure out which ones are legal.
* Why even bother with the copyright crap anyway? Some of the videos are unviewable here in Germany, and not just ones that contain copyright content. I never thought I'd say this, but [[YouTube]] sucks!
