Verified ReviewerFraudulent website selling fake merchandise
- - Hand-knit Finland-made sweaters with a satisfaction return.
- - Sweaters came from China, not hand-knit; returns refused.
- - Do not purchase from this company.
Imari had advertised hand-knit sweaters made in Finland with a return of purchase if not satisfied. No such company exists.
The sweaters came from China, were not hand-knit, and they refuse to let me return them. They need to be taken down from the YouTube channel.
It is a scam and illegal! Do not purchase from this company.

Recent UI change, And video marked as for kids wrongfully
- - The view count shows only a number, not views.
- - A video was marked for kids; user did not consent and asks YouTube to reverse.
Recently, i have noticed the the view count display only shows the number and not "views", which is very infuriating.
I also saw that a video titled "THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS - Ep 4: Fast Food Masquerade" be marked as "for kids" despite how the video is unnerving for kids and shouldn't be watched by kids until their older.
I did not consent to either of these decisions. Youtube must reverse both or we will have a big problem
User's recommendation: If this happens to you, Immediately email them or find a way to contact them ASAP

They charged me after I cancelled and on my credit card which I never gave them that information.
Uphold my choice not to want their product and go in back door to get paid. When I first went on site and got charged I had no idea what I had done.

Verified ReviewerPeople are generating video for their channels by attacking unsuspecting people for no reason.
I have been attacked twice now. Once several years ago when I was driving for Uber. Then again on February 4. In both instances the perpetrators called the police and claimed that I had attacked them.
In the most recent instance, the Utube channel owner threatened me with pepper spray only inches from my face. I couldnt sleep at all for 4 days. I cant stop thinking about {{Redacted}} myself. I have panic attacks and wake up trembling.
I am starting {{Redacted}} therapy and seeing a therapist to try to recover. $$$$$
The perpetrator posted her lies about me on our community bulletin board with a link to her Utube channel. When I tried to refute her lies, she got a restraining order against me and had me banned from the community bulletin board.
Threatening someone with pepper spray is a crime in all 50 states, but the police are doing nothing. The perpetrator is attractive and photogenic. She chooses her words well. I am sure she is well on her way to being a successful social influencer.
- Great educational resource
- Criminal behavior rewarded

I hate this abusive scam showing 20,000 ads everyday video!!!!!
- - User says account deactivated for spreading truth.
- - They say paying $90 to watch 14 games weekly is excessive and the platform is a scam with ad abuse.
I have been a user for 20 years, and they deactivated my page all because of spreading truth. They'll take my money, but they won't monetize me.
This is a fraud scam platform; they hang up on you when you complain about the ads. This is ad abuse! Please investigate them because they're ruining lives with just this controlling manipulative tactic to keep us viewing while they scam us. I have to pay $90 just to watch 14 games a week.
That's ridiculous. I hate YouTube with a passion now; I hope they get shut down.
- Racist owners
- Excessive youtube ads
- Scams you for money
User's recommendation: Don’t use YouTube they will screw up your mental health with ads and demonetize you for nothing
