    Seeing this post for the second time and thinking about it more it gave me a really uncomfortable feeling about how men are defining sexuality in women, taking away that agency of the women themselves. It’s very invasive it makes me so uncomfortable.

    Obviously this has been happening all throughout history, and it’s already normalised that men obsess over women who are visible in media to the point that they stalk and harass them, because they perceive the visibility of these women as a sort of sexual invitation. But the largest social media platform taking away the livelihood of these women and saying their voice is sexual, when the content is intended for general comfort feels worse somehow. It just made me realise how uncomfortably close we are to a society that finds just the existence women already sexual, in combination with capitalism that would be a horrific reality.

      I think they are getting banned because they are on multiple platforms. That would be consistent with the behavior of social media platforms that also sometimes ban people for mentioning other platforms.

      I’ve also seen some posts recently of creators no longer being allowed to link to other platforms unless they send their ID to YouTube.

    Banning people for being conditiobally attractive. Lovely.

    Hopefully YouTube kills itself and we move to a fediverse peertube where they can’t mass censor leftists.

      Really hope YouTube doesn’t kill itself because it’s full of music and videos that is nowhere else.

      And under a capitalist intellectual property regime, p2p is honestly a really shit idea for the average person.

        My playlists I painstakingly curated over a literal decade are littered with dead links, delisted videos and removed users. It’s already dead for anything that isn’t already available on other platforms

    So far, YouTube creators affected by the wave of bans who’ve spoken publicly about YouTube removing their channels include ItsBunniiASMR, Slight Sounds, Nananightray, Roseasmr, Simoneasmr, and Janina Wilhelmsen

    At least four of them had a direct link to their (erotic) OnlyFans either in the channel’s or videos’ descriptions.
