It’s a small point, but there’s a ton of full nudity on YT. It just can’t be intentionally pornographic.

IME few creators on youtube are willing to risk their channels by taking any risks in that regard.

For example, I'm told the character creator in 'Cyberpunk 2077' offers adjustable penis size - but many streamers and reviewers won't risk showing it. Even comedy channels that love creating zany characters.

After all, would you trust Youtube to detect whether nudity is pornographic context, when they can't even tell if 'white threatens black' is in a chess context?
