Everyone’s afraid. Everyone’s playing it safe. It’s the future: No
lawsuits, no R-rated content, bailout’s for all!!

You can’t be mainstream and have R-rated content unless you’re in
theaters, then even xxx-rated Tarantino flicks like Hostel 2 are only rated R.

R just means “Reverything not Disney”.

And it’s only getting worse, political speech is getting censored now too on
sites like YouTube. Even the already poor conspiracy theorists are
getting driven off YouTube by YouTube or, rather, “displaced” by conglomeratized media.

Red Bull users with Patron ads now ask the independent video creator, “What are you doing here? This isn’t YOUtube anymore, it’s MYtube!” TivoTube. IndoctrinationTube, PatronTube, whatever you want to call it.

Bottom line, No R-rated content on our alcohol ads targetting 16-year-olds is allowed.

There really is no non-Patron-content safe from safe content restrictions on the internet unless of course you visit the recently launched and censorship-free BetterStream.com.

That site also answers this question you posed in your blog:

“Where are the internet videos that cover grown up subject matters, where nudity “that contributes to the subject matter” isn’t considered gratuitous or pornographic?”

The only thing we don’t allow right now is straight porn, but that’s more because we don’t want it to dominate art here. Not because of a parental reason. Parentals could be satisfied a lot easier on an almost-all porn site with good parental controls than on the open internet without.

Anytime you wanna talk about the future, I’d love to hear from you.

p.s. To YouTube’s credit, they do leave some adult content up, unless it’s
part of a greater work, then they always take it down
