\"\"The other day, I received a namby-pamby message from YouTube that said: <\/p>\n

Hi BootedHarleydude, We have reviewed your content and determined that it may not be suitable for viewers under the age of 18, per our Community Guidelines. As a result, we’ve age-restricted the following content:<\/p>\n

Video: Harley Davidson Bike and Cop Boots<\/p>\n

We haven’t applied a strike to your channel, and your content is still live for some users on YouTube. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The message rambled on about why they apply adult content warnings to some videos uploaded on their site.<\/p>\n

The video they changed access to was uploaded 15 years ago — yep, in 2008. Why suddenly 15 years later they decide a video showing a boot on a Harley would be inappropriate for children under age 18? <\/p>\n

Annoyed, I decided…
\n
\n\"\"… to delete that video. Who needs this stupid censorship? Really, a boot on a motorcycle? Really?<\/p>\n

While YouTube does not explain how they reached that decision, I suspect someone flagged it for content because in their twisted misperception, it promoted a boot fetish — though nothing was in it that could be construed that way by a normal person. I allege that whoever may have flagged it was not normal (as some in the political cult society are.)<\/p>\n

There are a lot of prudes in the world, and more of them now than ever. <\/p>\n

I used to have about 120 videos on YouTube that I made between 2007 and 2013, but took 2\/3 of them down (with a warning<\/a>) in 2020 because they were causing me to waste a lot of time moderating negative and stupid comments. <\/p>\n

I am seriously thinking of removing all of my old videos that were posted during that era. There are many more and better videos on YouTube than my old ones. I have no intention of making any more\/new videos. <\/p>\n

Further, who needs this aggravation? <\/p>\n

Complainers: Get a life!<\/p>\n

Life is short: who cares about YouTube anyway?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
