OK, this is all-too-familiar. I just got notice from YouTube that my Sexy Bondage Restraints Introduction video was flagged for violating community standards and was removed. The video consists of 90% product shots, yes with bondage, but no tits or genitals. Yes, a few G-strings and so mostly bare asses, but there's other content with similar reveals that are going strong. I posted the video on Oct 24, and in three months had gone to over 11,000 views, and it was ramping up. Here's a low-res version:
Not exactly objectionable porn is it . . . ? Mild if you ask me. Why this is so disconcerting, is that in November, Facebook blocked my Sexy Bondage Restraints business page, which, in the three months *it* was up, had garnered 650 likes, and was seeing upwards of 2500 views a month. No warning, no identifying what was objectionable, just bam!, it was gone. Again, I was careful to avoid posting anything with bare breasts or exposed genitals., and these were also predominantly product shots from manufacturers. In fact, I have to avoid a lot of products because our e-commerce website host disallows anything that resembles human reproductive organs, so not penis-look dildos, can't show nipple clips being used, you get the picture. So I just don't get why both Facebook and YouTube took me down! Unless . . .
Bianca said after the Facebook ban that it was our competition, but I thought that was too paranoid. Now . . I'm not so sure. We're getting popular on the internet, facing down the Goliaths of the industry with our little site. And the way things are . . well *were* . . going, we stand to start taking some market share away from the bigs. So could it be, they're defending "their" turf? It really looks that way.
Well, I've reinstated the Facebook page, added a new
bondage lingerie video to YouTube, and will certainly keep at it, because this all tells me that I'm on the right track. Sexy Bondage Restraints is becoming a force to be reckoned with . . . !
