Hi All,

So the preview for the Lasko video got removed by Youtube. Not completely surprising given the content of it, but it is a warning placed on the channel and subsequent strikes afterward would put the channel at risk of removal. I of course don't want that to happen. Youtube is really cracking down on what they consider to be "sexually gratifying" content, so I need to tread lightly from here on out, and make adjustments to the old stuff that I have on the channel as well.

I'm still gonna make spicy stuff. Both the monthly Age-Restricted Bonus Audios and the less fully-explicit stuff (think Hot Boi Summer/Winter etc). I enjoy making it, I know you guys enjoy listening to it. Don't worry about that. But I don't think that stuff can live on Youtube anymore. I'm still working out the details, but I'll be pulling the videos that I think are too much off Youtube. I'm a better safe than sorry kinda guy, so it's gonna be a sizeable amount of videos. I'll make sure they're available elsewhere, nothing is going away permanently, don't stress that. But the ultimate longevity of the channel has to be my paramount concern, and I'm gonna take the steps necessary to ensure that. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you so much for letting us know and doing what you need to in order to keep the channel safe! I'm sure I'm not alone in knowing that you're doing what you think is best and I trust your decision!

Ryoko_Aoi_

Youtube is a certified karen indeed

bayleavesandroses

You do whatever you feel is best for the channel and your work. We appreciate all of the wonderful content we’re able to enjoy thanks to you 🧡

Discretely Obvious

if you just wanna post the audio erocast is a great option. it allows you to make playlists and tag everything. its also public. soundgasm.net is also an option but it's constantly crashing due to the amount of users and it doesn't have a tagging system

Becks

Ugh stupid youtube, but better safe that sorry 🥰 we'll listen in secret shhh 😉

Harley the Addict

We totally understand and we trust your judgement! Thanks Erik ☺

Huxley

I hope you make previews for free users, that's why i started subscribing to patreon because i wanted to see the rest of it really bad!

amelia

Completely understandable, hope you can work through the issue with minimal problems <3

Ado

Seems totally reasonable to me. YouTube go suck a tit you fucking baby

highkeymika

that's completely understandable !! youtube atm is a complete shit show so it's understandable to not want to take the risk , i'm sorry it's even a thing you have to worry about :( <3

kai xin

No worries 💚💚💚

sera(tonin)

youtube really just wont let us have nice things huh >:/ thank you so much erik, best of luck with all of this! im sorry youtube is being stinky lately

Eva137

I think patreon allows a free option that some creators use for YouTube blocked stuff?

ListeningPhoenix

Seeing Redacted on soundgasm might blow my mind lol. But they have been having even more issues with crashing & videos being unplayable lately.

Shelbey W

Thank you for letting us know, and keeping the channel safe. Youtube truly does suck 😢we all appreciate you and the world you have made 💕

HeadsorTailors

I'm so sorry about that! The small snippets you post are VERY tame compared to the full NSFW ASMR videos I've seen, but can understand that need to be safe!! 💜💜

grxy

i’m sorry that you’re having to do that erik, i can’t imagine the amount of stress and worry you’re under because of it. we appreciate you and everything you do. i hope issues get resolved with minimal to no problems <3

atlas

fr fighting youtube. i mean i get it since youtube age verification stuff is pretty impossible but it still sucks when there is literally a feature to age restrict videos and youtube still takes stuff down

kuraikit4500 .

Gotta say, I truly appreciate the clear communication you give us, Erik. Thank you. Needless to say, you have our support ✌️

arieseyes

it definitely does suck that some of the videos have to get taken down but if it's for the best for the channel as a whole, we're all gonna support you erik :)

Mikayla

You could try and post the snippets on Reddit and do something like what cardlin does where he summarizes what happens in the audio to post on YouTube!

Glitter Goblin

yeah i was kinda expecting the Lasko preview to get popped but this is quicker than i thought, jeeze ☹️ a good portion of the content i personally make and consume is nsfw in nature and it seems like there are fewer and fewer places to safely and freely post that kind of thing, its becoming really irritating and disheartening. hopefully you find a good solution, youre the best gender neutral spice creator ive ever found

Victoria C.

Erik, thank you for letting us know what is going on and please do what you have to in order to secure your channel on YouTube. I think, hopefully, the story lines will more or less remain intact on YouTube without the spicier audios. I've invited a number of friends to check out your channel and I'd hate for you to lose it, so please do what you must. I am finding it interesting, the creators that are coming within YT's cross-hairs, and those escaping notice. I feel like the channels come under review once a certain number of subscribers are reached, but that is just an observation based on nothing really. Anyway - Good luck! And thank you so much for sharing your work with us.

Mimble

Ah, YouTube. Their system is SO shit.

Shana

Damn... I was hoping this day would never come... but i guess it's to be expected. I can't imagine the amount of stress this must be putting on you, please do what you feel is best for you and take care of yourself, will still be here to support you no matter what!

L.L

Do what you gotta! It's a tough situation and whatever works best for you is the best option.

