YouTube now allows monetization on videos with breastfeeding nudity and 'non-sexually graphic dancing' | TechCrunch
YouTube is updating its guidelines to allow new types of content to monetize adult content, the company announced today.

Let's be honest..
Are breastfeeding videos ever, anything but fetish content? Like EVER?
And if they can cater to that fetish totally fine, why aren't my fetishes allowed??
Umm, yes. Breastfeeding doesn't come to new mothers naturally. It's a learned skill. And many new mothers have never been taught. When my wife was shown by a lactation consultant at the hospital, they were so busy they only were able to stay for 10m. And this was with a mother and baby having issues.
Easily accessible videos properly demonstrating techniques with a real baby would have been extremely helpful, but at the time exposed breasts for the purposes of breastfeeding weren't allowed on YT at all, let alone monetized. This has been huge effort by feminist groups for a reason.
Wow really? I'm shocked that this isn't like, a significant part of the whole process, with the midwife and hospital staff and post-birth care..
And that there isn't an abundance of easily accessible resources already in place to help new mothers.
I'm a dude without kids and even I'm aware that some babies don't take to breast feeding immediately, or even after a day or two. Not everyone has a midwife and hospital stays are ridiculously expensive in the US. Having a kid in a hospital can easily be tens of thousands of dollars (most of which insurance pays).
And if they can cater to that fetish totally fine, why aren’t my fetishes allowed??
As already stated, it isn't necessarily a fetish, but you bring up a good point - why YouTube is enforcing some puritanical Christo-fundamentalist ethical standard is kind of ridiculous. As a European, where we have a less puritanical view of sex I'd like to be given the choice. It's not complicated to keep sexual content behind a tickbox choice like on Twitter or Reddit, especially not when, you know, Google Play is their only real gatekeeper here and guess who owns them? They also already use credit cards and the like for "age verification", so any excuse they have is vanishing more and more.
It's more for the advertisers Google hosts on YouTube than any values Google is trying to project on their users, I bet. Advertisers don't want their products advertised next to explicit content.
Google search is a little different in that the content is fairly separated from ads, unlike YouTube where they're inescapable.
You have a point. Google Images already shows you explicit content if you tick a box.
Holy shit. You're like the jealous dude who accuses his partner of cheating when she has never cheated. He only suspects of cheating because he himself is a cheater.
Stop sexualizing a very natural event.
It's not me buddy. I've been on the internet long enough to know how people with these kind of fetishes abuse these 'natural events' to their advantage.
Oh.
