... Why would that be disconcerting? Doesn't it just mean that more people than before are interested enough to post them?
In all fairness, the problem was a bit different - but the thread title is sorely misdirecting.
The problem is not with simple proliferation of M/M clips.
Problem is - WAS - with */F being routinely deleted - while other tickle-related clips, of any kind but */F, apparently survived the staff scythe.
I should mention, this is less of a problem now than it used to be a while ago.
YT staff is a bit less likely to mass remove */F clips.
Maybe they wanted to make a point during Yahoo migration.
...
A persisting problem with YT - and most other vid sites - is people seldom label clips properly.
A thing is calling M/M fans gay and fuelling a potential "homophobia" flame.
A thing is finding clips of any kind BUT the one you are really interested in.
When people get upset they sometimes choose their words poorly.
Of course the real problem is YT being unsuited for adult contents.
Tickling itself is not a specific term: anything from puppets to newborns can turn up when looking for tickle-related vids.
And fetish-specific jargon is not recommended: it would likely draw YT staff attention sooner, resulting in a shorter clip life.
...
Some user suggested posting indirect links to YT, without live urls.
Apparently, it did work.
