Too Hot for Prudetube: Solving the Youtube Strike Problem

Hey, Everyone. It's been an ongoing problem for me with posting KO Content these days on Youtube. Years ago, I could post KO Endings with no problems or penalty, but that has obviously changed in recent times. I guess its a combination both of Youtube becoming more censor-happy as well as games becoming more and more realistic. On the one hand, I can't deny that my content is clearly meant for titillation and sexual arousement, even if we don't actually show nudity or sex. On the other though, I have clearly set my vids to be Not for Kids, and yes, I accept that Youtube gives many vids an Adult Rating, which makes them not viewable to younger viewers (I think). I am fine with that, since demonitization is something we address with our Patreon. Theoretically, this would be fine, all is in place for sexy vids to not be readily shown to minors, I accept the penalty for my vids only being seen by those who really want them, and that's that.

However, the problem is the danger of TOS Strikes. Time and again, we've been given these dangerous penalties, and if we get three of these, the channel is done. I lose more than a decade of work, thousands of subs and potential viewers, and the ability to post on the platform. That, of course, is unacceptable. Personally as well, I can live without this kind of stress, dreading each upload may literally be my last. It's insane.

I've been trying recently to edit KO match vids uploads, removing the most naughty parts of KO Endings. So far this seems to work, but the danger is ever present. I can never tell if a KO, despite edits, will still get me a strike. So, I want to try another approach to posting vids on the PrudeTube.

I will post the match, with a shortened version of the KO Ending. The video description will contain a link to the full KO Endings here on Patreon. These endings, of course, are already available for Patrons. This is mainly so we can continue to post match video on PrudeTube safely without endangering the channel.

It's a bit of a roundabout solution, basically making Youtube mainly for the match footage, while the KO content will be stored here (as we've been doing all this time). I've been forced to do this since Odysee has proven to NOT be a viable place to post vids since uploading video requires credits that are exhaustible and- well, I can't stand their system, and the views and sub count is just too low to bother with anymore.

One thing to note here- I will do this for KO matches that I believe may incur a strike due to the hotness of the KO. Some vids/KOs which I believe are 'safe' will be posted as the regular way in the past.

I'll start testing this soon, so I hope it works out. I hope this is a good solution to maintain the channel, provide KO content to viewers on Youtube and hopefully continue growth both on YT and here on Patreon. Stay tuned for the next Barefoot KOs to come then.
