Sigh... while talented, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers. She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation. Yes the algorithm is capricious, yes its arbitrary, and yes YouTube is evil. But she's clearly making a bust of herself naked. I'm sure if I put my balls on YouTube they'd be more than dem…

What boundaries?As in, who knows (besides the higher ups at youtube, of course) what are the boundaries of the YT TOS?This is the problem with your argument(if you made it, i'm not sure).Nobody knows literally what the boundaries are because they are too vague and YT has clearly a double-standard in both applying it to certain people and letting people know what is allowed.Then again most people, and definitely creators (should) know that YT has stopped being the platform of edgy interesting videos which actually made it explode (especially after 2007).

I will not pretend to care for her for 2 simple reasons: I don't know anything about her, and I don't pity people who dance with YT "anymore"(As in 2014 and later, when Youtube de facto became sh1t, and later in 2016-2017 when this was already established as a way going forward for youtube, resulting in what's known by the masses as "adpocalypse", further censorship post 2016, etc.)

Quoted post unavailable.

And I am only slightly joking.

YouTube is chuck-full of soft porn, so that is obviously not the problem here. Moderation and demonetarization of this sort is done by an (anonymous) human not by an algorithm.

So why is mrs. Sexy controversial? Look at her twitter-profile and see where she is getting the most flak ...

No, the clothing and gender expression predates YouTube and is for other reasons, is usually more conservative when I'm filming for YouTube, and is for myself. I've never worn anything for my audience. >Can we acknowledge that some probably significant proportion of your c…

Yes, it does seem that way. That's on me until I'm willing to offer a more complete explanation.

"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. "she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation" Why not just have an Only Fa…

I don't have a nuanced thought to add. I think it sucks these videos were demonetized and I agree there's something weird going on when 3d bust test prints abound. Sorry you have to fit so hard to get people on the same page

We are not in the 1900s where it's a crime to show a little ankle. Her clothing is nothing out of the ordinary in many videos. If you have big boobs people will notice no matter what you wear, youtube shouldn't act different based on your body... If another youtube would exist…

It's so weird that this is the default response. Again, I'm not making a moral judgement. But the first three tweets in the linked thread: 1. Bare midriff and tiny shorts 2. Deliberately fully exposed cleavage 3. A tiny spaghetti strap Wear whatever you want, but don't be surprised when you get sexual attention, and don't pretend that as a public figure who makes money off of eyeballs that you're not deliberately tak…

>the female figure induces a instinctual physiological and psychological responses in men

Yikes. That's some incestuous ideology. Thankfully, there are many men who do not suffer from such instincts.

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…

My videos are all marked "not for children".
