1. Pewdiepie?
2. Fine bros?
3. Vine (so many vines!)?
4. Vevo?
5. Five nights at freddy's?
6. Google plus (+)?
7. Youtube celebrities?
8. Annoying orange?
9. Other (more things)?
10. All of the above?
 
The elimination of dislike button for comments. Those things you mentioned are just contents, if you dislike them you can ignore them and watch better videos, but you can't outrun the effect of the dislike button no longer functioning. Back then we could dislike comments we don't like, comment that reached minus dislikes will be hidden. Now without them low-quality/ just plain dumb comments are no longer discouraged, which results in the general quality of the comment section plummeting.

Well, the youtube celebrities you mentioned really do brings down the quality of many youtube videos in some way. Pewdiepie and Fine Bros, along with those Vine videos results in tons of copycats, or already existing youtubers to mimics their style.

I don't see Vevo ruining Youtube, all they did is providing a place for artists to distributes their music.

Annoying Orange? Seriously, you're still making a huge deal out of that? I mean that show is already like, 7 years old already.

And yes, Five Night at Freddy's hate. Yeah, how dare those people like that game.

Me: All Pokemon games are all the same. You just go around catching stuff.
Crowd: BOO NOT COOL YOUR OPINION SUCKS GO TO A BAD PLACE FOR SINNERS that we can't say cause it's censored
Other person: All Five Nights at Freddy's games are all the same. You just sit around looking at stuff.
Crows: HALLELUJAH ALLAH AKBAR MAZEL TOV BANZAI PREACH IT
 
Neglect, dumb and unnecessary changes, and sticking up for and punishing the wrong people.
 
Taking down channels and videos for wrong reasons and this has become really unfair and YouTube nedds to fix this problem.
 
All of this copyright crap. Taking down videos and removing entire channels for absolutely no reason. At this point any channel can be terminated and any video can be removed for something stupid. It's been a problem with FOX and Viacom for a while, but now it's becoming broader and there are even worse reasons for this even occurring.
 
Honestly, I don't think that G+ ruined YouTube. It was all that copyright crap that ruined it, because thanks to copyright, videos can be blocked and channels can be removed for an unjustified reason.
 
1. It's no longer regulated by actual human beings, just an automated system.
2. The entire comments section is not organised, lost it's dislike button, and is filled with people less capable than a drunk pop tart. Just a mess.
3. By far it's biggest problem; how easy it is to abuse the copyright system, whether it's those reaction channels, or fake claimants. The fact that YouTube allows fake claims free passes to steal content creator's money is insane. This can be fixed if competent people are hired to manage the community, but, as you can see from the first problem I've mentioned...
4. It's awful "guilty until proven innocent" philosophy, regarding copyright issues.
5. Prioritising views instead of actual video quality (although all business is like this, so I can't blame YouTube on this one. Still kinda sad, though).
6. Not taking care of the community. It's letting prank channels and vine compilation channels post abhorrent content, some of which (especially the prank channels) show these channels having no regards over simple mannerisms, personal space, and humanity as a whole. Disturbing and irritating people, disrupting the peace of society just for views. I'd honestly rather see fake pranks, cause at least I know it's not actually cancerous to real life (although they're still awfully desperate). The lack of control is giving content creators the impression that, as long as you get the views, YouTube won't care if you harass people for your videos. FOR DEM VIEWS, AMIRITE? :DDD

Let's Play video gamers, vloggers, rant & reviews channels, whether you like them or not, aren't the problem. Far from it, they are the sort of people who make YouTube what it is. Pewdiepie might be annoying, but he makes his own content, he doesn't go around town harassing people for views, or putting up false claims to steal other people's money. Just like any other legitimate YouTube celebrities (heck, even The Fine Jews were legitimately good content creators until the money and the fame got way over their heads).

I completely agree with this. I wish that YT could improve its copyright system and maybe have it regulated by humans.
 
I may not be the YouTube aficionado that some of you guys are, but:

*The advertising
*The awful homepage layout (seriously, I just want to see videos from people I follow, not a bunch of "recommended for you" stuff that I don't even want)
*The fact that the comment section isn't disabled yet- seriously, very seldom do discussions stay civil, and it's where I've seen some of the worst racism that I've ever witnessed. Seriously.
*No more personalized channel designs
*Eight words: "This video is not available in your country." What IS that??

So the site is still technically functional; I just think it was a lot better before Google got it.
 
Minecraft gameplays.

Youtube celebrities, all these stuff that makes internet just like TV... -_-

But btw, what makes youtube good, is channels like VetRanch, that help animals with the money they get with views.
Making money with videos is good, but people acting like they are celebrities are just dumb, and makes things not cool.
 
Dislikes on videos, and not being able to see who dislikes your videos, leading to content creators disabling the dislike button.

No need for it, all it does is stir up negativity, much better is Facebook's reaction system
 
And to add on that.....
*The comment section doesn't flag any spammy comments or comments that get too many dislikes anymore. Some of the most ignorant people and trolls post in those comment sections, and I'm surprised that they did not get deleted.
*The homepage layout.
*The new channel layout. I liked it when I used to customize my entire background instead of just having a small amount of channel art.
*The copyright rules are ridiculous, and "This video is not available in your country". Both make me wanna scream, and yell.
*How you now have to have a G+ in order to sign up. I like G+, but it should not have to be required to sign up to YT
*Advertising also sucks here.
 
I'd say the constant layout changes, copyright issues, and google plus accounts to post comments.
 
I disagree with "dislike should be removed because it hurts other's feelings". The like/dislike button is there as a content curator system, it sorts out what video is liked by majority of viewer and what's not. Removing it would only increase the number of spam videos and inflates a lot of people's ego when they're no longer can be criticized. So your video got tons of dislike? Too bad, you should make video that more people will like, not really on handouts from nicer youtube viewers. It hurts your feeling? Oh grow up, the world does not revolves around you.

However, using a system like Facebook's new reaction system is better, as long it also includes negative reactions like "this video angers me", "this video is boring" or "this video offends me"
