1. Replace the 15 seconds with 1 minute (I have personally made very "long" shorts) 2. I'm not sure about the Shorts Camera (still in selective beta), but I do know that anyone, anywhere can upload, with the regular method (has to be vertical), and everyone on mobile has access to the shorts, so maybe add that too Sorry, I've never suggested edits before, so I don't quite know how. 66.99.209.50 (talk) 13:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

  Not done for now: We need to have reliable sources for the time limits, we can't use personal experience. The sourcing now specifies the 15 second time frame. As for suggesting edits we prefer that you provide the exact text you'd like to add, remove or change, along with the sourcing. It makes it easier for us volunteers who go around trying to answer all of these requests. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:08, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
I was able to find Reliable Sourcing to suggest that they may be up to a minute long and have added that content to the article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:52, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
I found google's official support page on the topic. It says, "To make your Short longer than 15 seconds, tap 15s above the record button to record up to 60 seconds (60s). Note: Recording with music from our library is limited to 15 seconds." 66.99.209.50 (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Oh, that source disagrees with WP:NOTHOWTO found another one: "The feature allows creators to record, edit and share short-form video content that’s 60 seconds or less in length." 66.99.209.50 (talk) 13:07, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
66.99.209.50: the 60 second time limit is currently in the article. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Ok I dont know where else to suggest this but there is a highly educative and critically loved channel named Kids Learning Tube that posts really good content and recently got to 1M subscribers, please make a page for them. 106.201.87.193 (talk) 07:14, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. New articles can be requested at Wiki: Requested articles. But we can only write an article if independent reliable sources have written about the subject, as described at Wiki: Notability. That doesn't seem to be the case for this channel yet. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 11:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Channels -- I put this first because it's what caused me to create this comment. Up until now (for years), I've only looked at YouTube to find videos on specific topics or items. I've heard the term YouTube Channel a lot, without really knowing what the term, or just Channel in a YouTube context, means. I looked at this article for info on that and, at this moment, I still don't really know, and I'm not having an easy time finding out. This article seems to assume previous knowledge in the reader about that. With that established, I'll point out that the first use of the term "channel" in this article is currently in the second para of the lead section, where it says, "[...] have created and expanded their corporate YouTube channels", which is pretty mysterious to a reader who doesn't know what a YouTube Channel is.

WP:LEAD -- I mentioned this above without linking it. This article seems out of tune with that WP guideline. Quoting from there: "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." -- this article's lead section seems not to fit that. All after the opening paragraph seems more suited as an intro to the History section.

Just a quick comment in passing. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 11:19, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm going to quick fail this nomination because it doesn't look like the nominator is a major contributor to the article nor did they consult on the talk page before opening the nomination, contrary to GAN instructions. Other issues with the article include WP:PROSELINE, sourcing (cites blogs, unreliable sources such as Metro), and length (likely needs more aggressive use of WP:SUMMARYSTYLE to meet GA criterion 3b and reduce the length from an excessive 13212 words).

A topic called 'YouTube alogritm' should be added with proper information about the alogritm. Lalala27 (talk) 17:02, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

If you have reliable sources talking about it, you can add it in. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
My text search shows 20 instances of the word "algorithm" in the existing article. Many instances are in the "Moderation and offensive content" section. Given this existing content, I don't think that a separate section is warranted; but if it is, there is additional explanation in Social impact of YouTube which, similarly, is distributed throughout the article. Upon further reflection, I think a standalone article, collecting this content in one place, may be warranted: YouTube recommendation alogrithm. —RCraig09 (talk) 18:35, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Theres no mention at all about how much and what scale creators are paid. This is the most basic of information. 2600:1700:7890:5A40:E56A:373:C31F:4CF2 (talk) 02:03, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

The first sentence might better read like this:

YouTube is an American online video sharing, video archive, and social media platform owned by Google.72.174.131.123 (talk) 23:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I think this subtopic is WP:UNDUE at the moment in the history section. YouTube is a huge topic. It can be found in the news in reliable sources nearly every day so some editorial judgement about what we're going to cover is required - simply pointing to coverage in an RS is not sufficient to justify inclusion on that basis alone. Does a sentence, or two, about how YouTube has handled COVID belong in the article? Yes though I would suggest one of those sentences should be about how it handled its employees rather than just video content. Should information about how it handles misinformation be covered? Again I would say yes but under Videos (which has several other parts that are covered in too much detail at this point) rather than History. Thoughts from others? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:23, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I know that when I first added something about the COVID-19 handling, I had it under content moderation, and not history. I don't know when it was moved to history, but I do think its out of place in the history section, its still about content moderation. But I don't think its UNDUE, these changes (COVID, then all vaccine info, and now climate change) have received significant attention in media. --Masem (t) 22:30, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Ms. Southern uses the acronym "SJW" without defining it. Not familiar with the term oh, I had to look it up.

