The Scunthorpe problem strikes again.
post
I forget exactly what I was searching for, but it had the word young in it. Google told me this is illegal and refused to do it.
Scared me off the whole Internet for like 2 days.
When I try and look up the band "Suicidal Tendencies" the only thing I get is a suicide hotline message. It's so fucking stupid
I have a similar problem when I try to search for "Codi Vore" on porn sites. I'm often greeted with an error message, "why are you searching for vore, you sick fuck?"
She doesn't even do vore, that's just her porn name.
I bet they wouldn't even give you a Pepsi, smh
Searching for Bare Naked Ladies must be a nightmare.
a while back I was looking for someone named "Molly Green" on Instagram and they said "we cannot complete this request. here are addiction treatment resources"
they definitely have the resources to whitelist valid combinations, but some shirt ran the numbers and decided it wouldn't bring enough money in
Hey if it's good enough for the US federal government to use to kill scientific studies, then it's good enough for them
Playing devil's rusted avocado, if I know anything about mature content submissions, they'll latch onto any whitelisted combo as soon as it's discovered and dilute the actual desired content.
If google believes I'll find porn by looking up "naked" on youtube thu problem might be tht they forgot their content filters.. Not the search
I really hope those kids they have saved never realize they themselves are naked below their clothing. They'd instantly die fatally of lethal shock.
Do a video search with "site:youtube.com" on the various Web search engines that have a video search.

You don't need to use YouTube's search engine to search YouTube.
EDIT: I mean, many of you, like me, probably long-since tried and then gave up on using Reddit's (really bad, at least last time I tried it) search engine to search Reddit, but found that doing "site:reddit.com" searches on Web search engines was still useful. The same principle applies elsewhere...
EDIT2: Plus, you may not even want the site:youtube.com qualifier, if you're fine with videos from other video-hosting websites.
YT's own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it's completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.
Searching for music from Psychedelic porn crumpets on youtube is also fun!
springbok nude girls?
Edit: Just tried and I can't search for them anymore. Fuck Google.
Psychedelic porn crumpets
no results
Such fun!
They even renamed their channel to Psychedelic Prn Crumpets
I think youtube just wants more people to create accounts, to force more and more views to be tied to IDable users.
Facebook marketplace wouldn't let me search for an LSD for my car, I had to search for a limited slip differential, which gave me a ton of results for posts that had "LSD" in the listing.
Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/"AI", and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.
Makes you wonder if it's really "for the children" or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.
They've been censoring stuff like this for years and years before llms even existed man. People are like so up in arms about ai and all the bullshit there that they forget about how things were even 3 years ago. If you notice one of the biggest things on here is the dude isn't signed in if you're not signed in then it's going to ask if you're legit or not.
I can't say I'm a fan, but it's great to see people still listening to Bif Naked in 2026.
If we start using lbry instead of youtube, we wouldnt have that problem..
If those who have even heard about LBRY all started exclusively using it today, youtube wouldn't even feel the traffic drop.
That is exactly the problem. I wander why much better platform is one that majority of people didnt even heard of. And much worse platform is the one that eweryone uses…?
Shouldnt we compare two by technology and see whic one is better instead of just using the popular one..? Because diference is huge!
I wander why much better platform is one that majority of people didnt even heard of
Do you...do you really wonder this? How, exactly, would you expect the masses to learn about something that has a zero dollar marketing budget?
Thats fair, but if product is good we users should be enough marketing to make word spread. I heard from a guy so now am telling others hoping it will cach someone else who likes it.
First time i discovered it i was like omg this is great why i didnt know for this sooner.
I assumed that was "Ibry" and not "LBRY." Is it the former or the latter?
Music companies have a revenue sharing deal with YouTube. Does it have one with lbry?
No but LBRY have its own economy system, so musicions are getting paied, probably much more than on youtube..
I know many youtubers that sad they are earning more on LBRY with less followers than on youtube with more folowers.
The problem is, people dont understand technology, and dont know to chose better technology. They just pick more popular platform, despite its much worse technology.
Than, when they get in trouble with censorship because of that, demonetisacion and other stuff, they just scratch their head, feel bad and dont know what to do..
But if you researc a bit about that problem, you can find out that its alredy been solved, and that is LBRY content freedom platform that technicly works totaly diferent from youtube but serves same purpose.
Wont let me search for Excrementory Grindfuckers either. I have to put "Excrementory Grindfuckers Youtube" into my search engine to get it to pull up. Pretty lame.
It says "confirm your age." Are you under 18? Would it give valid search results to someone over 18?
Works for me...
Anything special about your account?
Family Link restriction or so?
I also haven't seen a "confirm your age" message up to now.
Maybe a country-specific restriction?
Where are you from?
You're logged in. The OP wasn't.
Okay, I see, didn't notice the "login" on the screenshot before.
But then it kinda makes sense that the the most restrictive default filters are active.
No it doesn't. It's about friction. They want people logged in to better monitor them and collect their data. If someone uses their service while logged out the platforms make it difficult as possible in as many ways as possible to "encourage" people to create an account and log in. "Protecting the children" is just a satanic panic excuse. PARENTS are responsible for managing their children's online activities. Expecting platform providers to be the arbitrators of morality for our kids (or for adults) is how we ended up with Elon Musk's fucked up CSM generator on twixxer.
