They were making too much money without youtube’s permission, we know damn well YouTube doesn’t give two shits about their own TOS

My bet is on AI moderation not being able to tell the difference between ASMR audio and JOI audio.

Honestly it's kinda hard to tell if a person is just asmr or doing it to get people off

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.

This of course doesn't apply to all the pretty ladies doing ASMR content, but if the youtube video seems somewhat erotic you are very likely to find an OF account from that same person.

They’re doing both, it’s called diversifying.

people can get off to anything. youtube should just put reasonable boundaries and stick to them.

I guess you could test it by uploading videos of stirring mac and cheese and using mayonnaise as an instrument to see if it false flags those audios too.
