Today YouTube released this video after receiving complaints from people of users being unwillingly unsubscribed from the channels they follow. The video basically consists of YT saying that everything is fine and that there's nothing wrong.

As one can expect this video pissed off a lot of people. Thoughts?

i'd say 'big whoop' and tell everyone to just re-subscribe to their favorite youtubers in under a minute, but the fact that this has been going on for this long, a year I think, means that we just won't be able to sweep this under the rug any longer.

Is it sad that a majority of videos made by Youtube nowadays has more dislikes than likes on their own site?

I just remembered a post I made where Youtube should stop messing up and I was apparently wrong. Youtube should have simply tell the truth, instead of denying it. They are claiming nothing is wrong yet there is already a whole bunch of evidence proving them wrong. I'm already wondering what Youtube is going to do next to piss everyone off.

it kind of is, but it's basically what happens when YouTube disregards the problems that people have been bringing up as callously as it did with this video

it honestly reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg denying the fake news epidemic on Facebook, only to be called out by Facebook employees who stated that they had been working on the issue for months. In both cases it's the website's representatives willingly turn a blind eye to the elephant in the room for mere convenience instead of offering any statements of reassurance that the sites are working on fixing the problems.

It's no surprise to say YouTube is incompetent. I just wish they'd prove me wrong for once. It's like if you can think of anything larger than a minor decision, they'd screw it up.

This is so simple to handle, too. "We know there's a problem and we've been looking into it. We've had some trouble finding why, but we're still on it!" That's it! That's all you need!

While I borderline agree…
I don't know which is much worse: the ratings and comments are disabled meaning that it could mean it's censorship OR the ratings was so negative other people thought that the majority are just frickin' aggressive when reacting.
