Hi everyone.
An update! I sent the appeals for the shadowbans the other day, right?
And today, I received devastating updates.
They upgraded the shadowbans... to demonetization.
When a video gets shadowbanned or demonetized, the reach of that video suddenly flatlines, and Youtube does not recommend the video as much to people anymore. According to some accounts from other creators and YT managers, this will impact the overall reach of your channel, and from my own experimentation, your future uploads too.
I expect more and more of my videos to be demonetized. I sent multiple separate requests. Currently, they've manually demonetized 9. But there's a huge risk they demonetize the entire channel, or worse, issue strikes and possibly delete my channel without warning.
The videos that got demonetized are:
Awkward Dragon Takes care of you: this is an old video, but literally only the "massage feels good" in thumbnail kinda sound sexually enticing but... it's REACHING FAR. I re-uploaded this video in a later date with the same content but different text, and the re-upload is still green to this day... The original remained demonetized.
Shy Succubus 1: idk if you guys still remember the script, but this shy succubus is basically just trying the USUAL PICKUP LINES. and failing at it!! there's a fade to black in the end on what happens next but it wasn't explicitly stated!
Maid's First Night: Just the title alone is slightly suggestive. content itself is just comforting voice RP with some relaxing triggers.
Yandere Mechanic: i wasn't even graphic with how i went into opening the listener's head. only said something about using tools and you having to endure the pain and whatnot. but nothing graphic. I don't know why they demonetized this.
Lonely neighbor 1: This audio has zero sexual elements in it. Only baby kisses as triggers. They're not romantic at all!
lonely housewife 2: it's just "please come inside". the conversation is more a friendly slightly NTR-y taboo-y about inviting a friend inside a married woman's house... but the massage is platonic af. there's no dirty talking
Woman at the bar: ok, there's "body count" mentions but like??? how prude must you be to count that as NSFW??? it's kind of double entendre but like..??? its so HARMLESS?
Booked in same hotel room: ...sure romantic undertones... but... there's no actual sex or foreplay? just a woman being upfront about having feelings for her coworker too?
I'll continue making audios, but I'm not sure how I'd approach Youtube anymore.
Even non-sexual ASMRs are getting demonetized and warned...
Sorry. I know you pledged to get comforted and enjoy more of my sultry voice. Believe me, that's what I want to do more of for you (and I hope you enjoyed the recent Lonely Housewife 3 & 4!), but I feel defeated by Youtube like this...
