EARLY ACCESS: YouTube Support: Completely Useless

VIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/1GLjP459E4k

Every year or so, I usually do that one "bite the hand that feeds" video talking about my behind-the-scenes experiences with YouTube as a platform, and as we get close to 2020 being half over (yeah, can you believe that? We're 1 month away from the halfway point) I figured it was about that time. Enjoy a look at my dealings with YouTube's support team, AND enjoy it 24 hours earlier than everyone else!

EARLY ACCESS: YouTube Support: Completely Useless

Global pandemic; travel restriction everywhere, YT Support: "Uh, say his viewers are on vacation!"

I hate, just, hate, those Nothing answers. Where it's so obvious they didn't think about your request at all, and probably only skimmed the email. I work in technical support, and it's stupid how often I hear "Man your tech support is the best." What difference it makes when the agent on the phone/behind the screen actually thinks about the human being on the other end. Anyway, loving the content! And I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying it. I still need to try that cupacake...

I'm encountering something similar with a Facebook page I co-admin. Yesterday afternoon, I received what frankly looked like a scam email that the page had been "removed" due to fraudulent or misleading content, or something that broke the law. It's a page for an online gaming league. We post results and screenshots. I filled out the form response as requested (aside from not being able to tell them why I thought it wasn't objectionable content...because I have no idea what made them shut down the page). The response? Basically a carbon-copy form letter of what I already know. I've asked for detail, I've sent screenshots to justify the existence of the page and the league it represents. I haven't seen a response to that. I can't say I really expect one, either. I guess we'll just remake the page and hope that we don't post something else that's deemed "fraudulent" about our free-to-play video game league.

That also gets to my pet peeve of app-only content or access. I have a Web portal I use to interact with one of my longtime customers, a freight broker. They have some admin features that are only available through the app. Well, that's wonderful. But I'd think the portal would be the fully-featured system, because if I'm doing admin stuff, chances are I'm at work. At my PC, with a keyboard. Instead, their "new technology" push means I have to set the PC aside to do something on my phone.

I'll be honest, I've never been too huge into YouTube and I get bored of shit soooo easily but I've been watching your channel for a decade. You're a breath of fresh air imo, much better than all the clickbait-y gimmicky nonsense I see on this website. I hope you'll keep going.

The main difference between Patreon and YouTube is the people who patronize you and the people who put their money where their mouths are by actually supporting you a little bit as they are able to. In other words it's the difference between those who patronize you and those who Patreonize you hehe (feel free to use that in advertising) :D #AveBuckley

Fuck em Buckley. The whole of the new “technocrat” society is riddled with bullshit algorithms and things I cannot fathom. I tell google to not show me feeds from certain news sources or about certain stories all the time. Low and behold next refresh or next day, same shit.

Glad amazon is shelling out an extra 2 bucks an hour so I can shell out an extra 10 bucks a month. Also glad to hear that you’re enjoying yourself.

YouTube was never the feeding hand for you though... merely a platform.

Well, they even tell you that "if a person doesn't have the app on they may not be notified". So then what's the point? I remember I used to get an e-mail once a week that showed me new content from channels I was subscribed to, what happened to that?

Congrats! It's hard to "randomize", I don't know how others do it given the tools I'm given, but I've been doing my best to try and get some new names up on the front every month.

Adam Buckley

Oh, I'm going to bleed a few subscribers on this one as they call me a "whiner" or claim I only care about this now for whatever reason ("You sold out!") but yeah, I think it's valid and I think it's important to note that I'm mostly just asking questions. If they're going to create a game of it, I'd like to know the rules.

Adam Buckley

Youtube's algorithm was adjusted to slowly bleed those channels that do not make money or don't fit in with youtube's new family-friendly guidelines. It has been shown on several occasions that even the notification bell does fuck all if the channel in question does not fit into Susan's concept for the future, which seems to include a lot of purge-rinse-repeat cycles.

I finally made it on one of your videos!! I’m so happy!

Teresa Jones

At first, was low key rolling my eyes after reading the title, but the roasts here were top notch, and your being upset is valid. Those who subscribe SHOULD ABSOLUTELY be seeing your videos.
