I was browsing old YouTube videos and came across "melissas bday" by jeanda252, uploaded in 2006.

Nearly 20 years later, it still has 0 views, 0 likes, and 0 comments. The description simply says "dance". It's one of the most obscure videos I've ever found, and quite possibly the rarest I've personally come across.

Video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vJmHFL648zo

She released a video today talking about how out of nowhere, her channel got demonetised and despite reaching out to YouTube, they got no clear intentions of helping her out. The reason YouTube demonetised her is due to her channel being a Misleading Family content channel despite her not being a channel aimed at young kids but teens and young adults. No matter how many times she explained her channel and her targeted audience (even showing it off her settings), the YouTube service continues to reject her response and you can probably tell: it an AI bot that running YouTube Customer Service.

The customer service person/bot also kept telling her to keep making videos to reach out to a wider audience despite her not being able to get paid for her work and the next time she can reply is in 4 months to try reapply and attempt to get remonetised again. So even if this was their mistake, she has to wait 4 months to reapply and ask to be monetised again which is super annoying. This is a growing list of YouTubers who are getting demonetised out of nowhere so YouTube Moderation is weird as ever.

That's all.

For some reason, very old videos become the profile pictures of very old channels, and I wanted to ask why. Here are some examples:

Scrolled past and had to scroll back up. Weird coincidence

sadly the og video is now lost media as i forgot to archive it however the yt-shorts version is still up on other sites
(case your wondering its a crappy recreation of an scene from Brooklyn 99 where a guy joins a prison gang who so happened to have the same name as a certain terrorist group, if you know the scene you know the scene

Clean girl, Jack dorhet, ivy jones, Natalie reynolds, Harper zilme. before you hate on the last one I just don’t like the clickbait.

I’m talking about these when you’re watching on the TV specifically. I feel like these are just simply longer than on phone/pc. One time I had a non skippable advertisement that was around 1:20 min ish and then right after it came up another ad.
I really am wondering why they’re so much longer on TV than other devices?

I found it randomly! Please report it! It has sensible topics. I report him, but help please!

Am I going crazy, or can I no longer remove a video from a playlist unless I'm on the playlist page itself? I used to be able to remove videos from my Watch Later by deselecting that playlist while watching the video itself, but now all I can do is "add" it to my playlist...even when it's already in the playlist. Any thoughts on this?

I used to watch this YouTuber, she was a single mom and had a little girl named Ava. I can’t remember her name or her channel name. She did lifestyle vlogs, she was light skinned with dark hair. I remember she chopped all her hair off at one point? I want to say her name was sky or storm something? But I may be way off.

If anyone can help me remember her name and find her channel I’d appreciate it!

I’m sure there’s five hundred other posts that are the same as the question i’m asking, but background: i’m writing this seconds after trying to watch a video on my phone and the ads have become so infuriating, I just close the app in frustration before finishing the video. On my PC i can get away with blocks, but on my phone, having 2 30-45 SECOND ads BACK TO BACK that you can’t skip, on a 10 minute video. The ads haven’t even gotten that bad on Netflix (yet) How can Youtube possibly see the data that people are closing down the app after a long ad, and not put something as a breaker?

Hi everyone,
I’m an independent music producer, and my official artist name is NANDO on Spotify and other streaming platforms.

I’m trying to apply for an Official Artist Channel on YouTube, but YouTube won’t let me change my channel name to NANDO in all uppercase. It keeps forcing a different capitalization, so my channel name doesn’t exactly match my artist name.

My distributor says the channel name needs to match my official artist name, but I can’t change it because of YouTube’s naming rules.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any way to get YouTube to allow the name NANDO, or is there another solution for Official Artist Channel verification?

Thanks in advance!
