Not being funny, but there are plenty of western countries that don't go around censoring this stuff. There's one massive leader in it.

Ironically the same county that doesn’t see an issue with guns and graphic violence. I’ll never understand how a nipple is more offensive than shooting someone.

It's all the fault of those damn Puritans: people who were such sticks in the mud they were essentially kicked out of Europe because nobody wanted to hear their prudish nonsense. They were all about the "fire & brimstone".

You'd think a non-white non-American female engineer not afraid of self-expression and her own sexuality would be a darling given the big talk of diversity and inclusion, but in the end she gets rejected because her boobs are too big for America to handle. It's comical.

IMO the real point here is that many content creators/streamers want to have their cake and eat it too. On the one hand they want to be classified as family-friendly so they can target their content to children, which is the audience with the highest advertising margins and merchandising opportunities. On the other hand they want to push a sexual image to gain increased views.

Most would agree that pushing sexualized content onto 13 year old deliberately is unethical.

You see the same tug of war battle happening on Twitch.tv with the constant rise of some exotic-like content (hot tub streaming, boob "ASMR", etc.) followed eventually by some token bans so that Amazon can make it look like they aren't willingly promoting that content.

"She pretends to be some women's rights activist" I'm a mainland Chinese citizen with a high profile on Western Social Media, I can assure you I work very hard to make sure no one confuses me as a women's rights activist. Particularly not these days. "Yes the algorithm is capricious," Not the algorithm- all human moderation.

What I don't get is how in year 2022, having landed on the moon and tricked silicon into computing for us, we as a western civilization still haven't come to terms with our own bodies, other peoples' bodies, the fact that we have a sex drive, the fact that we can and do have sex for pleasure and punish ourselves for all of these things. It's insane.

>Why not just have an Only Fans, weekly photo video sets, and a decent copywriter and make 10x as much money? Why go through all this work? I mean, I cant help but agree that you're being a little dishonest here. Without passing judgement on whether what you're doing is right or wrong, a quick glance through the Twitter link in the OP and its quite obvious that you are well endowed and using it to your advantage by w…

The amount of downvotes you got for this comment is IMO a part of the issue and undeserved. Gender and sex aren't taboo topics, and pointing out that someone might or might not use their attractiveness to their advantage is part of the discussion and totally reasonable to do, without having to start with "what is sexist", "what is male oppression", "what is sexual discrimination against woman" etc. We're all driven by instinct, and sex is part of that. If someone is presented attractive, they will (usually) get more views, which is also why attractive people are used as models

She herself commented in a different reply and agreed to some of the points, yet this comment is getting downvoted to hell

(Disclaimer that I don't know Naomi Wu and have never seen a video of hers. I'm replying based on the context of the OP link and reading through replies)

Youtube Alternatives : Centralized : Dailymotion, Bitchute, Rumble, DTube, Vimeo, Vidlii, DLive, Triller Decentralized : Odysee(LBRY), Peertube

awesome ..1/1000 the traffic. no viralness, no recommendations, or discovery, no rev., needing to use 10+ platforms to equal 1/100 the traffic of YouTube

Also your content will likely be sandwiched between a bunch of racist and extremist content.
