In my recommended section on both my homepage and right hand pane when I'm watching a YouTube video, I get a lot of the same recommended videos. It's in the gaming category and it's from one channel that is always using smutty clickbait type thumbnails. You know the typical sort with boobs or buttocks in the thumbnail? Well the ones I'm getting from this channel are gaming related that are all virtually sexual in nature such as blurred out genitalia and sexual poses and overly suggestive actions.
Isn't this kind of behavior forbidden by YouTube? To use suggestive/sexual type thumbnails to draw viewers into the video? All I remember about this subject is that I should stay away from it but hasn't YouTube stepped up their policies about it lately? When the reply girls were making out like bandits with their content I remember YouTube changed the viewing system but they haven't done anything in regards to tolerance for really racy thumbnails have they?
I report a lot of the really bad stuff people do like meta-tagging, bumping, spam and mis-categorization but for a while I've been unsure of Thumbnails in this extreme degree. The last I heard on this subject was that as long as the video has to do with the Thumbnails, that kind of content is okay?
I need some schooling on this matter.
