After two LONG weeks of a forced "break," I’m finally about to post again on my main YouTube channel. Yay! I'm finally back and have posted the video that got me in this mess to begin with (for linking to Wikimedia Commons…truly one of the dumbest things about YouTube).

SASHA + FRIENDS (NSFW) 🔞

Still less-than-thrilled with YouTube Creator Support and its Policy Team, but I’m happy to return to the channel I've worked so hard to build and the community that continues to grow around it.

From my point-of-view, YouTube continues raising the bar on censorship…and lowering it on creator support and user experience. So I’m even more thrilled to have Substack on my side. It’s a platform by and for adults. Not just an army of bot and thought police.

As I’ve mentioned in past posts, most (if not all) of my new videos will premiere on Substack first. Free and uncensored for all. Exclusive versions and videos YouTube won't let me post...or let you see.

Because of course a bot-run company knows better than we do. Not. :-)

Doing a little happy dance and keeping my fingers crossed that the channel will rebound from the lost momentum sooner than later.

THERE’S A FINE, FINE LINE

During the past two weeks, in between fights with YouTube, I’ve been doodling and noodling about Substack’s simple, straight-forward Content Guidelines, specifically the “Nudity, porn, erotica” section:

We don’t allow porn or sexually exploitative content on Substack, including any visual depictions of sexual acts for the sole purpose of sexual gratification. We do allow depictions of nudity for artistic, journalistic, or related purposes, as well as erotic literature, however, we have a strict no nudity policy for profile images. We may hide or remove explicit content from Substack’s discovery features, including search and on Substack.com.

So erotica good. Pornography bad. Got it. I think.

Because we’re humans, the lines aren’t always that simple of course. What I consider “erotica” may be “porn” to someone else.

Just to be clear of my defintions: For me, erotica is about art and beauty and feeling. Porn can be about those too but its main purpose is to help the viewer get their rocks off. Erotica can end in a mess. But pornography almost always does.

That’s my theory. And, unless someone has a better one, I’m sticking with it.

Why is this newsletter marked that?

Don't understand utube's puritanical view about sex and nudity. Their censors must all be 50 yr old virgin church ladies. Utube should mark its videos G, GP, R or X and let viewers decide. Most of us are not 3rd grade visitors to utube.
