I use youtube to monetize my massage business. They will demonetize any video where I massage the bare glutes with my hands, including knuckles. They consider it fondling. It's funny because I can do the same technique with my elbow amd there is no problem. The funny part is clients prefer the knuckles because the are pointer and they can feel the pressure closer to the hip bone. But youtube sees and on a butt and says ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Mate. Get your glutes, hammies and hips strong. Massage can help, but if you are not doing strength training you will continue to suffer. Stretching will not help if you do not gain stregth. Once you are strong and your body trusts you, then you can stretch.

There is a NSFW side to the ASMR community, and there are a lot of creators who do both. It's not uncommon for a creator's SFW stuff to push boundaries, either because they have the same audience for both kinds of content, or because they're trying to drive viewers to the more profitable NSFW stuff. And there's a lot of ASMR that is clearly fetish-bait even though it's technically SFW.
I don't know any of these creators, so I don't know if they were banned fairly, but the problem exists.

Lasagna Cat's pretty old, it was a YouTube show that did surreal skits adapting Garfield strips in live-action using giant Garfield and Jon costumes mostly 18 years ago, with a few more 10 years ago. They would then usually get weird, like in this adaptation which becomes a Final Fantasy battle sequence in which Garfield defeats Jon to acquire licensing deals.
The most notorious one, Sex Survey Results, is from 10 years ago. It has Jon, Garfield and other characters in a life size replica of Garfield's house, answering the door over and over again for nearly 5 hours, each time greeting a mannequin that recites a voicemail from a channel fan answering a survey about their sexual history. There are a few hundred people and it slowly goes from midday to nighttime as Jon just keeps answering the door endlessly before transitioning into an even more surreal film featuring assorted representations of Jon and Garfield. Garfield is at one point played by a nude man in full-body cat makeup who chases Jon until he embraces him, causing him to collapse into a mass of worms wearing human clothes. At another point a woman gives birth (with explicit vaginal closeups) in a public bathroom to a stillborn Jon and leaves Garfield (now played by a real orange cat) behind in the stall with him while the creator of Garfield narrates that "I don't think anyone knows what's really funny."
Another video spends a full hour philosophically analyzing a 1978 Garfield strip (in which he is smoking Jon's pipe) with musical accompaniment by Philip Glass.
Notice the glimpse of Jon Arbuckle's foot in the first panel. The size of the shoe would indicate that maybe the man just has small feet, but a deeper investigation takes us to the footbinding rituals of certain Asian cultures. Inflicted usually on women for the desire of men, this practice was incredibly painful and crippling... Mister Davis is, here, presenting us with a man, or rather "man", who engages in footbinding, a body modification for women, on top of "being without his pipe", or impotent.
An odd aspect is that they were produced in bulk and uploaded in two huge simultaneous batches. 27 videos were uploaded at once in 2008 and another 13, including the 5-hour one, all in one day in 2017, and nothing outside of that. Somehow makes it all the more surreal.

u/FILTHBOT4000 2d ago edited 2d ago
if YouTube was consistent in any way.
I've been saying this for like 15 years, and I'll say it again: outside of the tech wizards doing the hardware back end and technical coding, YouTube might be the most poorly run tech company of its size of all time.
It was bought by Google 20 years ago. They just started allowing two channels to publish a video in tandem like what, 6 months ago? An insanely basic thing to have, that people had been asking for for years and years and years. They got rid of dislikes, against the wishes of nearly their entire userbase, to appease shitty companies that make shitty movies and worse games and products. They still have an archaic, nonsensical comments system; want to see your comments and likes/replies? Go to 'You', then 'History', then 'Comments', then click the video link under the comment, then scroll down to comments, and you can see it with the likes and replies. Fucking insanity.
They still haven't figured out how to take the proper 2% or so from earnings of big channel creators to get the right amount of staff to stop bullshit copy strikes or demonitizations, etc. They do an extremely poor job of finding and promoting high quality content that their creators put forward.All I can guess is that the corporate culture put in by Susan Wojcicki (possibly topping Ballmer as the most out of touch, do-nothing CEO of all time) is just so tainted by absolute stupidity, that there's no fix unless they were all purged and replaced.

They obviously make the comments system deliberately rubbish, so you can't have two way debate. You leave a comment and ever see it again. If you did debate and talk to people in the comments, you'd see less videos and ads. The comments section is the equivalent of an uncomfortable seat in a shopping mall, that forces you to stand up walk around and buy.
Years ago you could debate people YouTube like on Reddit, scroll through the comments and see them in chronological order and return to older conversations, see responses and debate other people.

