Yesterday I had an email notification from Youtube. It turns out my video "Argentinian Beefcake" had been flagged as inappropriate, despite being marked as mature audiences only. There was a shot in the video that make them think it was intentionally sexually suggestive.
Note this was a video that was by a very, very long way my most viewed video with over 2.5 MILLION views. It showed no full frontal and was actually really tame but at the time stamp in question Jorge bends over to wash sand off his hands in the water. Nothing sexual about it. Sure he was nude but nothing was visible and it was a brief moment.
Of course I appealed the decision but it was upheld and the video was removed from my page. I don't think there is anything more i can do sadly.
So, if you want to see the video, these days you have to click here. It's getting harder and harder to find unproblematic hosting opportunities.
