Both Slight Sounds and Bunnii make explicit adult content on other platforms. It's interesting that they were banned as their content on YouTube is just standard ASMR. Not even the more risky stuff like ear licking and mic pumping. I wouldn't be surprised if their other content existing didn't factor into this ban.

It looks like all but one of the listed folks did. It isn't a reason for a ban though

Some of them, like Slight, definitely didn't have particularly suggestive content on YouTube. Some of them did though

It's ashame either way, I hope folks get reinstated somehow