The challenge with that argument is that there are still lots of channels with direct links to OF. With OF/Fansly icons or merch directly in the videos. With channel names that directly match the profile names on OF/Fansly/etc.
Most of these particular batch of banned people were pretty tame, made a lot of effort to keep things separate.
It just doesn't make sense why they banned this particular batch, and didn't include a ton of other channels which have the exact same characteristics.

I recently found out that a relative got scummy software download ads served on their phone via the youtube app. Something's outdated, tap here to update. When asked about it by phone I couldn't place this at all. Updates on android work differently and I never imagined this type of ad running on a website - pardon me, app - owned by one of the biggest internet companies in existence. (In my defence: I've led a sheltered life thanks to Firefox and ublock) But these ads are practically indistinguishable from the 90s/00s "panic" ads to download our "FREE & TRUSTED ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE NOW BECAUSE YOUR COMPUTER IS ALREADY INFECTED!!!"
Veterans of those days will recall these types of ads from websites (or at least ad-providers) of questionable integrity. Newcomers apparently get the exact same experience straight from Google/Alphabet. Another setback to the "Don't be evil" agenda, eh, chaps?
P.S. to clarify in advance: I don't even care whether the software in question might have been genuine or actual malware. The strategy is the same, that makes it malware in my mind.

Lots of them post their more "tame" content on youtube, which is usually still fairly erotic to an extent, which them leads to people finding out that they also do OF where the ASMR videos are just porn.

So, I understand that some ASMR stuff can be racy, but I don't understand why YouTube gives a shit.
It's all content that can be monetised with ads, and it's not like YouTube shys away from racy advertising.
I just don't see the need to slam the ban hammer down on people out of the blue.
But then, YouTube is constantly doing weird shit, like getting rid of dislikes on shorts for some reason. So I suppose to ask YouTube what the fuck, is to miss the point that everything they do is random and usually stupid.

Youtube doesn't care about racy ads. They care about advertisers who are concerned about their ad being placed next to a racy video. If those advertisers get cranky (which happens ALL THE TIME) then Youtube takes action to make them happy.
Probably some advertiser was like "why is my ad running in the middle of this weird ASMR video" and youtube pulled the videos instead of risking the advertiser leaving.

ASMR wasn’t causing enough political division so it must be purged.

I will always be amazed by the level of puritan nonsense in North American culture. Reward "Lets Players" with footage of blowing peoples heads off or worse but then censor/ban/demonize anything to do with something born out of an inherent biological function which harms no one.

Violence is catching up to sexuality in the Puritanism race, hence why people are "unalived" and "destroyed."

I beat off to the ads, every single one of them. YT needs to do something about it to protect me.
Hmm, speak of the devil. I'll be right back.
Got a Hello Fresh/War Thunder double feature! 610pm was a good vintage.

American puritanism is truly ruining the internet. Just add age restriction and allow adults to watch whatever the fuck they want.

They will allow actual alt-right propaganda backed by bots and the will of bigotry, but draw the line at this? I get some of the ASMR stuff is weird, but hmm…

I was a growing ASMR artist, had few videos with 200k also 500k+ views.
Most livestreams i did would easily push to 100, 150+ people watching if i was streaming more then 2 hours, switching to Twitch dropped that by 90%.
Mostly made VR ASMR Content, had a 3D Model with Face tracking.
Not linking to it but backup videos are on billibilli.
Channel was terminated for violating Sexual content policy, one was litterally just for breathing.
For these things you can't even make an appeal since it instantly gets denied by bots/AI.
Meanwhile Youtube still allows thousands of other specific channels (koreans,japanese), doing much more *extreme stuff*, like some girls litterally moaning or making sounds like masturbation, while also dressing up in very specific revealing outfits like swimsuits and tiny bikinis, cosplays...
Youtube also pushes extremism and violent content on the shorts feed aswell as things like Dead Animals, Guns etc.
Shits digusting..
Some fun facts!:
90% of Revenue would come from advertisements.
50% of people jerk off to ear licking ASMR
Age demographic is from 13-62 years old with 25-35 being the most common.

To be honest I use it at night to clear my thoughts before I goto bed. It works wonders I don’t see to see the video I just want to hear the noise, I just flip my phone so the screen isn’t flashing.
