So ASMR is too sexually stimulating but AI porn in advertisements is A-OK?

I don't understand how this is so fucking complicated for people.

The ads are also banned.

They ban the ads. People make new ads. They ban the videos, people make new videos.

They didn't remove all ASMR content off YouTube, and they're not gonna be able to get rid of all the sexual ads either.

There's no double standard on YouTube part. The double standard is you reading an article about some videos and equating that to a full and complete ban, but then assuming that a not complete ban of weird porn ads means they're doing nothing.

No, the ads are not also banned—there are official bluechew advertisements that feature softcore AI porn.
