General

I want to make a gaming feedism channel with commentary. Any nudity is blurred, and anything sexual is skipped or avoided, my commentary is clean, but I'm still afraid YouTube isn't going to allow my channel to become monetized cause it's fetish or feedism-related. I've read their guidelines, there's nothing super specific for this kind of stuff, especially cause they also mix in eating disorder stuff.... but mukbang exists somehow!
What's the difference between this and Mukbang!? Has youtube seen Nikavado Avacado?? The dude is a POS and gaining so much weight from eating while staying one of the biggest creators on the platform! He showcases his fat belly all the time! (sorry, small rant)
All I wanna figure out specifically what I need to censor or what games to avoid to maintain a good relationship on the platform.

If you wanna check out the channel and tell me if I'm messing up (Also if you wanna Subscribe too, that'd be awesome): www.youtube.com/channel/UC3rpgitgjKBE-hydnTnTrOw

Asking about YouTube enforcement is like asking for the lotto numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are just some triggers for bots and if individuals report the video/channel, with only massive channels or those who get large public discussion having actual humans look at them.

Might be worth looking into something like Twitch and then mirroring the video on YouTube and long term something like Patreon/memberships if you pick up a sizeable enough following.

Feedist content is specifically prohibited from Patreon in their latest TOS. I don’t know what enforcement is like, though.

What’s the wording on that TOS that’s kinda crazy that the few hundred of us caused them to change tos lol hope all the people on there find new homes for their content

I don’t think YouTube is the move tbh and you can avoid a lot of flags if you don’t mention feedism or have full partial or implied nudity

Go to the “Harmful Acts” topic. It’s near the top. They lump it in as equal to pro-ana topics.

It’s vague enough that it pretty much gives them cover to boot someone for whatever they want, but also vague enough that it’s hard to say what enforcement will be like. It’s really a good look that they specifically have to call out consensual behavior as being verboten. Oh well, guess it’s not really a surprise anymore.

Huh. This is wild.

On the one hand, I do understand the logic. A lot of feedists have disordered eating habits. I see it nearly every day when I log onto this website or see screenshots from other websites.

But on the other hand, feedism doesn't require disordered eating.

It doesn’t seem to me like it’s going to be used as a blanket for all feedist content



It seems like it’s targeting more of the morally gray stuff like forcing,illegal.
Its still kinda crazy they had to add a whole dang subsection for lil old feedists haha

It specifies consensual and non consensual feeding. I imagine that anyone who has a feedist patreon and gets reports filed about them is going to be on a very short leash, regardless of content (unless it’s saying feedism is dangerous).

I'm not. I'm into extreme feedism, so I've seen some shit. A lot of shit. A good chunk of it is bad.

There's a way to engage in feedism sustainably. However, a lot of feedists who mix money into things do not engage in it sustainably. It's always the next big flashy thing to get views. And it's always at the feedee's/gainer's expense. It's why a lot of models don't stick around for very long.

This is not to say that all feedist models are harming themselves. I've seen several feedists that put their health first. But a good chunk of feedists that monetize their kinks put themselves in harm's way for profit.

All that said, I feel it's deeply myopic to lump all of feedism into the category. Painting this kink in such broad strokes spits in the face of those who practice safe feedism.

It reminds me of BDSM before it gained a more mainstream acceptance. A lot more people viewed it as fetishized abuse. But that's misunderstanding the fetish.
