Bullshit on YouTube. I look at a lot of your stuff on YT and I've never seen any of your material be offensive. Sexually or Otherwise. I will say that I wish it was more sexually graphic but it's not. The accepted venue for that is elsewhere. YT is just seeing fire when there is not even smoke. Sorry you have to put up with that. Your material on YT and SS is enjoyable and entertaining. BHS

Thank you, Ben. It's definitely time I walk away from YouTube. If I don't, it's looking more and more likely the bots will find reasons to strike me again, which will lead to the channel being deleted. Over, like you said, utter bullshit. Hate YouTube's bots and bot-like bureaucrats. All I wanna do is make videos for folks to enjoy. As for more sexually graphic, that's a no-go unless I wanna move over to OnlyFans or a similar platform. Which I don't. Artistic erotica is where the lines are drawn. And even then, I'm likely in some corporate cross-hairs. It's...fun. Cheers and thank you for the kind words and support!

I appreciate your nice reply. I've already read your piece that came today. I can understand your frustration with YT. You have much more patience than I would. I do realize your situation. When you create quality material then submit it for public viewing ( your material submitted to YT). You can get disillusioned when you face petty criticism and a wave of ridiculous rules. It's even worse when you know your material is good and solid yet you still have to dodge hurdles put in your way. I understand you feeling you've had enough. Although I'll miss seeing your content on YT, I do think you made the right decision and I would support you fully.

Much appreciated, Ben. My frustration is exacerbated by the fact that I love YouTube. It's my go-to for content. But Substack is a much healthier ecosystem for me. I appreciate you being here, sharing a kind word, and supporting my work. Cheers!
