Pre-authorization charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The last 2 billings I have been charged pre-authorization charges the same amount as my YouTube payment $89.73 twice. This makes my other automatic withdrawals go to a negative balance and I can't use my debit card until the pre-authorization charge has come off.

I have a customer for years and this has never happened. Why?

No customer support; I don't know how to get refunded. I don't know what to do at this point.

The deletion of songs or disabling songs for no reason.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The app sometimes removes songs or prevents them from playing.
  • - Songs can be completely deleted or albums can disappear.
YouTube Music - The deletion of songs or disabling songs for no reason.
YouTube Music - The deletion of songs or disabling songs for no reason. - Image 2

for some reason, this app loves to have the tendency to completely remove songs whether its a big artist or small creator. the removing process could either take form of just not playing this song or just the outright complete deletion of this song and its entirety or even whole albums have been seen missing in my own experience.

User's recommendation: The deletion or process of not playing is completely at random. It doesn’t matter if they’re big or small rap or Lofi music they’ll just completely remove it without your knowledge even if it’s downloaded.

Hello, I am texting about how my playlists on YouTube Music have suddenly disappeared and I can't find them on any of my accounts. I've had them for years, with hundreds of songs that mean something to me, and now they are gone.

I would like to discuss this issue. I'm very confused and worried my songs are now gone.

  • I find music that just came out
Cons:
  • Music playlists are gone

User's recommendation: I don't know what's happening to my app but I hope y'all keep your music.

AI Highlights
  • - An extra $12.83 was charged after I paid the bill.
  • - I do not know what the charge is and need someone to contact me or I may cancel YouTube Music.

I would like to know why they charged my card an extra $12.83 when I had just paid the bill. I don't know what the $12.83 is.

I need someone to contact me and let me know what that is for; I cannot afford that. I need a number where I can call someone and talk to them because if it comes out of my account next month, then I will cancel YouTube Music because I can't afford that.
