    Why keep changing? Can't you just leave well enough alone?

    There is some promoted content that I don't wish to be exposed to, I wish there was a way for us to select from a list of categories which promoted material we are likely to watch. If youtube is going to target me with unsolicited material, for
    you and your customers sake, enhance the chance of it being something I will click on.

    Dead are the days of unsolicited advertising, sure it is effective but it's as beautiful and intelligent as carpet-bombing.

    There are some more important issues - such as why most of mine and my friends videos don't reach the inbox of a majority of our subscribers..

    Way to hit the big problems... You can't go anywhere on this site without hearing complaints that 'spotlight' would sound better than 'featured'! Which btw, it doesn't.

    Also love the line, "Our search advertising programme is about helping anyone promote their videos to a larger audience on YouTube (right now this is only available in the U.S.)."

    Shame for those of us outside the U.S. who aren't anyone.

    I have had it with you, you-tube and your stupid games. You only ever seem to make changes that no one really gives a crap about, and cause more problems to add to the ones that we are having and you are not fixing.

    The very least you could do is inform us of these changes before hand, instead of putting them on this comment page, where people only go to in order to go mad at you, and don’t read the daft and vague description at the top of the page. (‘_’)

    Wise was the man who said "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
    Foolish is the man who doesn't heed the wise man's advice.

    Oh, by the way, I am among many users who disapprove of the other changes you have planned. Might I remind you that YouTube is "YouTube: Broadcast Yourself", not "YouTube: Broadcast Videos by big companies and ignore small users like myself and millions others"?

    I've been a victim of not being able to watch a video because I just so happen to be based in the USA several times already and I no doubt will continue for much longer. Why not just ban all the not-USA-based channels if we can't watch your videos.

    Lastly, If I see a DRM-restricted video or worse, a video I have to pay for, I am out of here.

    Please somebody, I am begging you...please remove that Skins: Kiss picture from the Featured Videos section. It's been there for many weeks now. I come from a decent family home where that picture causes offence, and I have been getting into a lot of trouble just because I visit the Youtube website. I use this website for many useful purposes including viewing hundreds of political clips for my work. I am not a perv; I am a scholar and I am sick of being shouted at for something I didn't put on the screen.

    I agree, when I'm logged in it's fine and I don't get it. But if say I'm on my other laptop it ALWAYS comes up, and it is so annoying.
