  • My changes

    If I could make any changes to youtube, I would change the fact that you have to have an account to subscribe to people, like and comment videos and I would also take away the dislike button. And I would get rid of ads, or make all of them have a skip option. I would have an option of the YouTubers being able to delete comments that have content that isn't nice.
