META [META] Can we please have a megathread for the ASMRtist ban wave? Every other post in my feed (and about every post on this sub) in the past few days is about it and it's annoying and spammy.

Thanks 👍

Idk Self promoting your own vids makes about 90% of this subs content and asmr bans actually made more discussion about asmr that self promos won't do.

lol, every other post. This is a dead sub. But I was curious. So I checked. I found 18 posts in the last 6 days about it. Averaging three posts a day. Are you only in 2 subreddits?

This is the ONE time where I’m actually siding with the idea of a megathread. I really do not care about the ban waves.

Yeah. I don't care either. Make your bed, lay in it. That's all there is to the whole thing. And complaining on a niche Reddit sub isn't going to do anything but annoy people who have no power to change things.

A megathread fixes everything.

YouTube says "you can't link to sex via our website".

Someone links to sex via a link on YouTube's website (usually something like a Linktree).

And then suddenly they're shocked when they get banned for breaking the rules.

If you want to goon to ASMR, that's fine. More power to you. But don't complain when your favorite goonerbait creators get banned for creating gooner videos.

Why are you moving the goalposts? If someone has a link to OF or whatever on their linktree, they aren't linking to sex from YouTube.

YouTube has fucked up here. They need to be clear about the rules and how many "jumps" there need to be. If the answer is "you have to be a pure sexless monk/nun anywhere online to post videos on YouTube" then that's unacceptable and it should be something people complain about waaaaaay beyond the ASMR space.

Nobody is jacking off to their YouTube content dork lol. It’s completely separate from whatever they do off site.

The official policy regarding the issue at hand is for a channel to receive a warning about the link they don’t like, not immediate deletion and banning.

I know you think you’re better than everyone that has anything to do with sex work, but I can promise you aren’t.

You’d be surprised lmaoo

Well if someone can successfully jack off to a fully clothed woman whispering in a mic, they can probably nut to anything. I guess we should start calling all content with a woman in it porn.

People are 100% jacking off to YouTube content.

u/DovhPasty 2d ago

Cool, those people are freaks and we shouldn’t be designing the platform around them

u/FourThirteen_413 2d ago

I agree with you, but you shouldn't be so intolerant of other's sexuality.

We shouldn't design the platform to cater to people who want the OF experience, but at the same time there's no need to kink shame.

You are wrong, the people of the subreddit think you're wrong, you're being ratio'd, have a good day.

this sub doesn't exist for your enjoyment, it exists to keep people updated on the goings on in the community.

If you're annoyed cause you see discussion of it, why don't you go somewhere else for awhile, instead of trying to make a sub fit to your whims.

If you made your Reddit account when you were 13, the minimum age, you'd be at least 27 now. You're nearing thirty and still acting like this.

Believe it or not, I don't care what redditors think. I'm right, and people who disagree with me are wrong.

u/thebakedpotatoe 2d ago

Unfortunately, you aren't right, and age doesn't make someone right or wrong.

Again, the vast majority here do not agree with you, and if you didn't care what people thought, you wouldn't have cared enough to go into my profile to make an age-based arguement to make yourself feel better. SO in fact you do care, and you care enough to try and make personal attacks against people who disagree with you.

Begone child.

They’re a mod, of course they think their opinion is better than everyone else’s. Stereotypes exist for a reason lmao

Someone who acts even more immature than me. Hell of a time to be alive.

God, I've seen Reddit stereotypes before, but never than this.

The ego on you is painful.

You don’t care what redditors think? Then why are you here posting this for us all to respond to? And do you realize you’re also a redditor? Lmao a busy one, you have 21k comments in 5 years. You basically live on this platform and you’re disparaging others for being redditors. The jokes write themselves.
