YouTube Account Terminated
With yesterday's upload of Tifa Nude Natural V8, my channel got a strike for the first time, and today it was terminated.
I read the Community Guidelines thoroughly when I started the channel, and I was pretty sure I was very far away from the line that they drew of what content violated their guidelines. And I've seen many non-educational videos with much more nudity that have been up for many years longer with millions of views, so I was pretty confident of my content's standing. But YouTube decided I actually was across the line.
I don't currently have a good plan for how to host videos going forward, I've been looking into SproutVideo as an alternative as it seems they are accepting of content containing nudity. If anyone has experience with them I'd be interested to hear how they are!
Although with this, I plan to put more focus into creating animations that will be available on Newgrounds and Twitter.

That’s freaking LAME! I can’t stand YouTube censorship. And the channel strikes often come from being reported by some censorship bureau prude. How’s Rumble for that?
This is still so disappointing; YouTube has a habit of doing whatever they want on a whim, and I can't stand them for it, but unfortunately everything is on there and so everyone still uses it. Don't let it get to you; I personally find your content through Patreon and Nexus, etc, so the YouTube issue won't affect my ability to find your quality stuff. Still, it's gotta be very frustrating, so just know you have fans who love your work and don't depend on that annoying platform :)
After seeing other larger YouTube channels having issues with their videos suddenly being age-restricted, I'm starting to think that my content actually was OK for the period that it was up, but YouTube may have recently increased it's threshold for what it finds appropriate.
Fuck YouTube and their bullshit anyway. But that’s a big setback, sorry it happened to you
