Word of Warning About the Youtube Application for IOS

[ihatebeingsingle]

So the other day I'm using my ipad to watch youtube videos. I'm using the trusty Youtube IOS Application from the itunes store. It's the basic official app. I made a touch on a video of mine for too long, I let go, and before I knew it I had just deleted my Channel Trailer video. Boom! With one click it was deleted forever! No "are you sure?" or "click yes to proceed" dummy check. It was permanent and immediate.
So listen to me and be careful on your IOS devices! The sad thing is that I knew it was a potential danger and it still happened. Touch screens... What are ya gonna do?

That's why I don't log into my main channel for video watching I just keep a seperate channel for all my subscriptions so I don't accidently hit anything

Yeah I do exactly the same, plus a dummy account provides a little security/privacy.

I did this before with my most popular video. I dropped it and was going to pick it up and I see that I'm missing a video. At least it got its views back.

Oh gosh! I'm sorry about that!

Thanks guys! I never thought of using a dummy acct mostly because I feel like youtube activity is good for the channel but I guess the best rule is to avoid doing it on mobile.

No it's not your fault. It's a stupid design choice (or lack thereof) on Google's part.
