And then they remove it again . Calling it now
W Youtube since i dont need tiktok to dm
Jep…this definitely won’t be used by bad actors
This would be cool,as long as it does not end bad with things like predators or fully spam
I'm excited
With YouTube's "freedom of speech"? Hell nah, it's completely useless.
I don't think its that bad to me
Yayyyyyy6 🎉🎉
they might aswell add dislikes back
WAIT so will they add reposts?
Say hello to youtube pedophiles
i was like yay and then i was like "f**k" because i my old discord friends will message me
hell yeah! I can't believe it's back again. it's been ages since it was removed
I had no idea they were ever gone. I've thought DMs existed the whole time
I PREDICTED IT! I SAID IN FEBRUARY THAT YT IS GONNA ADD IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND I GOT IT RIGHT!
I see this doing well with certain groups of creators
Streamers with their mods
Companies like glitch or man on the internet
Group channels
Highly interactive channels
Arg channels
Art channels for commissions (just commissions in general so it doesn't have to be just art channels)
Va channels for ease of contact (although it's best to go through proper channels)
And more
This is gonna be so sick!
This is the third time their adding this feature lmfao. I guess we’ll have it for a couple of years before they remove it again.
Now we gotta pray that yt wouldn't ask to age verify before implementing
oh God I don't want bots to send butt photos to me…
YouTube deserves the award for the "Company with the WORST ever ideas"
How about we get a livestream chat update? Make the moderation role actually useful, if you didn't know mods on YouTube can't even pin a chat or even start a poll! Colored chatter names and VIP roles!! How about auto segmented stream by topic when you change between games like twitch does it?
This just stuff I'd like to see and actually need for my own use case, I'm sure there are other useful features they can add like a better community tab, pinning channel posts and being able to add videos to them… I'm sure you can point out to many useful features they can implement, but YouTube would rather add useless or terrible ones and remove ones that are very important like dislikes, terrible UI choices etc.
this could lead to SO much harassment like it could lead to offenders messaging minors
Back when YouTube was RED
Finally it's back!
OMFG WHAT
I miss when youtube was red 😢
Am I the only one who never knew YouTube used to have dms? 😭
I remember that back on my old account
Wow
I loved that feature actually
It was easier to send youtube videos to your loved ones
I was upset when they disallowed it but now there is chance of it coming baxk