So, making it a hyperlink would be handy.

Thanks, Austin, TX user 107.216.47.60 (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

I can't find an instance of "SJW" in this article. Did you perhaps mean a different article? Schazjmd (talk) 22:31, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

It says that Google is the most visited website Google is a search engine not a website also YouTube is Google how can you say that YouTube is the second most visited website no it isn’t it’s so cringe worthy how much stuff is still wrong on Wikipedia and you put blocks on certain pages so people cannot edit I don’t understand why it’s so frustrating when I change some thing and it gets changed back to the wrong thing again Google is NOT a website… 2607:FEA8:4567:8B00:4DCB:DA8E:200D:31BE (talk) 20:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

In the censorship section, it says the Pakistani ban is still in operation as of 2013. I am requesting for that to be removed.

I noticed that "Still D.R.E.", despite being added to YouTube in 2011, has crisp (sharp) visuals. Under the video, it says "REMASTERED IN HD!! CELEBRATING ONE BILLION VIEWS!!". Indeed, quality can be set all the way to 1080p. I then decided to search for articles on YouTube allowing publishers to improve already-available videos. And, yes, apparently, they occasionally do allow this now. Reliable sources are available. Articles at The New York Times ([1]), NME ([2]), and TechCrunch ([3]), among others. If someone who reads this thinks this information could be added to the article, go for it. --77.162.8.57 (talk) 09:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

This article apparently used to have a section on demonetization (https://www.duhoctrungquoc.vn/wiki/en/YouTube#Restricted_monetization_policies , which was linked to from the Demonetization DAB page). I'm not sure when it went away, but it seems like relevant information that ought to have its own section? Bookgrrl ^holler/lookee here 01:13, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Added a section to address content of YouTube, as its own topic. --Sm8900 (talk) 16:26, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm concerned that this takes up a lot of space explaining what the site is about, leading to problems with WP:NOTMANUAL. There are videos about virtually any subject on YouTube and listing them is not very encyclopedic and reads like a press release.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:22, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, but I disagree. With respect, your comment above does not take note of the basic purpose of that section. I was not cataloging the types of videos at YouTube. And I did not mention the topics of the videos at all. I noted the types of videos, based on the types of organizations who produce them; I was noting and documenting the societal role and impact of Youtube, as a major venue and resource for highly significant publications, networks, news outlets, organizations, corporations and artists within our society. that is far from merely cataloging the contents of Youtube itself.

I will wait a bit before restoring the material, in order to permit the discussion to develop. i hope that my comments are of some help in helping to address this issue. thanks for your comment. --Sm8900 (talk) 20:35, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

The topics covered in the article should be ones that have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Simply listing types of video that are available on the site is never going to lead to an exhaustive list. I was also concerned about the opening paragraph in this edit as it reads like part of a school essay rather than encyclopedic content.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:06, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Ok. I can remove the opening sentences, if that will improve the text of that section. Sm8900 (talk) 13:26, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Slender (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

So in the early days of YouTube, the YT founders struggled to get videos to the site. So, according to this article, they offered attractive women $100 to upload vidoes of themselves to YT. Problem is, I found this article on VICE saying the amount was $20. So which one is it? If the VICE article is the right one i'll change it right away. Klrfl Talk! 11:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't see why both can't be true at the same time, it's possible VICE only found traces of ads that advertised $20 while the video linked as a source in the article found ones advertising $100. Might be worth it to put it as a range? "Offered from $20 to $100 to upload videos," for example. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 12:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

The introduction to this article seems slightly informal, quoting- "Owned by Google, it is the second most visited website, right after Google itself." Would the grammatically correct paraphrase not use the word 'preceding' instead of right after... ? Cltjames (talk) 16:42, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
