Don't worry, my friend. It happens to us all. I had this happen only the other day with my second tribute to Thomas Finland and his black models for LGBTQ Pride month. They repeatedly removed my thumbnail, which, quite frankly, I did not think violated any of the gratuitous sexual **** that they were inferring it did. It was a guy in a pair of leather trunks. and two guys hugging each other. Anyway, I remade the thumbnail, which you can see. And this one has been accepted. I totally agree with you, though. I have been shocked and appalled by some of the ASMR channels that I've come across where literally you have a guy groaning and talking about what he's going to do to his girl. And that is plainly within sight!πŸ™‚

I also came across a wonderful vlogger who carries out different yoga poses in front of fantastic scenery. But all of them are carried out in a very tight thong and bikini top with her arse showing to the camera most of the time, I have not exactly watched the channel, but I did see her thumbnail. And that's what caught my eye.. And clearly that's the reason why she used it for her thumbnail, because she knew that it would get people's attention. And yet, Youtube has allowed that to stand where, in fact, if that bikini bottom moved just a few more centimeters, we would be seeing far more than perhaps even this young lady would like us to.

It beggars belief how these can be allowed to stand on the platform, and yet very simple images like you and I are posting are vetoed. Anyway, I just keep doing what I'm going to do. You should continue to do the same, my friend. We just pay them no mind and keep focused on what we're trying to create. The only reason I'm posting here is to let you know you're not alone. And I tend to just smile, tip them a nod and carry on.

Even though, due to my disabilities, I have to create everything using one hand, because my other hand is a problem. I still soldier on. I'm sat here in the Philippines in high humidiity, creating content on Internet speed that is slower than dial up. And yet I still persist. ..SO....If I can do it in these conditions, you definitely can. Do not give up my friend. Keep creating your beautiful work.β­πŸ˜ŽπŸŽ‰πŸ™

Hi there, I really enjoy your content here and on YT. Please hang in there. 😊 I have been online since the 'internet' became available and have noted the increasing new puritanism that has crept in on all platforms since about 2016. Does that tell you anything? Anyway it may pass in time I hope.

Thank you! Appreciate the vote of confidence. As for passing, the world would be a better place if a few of these puritanical CONservatives passed. These cultists are literally worshipping a man who "had an affair" with not one but two adult models while his third wife was pregnant with his fifth child...I think. The irony is lost of the Bible thumpers that can't read. Not ready to make nice with them and their since 2015. I was ahead of the curve. Like most good gays. lol

Thanks, Mr. Ford. I'm tired of fighting, but think his is a good fight. Hopefully I'm not wrong. :-)