MJ_1700

Do what needs must for the sake of the outstanding work you do already

boopy

sorry that happened

StephOS7

This is a shitty turn of events, but I gotta say it's kinda funny to me that it was the Lasko Chastity video (in which the point is literally NOT cumming) that was the first one to get flagged as "sexually gratifying". Nonono, youtube, he's NOT being gratified, that's the whole point!

☆•RedRiot•☆

Understandable... maybe it'll all just be safer here on patreon or whatever platform you choose to put them in. Either way I'll support you on here or anywhere... or both! ❤️❤️

Sugarcwisp

That really blows. Better safe than sorry though.

gremlin_king

i’m not sure how to do it but there is a way to have a free tier on patreon where you could put them on i know you can bc sims cc creators have them. that could be an idea

Othello

Really hoping this doesn’t stress you out too much - take your time, people are very understanding, and the last thing anyone wants is for your channel to be taken down because of something like this. It’s okay.

Sugar Crash

I know some va creators who make spicier content will put somethings on Reddit since their rules are a lot looser compared to YouTube. I’ve heard there’s also a way to post things on patreon without putting it behind the paywall, I saw someone do that recently as well, but I have no idea how all that works. Just some things you might want to look into. Good luck this, it sounds stressful 👍🏻

Glitter Goblin

i know its what had to be done but i just checked whats left and im so heartbroken Gavins first video is gone 😭😭😭😭😭 like i know its not gone gone but Gavins one of my top faves and his playlist is the one i go back to the most, wehhh

Pagan Kitten

Definitely do what is best for the channel.

Thewildworm

i would rather you be safe than sorry as well. youtube is kind of unforgiving unfortunately

Your’s Truly

Fisting fighting YouTube right now. Thank you so much for letting us know, I woulda straight up panicked if I saw *any* of the videos gone. I love the playlist options for the nsfw audios I just like listening to them while I’m wondering around doing chores, it makes it more interesting! I can’t believe YouTube is pulling this again, they already have YouTube kids as an option and with the whole thing that happened to CoryxKenshin I want to leave YouTube as a platform for reals. Please tell us if you find another platform that will let you upload the videos freely! Spotify, maybe ????

VampireMoon

You have our support Erik ❤️ do what you think is best for the channel of course and take your time 🙂

Echo

I think that's for the best, no use having the channel tank for the sake of a few audios that can still be found elsewhere. I know it's frustrating for a lot of people but it's unfortunately the reality, there are rules we have to follow sometimes even if we don't like them and there are ways around this anyway so it's not the end of the world. I'm just happy that nothing too disruptive is happening as a consequence and that it's a way for things to be careful without as much risk. Priorities are important and the future of the channel and the stories being told takes precedence, that makes me happy and feel safe in knowing that everything will still be here.

Helios Flame

Understandable. YouTube can be very frustrating for content creators from what I've seen. But you do what you have to do for the safety and future of your channel and the stories that you want to tell (which you do fantastically, btw 💙)

Karen Fernandez

You have put out so much fun, great, well rounded content, there is enough to go around .Spicy Hot 🔥 can stay behind the wall. I'm lucky enough to be able to support my spicy werewolf southern vamp habit. We all want your channel to thrive and you have the storytelling ability to do it. ;)

Equinnoxx

I’m so sorry that happened, but I really respect you as a creator and I’m happy to hear that you’re going to continue making the content you enjoy, even if it can’t live on the same platforms. Thank you for your dedication and inspiring me not to let anything get me down as a creator!

EmSterling93

I wondered if this was going to happen, what with all the YouTube 'adult content' issues lately. Thanks for keeping us updated, Erik!

ReaTheLaw

Thank you for not just getting rid of them! There's a lot of channels I like that have just been taking their videos down because of stuff like this and it sucks. I'm sorry the youtube stuff is putting a crank in things. Always rooting for you!

Katie

Am I sad yes, am I surprised YT is acting like that not really… I listen to other va creators who get spicy and nothing happens but 1-2 get the slightest bit and YT is like nerp … possibly back everything up that you can to Soundgasm. Just a possibility lol

itsyaboykam

Thanks for keeping us updated! I listened to the Lasko audio here and was surprised to see it even in it's cut down state on YouTube all things considered. I found your Patreon content through your more explicit videos and I'd hate for others to miss out on this type of content if it interests them ;w; stay safe and good luck!

