So many YT-ers are having this problem I forget what I've said to whom. Apologies if this is a repeat. Channels covering the invasion of Ukraine get dinged for posting material suggestive of ..... (wait for it) ..... war. Naturist sites are dinged to the point many have moved on. All Russian content creators have been demonetized. The problem is that this ALSO includes the pro-Ukraine channels run by Russians who're living in exile.

Patreon and Vimeo seem to have no problem with nudity provided it's blatantly non-sexual. There's a Christian Naturist who has an awful lot of fun bopping around in the buff while debunking the myth that the Bible is 'against' social nudity. His YT vids have silly dots covering the things that scare YT while Vimeo (& maybe Patreon) show the unedited versions. Off point: I don't have time to follow it, but it seems like "Sorry if it's inconvenient for you but the Bible doesn't actually say that." is becoming a whole genre unto itself. The whole concept of things being 'biblical' (still not sure what that means) or not is totally new for me.

My point is that you're a very long way from being alone.

I had to rewrite some book reviews (surprise, I read a lot) on Amazon for violating something or other to do with community guidelines. So I rewrote them. Not happy, but okay. A few months later I got a "friendly" warning letter that I'd be banned from all their social apps (whatever THAT means) if I continued to violate whatever their community guidelines are. Guess how many books reviews I've written since then? This chazerai (Yiddish for craziness) is everywhere...
