Bad App For Minors

I was a producer and broadcaster for 13 years on YouNow, and the last 3 years as a Partner. As of right now YouNow is unfortunately in the worst condition it’s ever been in over the past few years. The staff doesn’t action on bad misconduct and doesn’t care if the minors of the app are exploited sexually on stream by predators, and they also allow minors to use the built in gambling, but when I reported these streams through support and concerns through a post on their page I was permanently banned off the app when I was a partner, without any warning from staff. Edit: Also when I did get ahold of support they pretty much just laughed about the situation, thanked me for my apology about the post, and said it’s a permanent decision as “they’d like to keep their content safe.”

This might be a bug

So I am the right age and I haven’t done anything wrong. I followed all the rules and everything like I’m supposed to, but for some reason it keeps on spending my account and I just keep on making new accounts like I’m not showing anything appropriate. I’m not even showing my camera. My camera is always off or I have the little character and it just always suspend me. And I’m not talking about stuff that I’m not supposed to and I’m the correct age so I don’t know why it’s doing this, but it was fun at first though.

There’s like a bug

So it was really fun, but like other people are Saying it suspended me from a live, but I didn’t even do anything so that really needs to be fixed cause I was having a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to go live forever and I finally get to be able to and then it kicks me out and said I was suspended so like I just really wanted that to be fixed cause I’ve been wanting to go live for a long time. But I’m actually very disappointed because I was actually really excited to go live and I finally had fans start coming in and then it just suspended me.

Banning Problem

This app keeps banning me for just gaming and streaming. It doesn’t even give me reason or a warning. Such awful service period.

Suspended with no warning or reason.

I got on for the first time today at like six pm and I tried to stream and it just said I couldn’t stream on the server and that I had been “suspended” and couldn’t do certain things. I never got a message or warning and I never got a reason why. I have only ever had ONE livestream and it was my very first one YESTERDAY. Nothing went wrong and I was polite and people loved it. Even if it was deserved- which I don’t think it was, but it could be, I never got told why

I got suspended for nothing

It’s good for streaming but it glitched so I closed it down and I went back on it and I got suspended

Suspended for no reason I was live and I got suspended for no reason 1 star

.

Spammers

They keep blowing my phone up, and I don’t like it no more, they text me everyday, and it’s like damn, that’s the only app that’s texting my phone so damn much

Mid three stars

Personally, I like it,and people are nice, people come in quit, and it’s just right for kids.but it’s a three it keeps saying i’m suspended, even though I didn’t do nothing but say hi and play basketball. overall, three stars.

Was great Untill….

I was really enjoying meeting and talking to people…then I got suspended. I’ve never posted or said anything inappropriate. and I can’t figure out how to appeal it.

HATE THIS

Banned me because I did hair asmr

It’s good but..

I’m 13 years old this is a good website like it’s a good app, but I literally got suspended after only three or five minutes of using this app. Please ban me I was falsely banned. 😭🙏