Miimaas

Dang, I'm sorry you have to go through all that trouble, thanks for keeping us in the loop 👍

Crimson Wolf

Damn sorry about that Erik but your right it's better to be safe than sorry YouTubes becoming more stricter with what people are posting on there these days. But thanks for keeping us in the loop, your the best 😊

Lacaille

All good totally makes sense! Honestly tho I was surprised a bunch of the hot boi summer previews were deemed “ok” by YouTube standards to start with… a shame the work lands on u tho

Sapphira Dae

I’m so sorry you have to go through all the trouble… it really sucks that YouTube keeps cutting videos. I’m also really grateful that Patreon isn’t as strict about content💀

Sapphira Dae

Also, may I suggest Reddit? If you wanted to try a new platform, There are a couple subreddits available for asmr artists (sfw and nsfw) or you can post all of your content onto your personal “redacted asmraccount” :)

Esbee

We love a faceless corporation that uses an algorithm to remove a creative work that is properly labeled as 18+ and uses considerate content warnings, in a non-visual medium no less, but finds it acceptable to leave straight up porn for people to find when they're looking at memes on youtube shorts, just because the title is a keyboard smash. But could we expect any different from a platform that automatically demonetizes videos with "gay" or "lesbian" in the title because it could potentially traumatize their ad revenue, oops I'm sorry, I mean, The Children? I'm sorry you got a warning, there is no less deserving channel. Sex is not a dirty thing, it's a human experience along with love, happiness, healing, acceptance, and family - all of which we've found in your stories. Hope you find a satisfactory solution to this soon!

Aaliyah Ward

YouTube is annoying as h3ll. They have serious issues to work out.

Lilith666

Erik, you're probably still gonna stress but you cant stop me from telling you don't stress while youre figuring things out, we are here and we support your decisions. please eat, drink and sleep well. 🤍🤍🤍

Lady amber

YouTube is pretty annoying right now ngl

RainyDay

Oh no that sucks! I'd heard that YouTube was putting the boot down but I still see and find much dirtier stuff than your previews out there so I figured you'd be safe 😔 I know all of us will support you no matter where you post, keeping the channel up is definitely the priority so do whatever you have to do.

maladaptive daydream

I apologize for being the 70th comment and ruining the funny number, but just wanted to chime in - with their new supposed standards, I don't know why YT even makes a distinction between YT and YT Kids, since it's pretty clear they're pushing the whole site to become YT Kids. 😔

Delimira.Audio

YouTube has become very frustrating for a lot of creators. It’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s a shame that creators have to be afraid or even nervous when posting on their platform, even with an age restriction on their content. I’ve seen porn on YouTube! But, apparently, that’s ok. Even some ads are very sexual. It’s a bunch of bullshit. It really is.😔 Erik, your work and content is phenomenal and we are so sorry that you’re going through this. We completely understand your decision to want to be safe and cautious when it comes to your videos on YouTube and future videos. You have put a lot of hard work and time into your channel and we fully support you doing whatever it takes to make sure it is not removed. It just really sucks that you have to do this at all. We know that this has to be stressful for you but take a moment to breathe, eat and drink water, and take care of yourself physically and mentally. Your listeners and supporters will be here and stick around no matter what.😊❤️

Green Blue

YouTube is REALLY pushing my buttons lately. They keep acting like regular YouTube is YouTube Kids

callie

yaaas preserve the brand king

carlos

😳🫢 not Lizzy trying to drag the channel to hell with her

Arai

Comment is probably going to be buried but maybe a better advertising for the 18+ patreon is better described than having the actual audio. That way people can still see it and know it exists. Of course, just a suggestion. Sucks youtube did this hope it wont affect views going forward.

Char

Damn it Youtube, it's Sextember! Don't ruin our fun!

Clara Catlady

😑 God damn it YouTube why? Why can’t they just make it 18+ where you can only watch the video if you are confirmed over 18 (which is done by having Google verify your age using a picture of something like your drivers license) but NOO of course not because that would be too convenient and easy wouldn’t it.

Char

Just for that, Youtube, I'm upgrading to Obsessed Tier! So there! 😤 (I was planning to anyway🙃)

Landry Luebbert

Sextember broke YouTube, and the listeners.

Katrina Rainsong

Ah, super sad, but I get it. I should probably take an audit of my channel too...

Lovely Deviant Alyssa

Words cannot express how sorry I am about all of this, Erik 💔 I'm so incredibly sorry that you have to deal with all this madness, and stressful uncertainty. It's so frustrating, that YouTube would resort to content removal, over something like this. In the wake of that (as I'm sure many others have already said...) I completely support any actions you choose to take, in an effort to protect the channel. By all means, do whatever you feel is best! Take all the time you need, truly 💜 We all support you 100% with anything you do 💖 This feels like a massive understatement, but: Thank you so much for all you do! With everything you do, your talent, care, dedication, and unbelievably hard work shines through so brightly. It is truly unparalleled. You're amazing! I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say: It is an honor to support you, and your fantastic content. And I'm so happy to hear that you aren't letting this occurrence stop you from making the content you wish to! 🥰 Again, we all support you completely, with whatever is ahead. Needless to say, your online presence and content is absolutely beloved, no matter the platform(s) that it exists on. To put it simply, we wholeheartedly trust you, and believe in you. Lastly, thank you so much for this update. I can only imagine how much stress you must be under right now, and how much work you're diligently doing. So, the fact that you took the time to keep us informed and comforted during this unexpected time... It's genuinely very touching. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
