Two pieces of news have surfaced recently as a follow-up to Nutaku’s YouTube channel being nuked back on March 19th, 2019. The first is that TheGG.net’s sexy game videos have all been removed and banned from YouTube, and the second piece of news is that Nutaku is now looking for a new video host for their sexy-time game trailers.
Both pieces of news were revealed via an interview that Robin Ek published on TheGG.net on March 28th, 2019.
Ek explained in the opening paragraphs…
“Long story short, I started to realize that something was going on with our Youtube channel in September of last year (2018).
It all started with Youtube’s decision to remove our trailer for Nutaku’s “Panties of rage” game, then in December of the same year (2018) Youtube took away the ability for us to make any money on new or old videos (Youtube also removed ALL of our lewd videos just a couple of days ago…).”
If you check their YouTube channel, it’s true that videos related to Nutaku’s games, no matter how censored they were, have been removed.
But in the case of Nutaku, they used their channel to promote new and upcoming games set to arrive on the adult gaming web portal. However, YouTube wasn’t fond of Nutaku’s content and decided to terminate the channel.
Being out of a YouTube channel means that the company is now looking for a new video hosting site for the game trailers. Nutaku’s PR representative, Erica, explained to TheGG during the interview…
“According to YouTube, Nutaku’s channel was taken down on the pretext that the channel did not conform with YouTube’s guidelines.
“Currently, we are looking for other alternatives to host our latest trailers, videos, and more. Fans can stay tuned and check out Nutaku’s twitter, @nutakugames, for news and updates.”
A similar thing happened to One Angry Gamer’s YouTube channel, which was terminated back on January 8th, 2019.
So it finally happened. After months of SJWs reporting the censored videos we uploaded of the games that were being banned from Steam, they finally got OAG’s YouTube channel permanently terminated following our coverage of My Erotic Summer:https://t.co/zuOczZA0VR@TeamYouTube pic.twitter.com/NDZ7pMRgUw

The video that finally landed OAG’s YouTube channel in permanent suspension was for the game My Erotic Summer, which had been on the YouTube channel a month before YouTube decided to ban the trailer. The trailer being banned from YouTube along with OAG’s YouTube channel happened at the exact same time as Valve banning My Erotic Summer from Steam, which also took place on January 8th, 2019.
The gist of it is that YouTube is making wide-sweeping changes to the platform, banning, removing, and censoring content, even when it does comply with the rules. Just like in Nutaku’s case, the adult storefront uploaded censored versions of the game trailers or content to YouTube, but the channel was still nuked.
It’s possible that it was due to outbound links heading back to the Nutaku website, which became prohibited in YouTube’s latest community guideline update. Linking out to adult websites, malicious websites, or websites that Google deems as “spam” would net you a channel strike, and three strikes and your channel gets terminated. This is what happened to One Angry Gamer’s channel, along with LewdGamer’s channel.
One of the common solutions to a problem like this might be to simply switch to another video hosting service, but there aren’t many around that support the kind of games that Nutaku makes, as well as offering widespread promotional and marketing reach to attract new eyes on the product.
Some gamers would likely suggest that Nutaku open up a PornHub channel, which they’ve already done, but it might also be wise for them to check into opening up a Bitchute channel as well, since they also allow for NSFW content on the site.
It’s pretty obvious that YouTube is hammering down hard on content creators of all stripes, especially if they make or host any kind of edgy or NSFW content. But it’s becoming very clear that the landscape of content creation is rapidly changing, and people will either need to migrate elsewhere or conform to YouTube’s ever-increasing puritanical standards.
