They partnered Johnny B the animal abuser

They partnered with an animal abuser who uses his goats to get likes but is unable to take basic care of them. As a result, two goats have died as a result of his neglect, and he continues to buy more to show them on stream despite living in a tiny, mold infested house with no space for them to roam.

Bullies

The YouNow users who broadcast are complete bullies! I just come onto here expecting to find some good friends. DId I get what I was looking for? No. Instead, I get people who want to only make money and once you are at a point where you do not gift or sub or like or anything, they just block you. Complete waste of time. I would highly recommend twitch.tv or YouTube.com. Those 2 are actually good streaming platforms.

fraudulant traffic, virtual gift exploits

Quite bad, younow uses bots and shady tactices to manipulate and scew traffic. partners turn into bullies, and younow ignores reports. they care about money and them printing virutal money, gift events set for greed amounts. money spent doesnt matter as biggest level partners are like Only_grass, the nighmare child gooners, use gold exploits to send Millions of fraudulent gifts. Doesnt care about the community, just our money.

Younow is absolute garbage

Do not waste your money or time on it. The top streamers are bullies and try to force smaller streamers into doing what they want. Specifically two that come to mind Ryan Steele and Tom. These two guys are abusive and manipulate the entire website. Lately they've been picking on an elderly streamer named JohnnyB, and are trying to bully him into submission. It breaks my heart to see JohnnyB tear up because these punks are harassing him on a regular basis. The Younow moderators do nothing. They play favorites and allow it to go on. Younow will also suspend and ban your account and steal your money for non valid reasons. If you just criticize or voice an opinion about how the site is managed, they will ban you. If I didn't know any better I'd think the site was run by Kim Jong-un.

An avid user for 6+ years

An avid user for 6+ years. Last month I logged over 200 hours on their site. This month i made the decision to start spending a little on the site.

Sure enough, as soon as I spent money on the site to obtain their virtual currency, they permanently banned me for no reason whatsoever.

Glad I decided to support them. Glad my mental health is now going to decline again because I've now lost my daily viewers/friends in the only distraction I've found that helps.

FCK YOU YOUNOW, you're a piece of shiiiit company, and I hope someone puts a bomb in your building.

The company don't care about looking…

The company don't care about looking after their users, I've spent thousands on the site and made 1 mistake, which I promptly tried to rectify and tried to resolve with them, they ignore your emails and just ban you not even thinking about how they could potentially make more profit from their users, customer service is a big fat "0", they take your money and if you make a mistake and go out of your way to rectify it costing 1000's to make things right they don't even care. The way they behave has actually affected my mental health with their rudeness, abruptness and lack of sympathy or empathy, their admin team should go on a customer service course and they should have an audit and quality checks to make sure the way they behave doesn't affect people's mental health.

13+ it's not even safe for adults!!

Why on earth are you not putting the age limit up!? This is no way safe for some adults, let alone a 13year old!
I just witnessed a man ejaculating on a live! Sort it out! Or I'm going to have to find whatever way I can to let this be known publicly so people know!

If I could give 0 stars

If I could give 0 stars, I absolutely would. This app allows stalkers, people who put HEXES on people, yes you read that right. There are people on this app who endanger others, pedophiles, and anything else creepy you could think of. This app gives more of a fk that someone has said racial slurs, or their political views, than the fact that someone can make multiple accounts, after being blocked and find their way back into the stream they've blocked. Because of this app, I know someone who has been possessed for nearly 3 months, because of a literal CULT on this app. You try telling younow and they could care less. They care nothing about their partners or streamers, which by the way, we don't make any bit of money and now with their new update, it's much harder. I am suing this app for everything they have! Do not mess around with this app, there are creeps who get off of people sleeping, there are cults, and everything possible that's creepy and beyond vile. They can send you emails about pride and trust and safety but they actually don't care about TRUST AND SAFETY!

UPDATE: GET OFF THIS PLATFORM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! THIS IS A TRAFFICKING PLATFORM AND A DARK WEB PLATFORM WHERE DARK WEB USERS LINGER

Been using YouNow for a few years

Been using YouNow for a few years, and it used to be a brilliant platform for people like me (musicians) to showcase their abilities to the world.
Gradually the serious musicians disappeared as nobody watched their streams, and instead, it seemed to be 13-15 year old girls strumming a uke badly who were getting hundreds of viewers.
And so it became apparent to me that the viewers were all older pervy men, giving them likes and trying to get them to be more flirty to satisfy their own desires.
Nowadays YouNow is basically a ghost town of weirdo's with people streaming themselves asleep for hours, and getting 15 people watching them, creepy as hell.
The owners and moderators of the site have killed it, where other sites such as Twich have taken off bigtime.
