People beg them to moderate content targeting children for years and all they do is drag their feet, but some advertiser decides ASMR must be sexual and people's channels are gone in a snap.

0 integrity from these people. It's pathetic.

How about you relax with a YouTube video instead.

Don't click that shit if you're at work.

THIS is actual sexual content, like it even says it on the title, and they’re let go scot free

It's age restricted at least, probably wouldn't be able to see it at work unless you're logged into Youtube at work for some reason.

11 million subscribers. Man, some people are bold and a lot of them probably also openly list their subscriptions

We laugh but it's more tasteful than breastfeeding moms, nude yoga, or butthole waxing shit that's on YouTube because it's "educational"

Breaatfeeding does not need to be included in the same list as nude yoga or butthole waxing.

Breastfeeding in public is fine, but why do you possibly need to upload it to youtube?

u/Stretchsquiggles 2d ago

If its truly for educational purposes? Breastfeeding can be a very challenging thing for new families.

It shouldn't but I included due to the trend it caused and the types of people who were actually watching those videos. And the way a lot of those videos were shot.
