Not necessarily a bad actor. Google is crawling the entire web and the fact that it detected the same clip on something it 'knows' is a fetish site is enough to give it a reason to flag it. The main motive behind this all is advertisers who don't want their ads shown on 'adult' content. YT has been getting squeezed for ad revenue of late and they are going to jump through whatever hoops they can to keep the advertisers using their platform.
This is the most sensical comment yet. It's all algorithms. There's no humans involved.
Basing any sort of business on YouTube is a bad idea, fetish is the worst idea, though.
The key? Build your own website. Don't use Squarespace or anything like that as you'll run into the same issues. But make something that is the destination rather than solely relying on social websites is the way forward.
It's unfortunate that we need to use mainstream sites to drive more people to us. OnlyFans would be perfect if it had a main feed where you could just browse different posts, but it's not set up for browsing so users can't go looking for a particular kind of content. And it's also at the mercy of the credit card companies, so it's really difficult to use without getting flagged and your post removed unless you use very vague terms and jump through hoops.
If we could build an adult social media site that acted exactly like Instagram, that might be a lucrative thing to consider...
It drives me crazy how they keep throwing an age-gate on the trailer for "Plasma Pies" despite that being one of the least openly-sexual clips I sell. I show that one to vanilla people just for the slapstick.
That is my correct patreon, and yes, I did just make a new youtube channel called TFC Productions. Also.... I have another dead one called The Fet Couple. All in all I have made three different youtube channels, and i rotate between the three as at any given time, two of them are cancelled by YouTube.
Current Solution: Even the mass email platforms have a problem with us. And I can't send the emails manually. However, I am skirting by with mailerlite.... for now.... I also made another YouTube channel. I figure it's like owning three BMWs. If one is in the shop and the other is broken down, at any given point, one of the BMWs will be running.

When you are, year after year, doing everything you can to keep the "agents" (corporations, society, lawmakers) from telling you what you can and cannot do for a living, you go through a LOT of names and you fail at a LOT of start ups. I have a freaking cemetery of defunct social medias, channels, links etc. Here is my official newsletter signup: https://subscribepage.io/tfcemails
