OT YouTube Content Creator Question

[Voodoo]

I have a question for any of the nerds out here that may be able to help me and my wife that we've been struggling with recently. A few weeks ago my wife began her own YouTube channel as a passion project, she has spent a tremendous amount of time working on her initial video and posted it onto YouTube. Her video came out great and she got a lot of great feedback. Success!

But here came the catch, when she first created her channel she used our last names which are when combined is exceedingly uncommon. This is where it gets odd, and frustrating, the night she posted the video if you searched for our joint last names on YouTube the only thing that came up was her video. Again, success right? We thought so too, but the next morning when I searched YouTube using our last names and a playlist came up that was linking to other videos that had extremely graphic porn in it with our last names as a keyword.

I am not sure if these are T-wolves fans a bot, or what, but of course this is extremely frustrating because we don't want someone to search for her videos and to have them discover half the videos associated with that term is actually porn. We've done some initial research, but all we have found so far is that you can flag the playlist and YouTube then deletes the content that is linked in the playlist but the account owner of the playlist goes otherwise unscathed. The challenge and loophole here is that since the account owner is linking to other videos and isn't posting the videos themselves they are not violating YouTube's policies. Each of the individual videos keep getting taken down, but every day they are linking to more and it's a never ending battle.

So, my question to the great S2 community at large is are there any nerds out there that may be able to help or give any suggestions on how we can get this resolved so porn doesn't show up when we use our last names as a search? Thanks for your help!

you have probably got a virus or need virus protection or filters on your site......I had an art website with a comments section that was invaded by Russian spammers once...i didn't mod it enough to monitor it...the net has leeches that use your site for their own needs and promotion. good luck with the podcast...I'm sure you can fix your problem with a good computer tech

Thanks @riverman, we're you using YouTube for your art site? How did or would one go about adding a virus protection on a YouTube channel?

Try searching in an incognito browser window so there aren't any saved cookies, trackers, etc.

Probably some SEO scammers.

[Natebishop3]

Wait I need to understand this better.

you go to YouTube.com and type in your name and porn shows up?

Whew... very relieved, that would have been a bit awkward the next time I saw @THE HCP.

Yes, I was legit surprised by this too because I had never come across it before but see here:

Yes, my wife created a YouTube channel that combined our last names. When you type in our last names, it comes up with playlist from an account that links to videos of porn ON YouTube. So yes, essentially if I got to YouTube and type in my wifes last name (our combined last names) it comes up with porn.

That has something to do with their algorithm. I’m not sure how you can fix that. It’s not a virus though.

I tried your suggestion using Incognito in YouTube and searching and it still comes up with the porn as a hit. Also, what is an SEO scammer?

Yeah I am pretty confident it has nothing to do with viruses, I have tried it on two different computers, three phones, and now my work computer and it's the same thing. The issue is that someone has a YouTube account with a search key of our last names, and they are linking to porn videos. My wife is Vietnamese, I am American, so combining our last names generates a fairly unique last name which I believe a bot noticed and assigned that unique last name as a search key when it saw traffic to her video. The issue is that we can't get the YouTube account that is linking to the videos deleted because it is not technically violating YouTube's terms of service, it's a frustrating loophole in their terms of service.

An exploit has recently been discovered in Google's YouTube video hosting service that is being used by adult websites to upload pornographic content.

Normally, videos can be uploaded to YouTube "unlisted," making them invisible from search engines. These videos cannot be seen publicly, unless a direct link is provided. However, according to a report by TorrentFreak, some third-party websites found a way to play secretly uploaded videos on their own service, by streaming the data on googlevideo.com, which is operated by Google.

"These videos are served directly from the GoogleVideo.com domain without being listed on YouTube. This means that they might also bypass the Content-ID takedown system somehow, although we haven’t confirmed this."

Apparently, this trick seems to be already well-known to the adult community. A California-based adult film producer shared that the loophole was actually being used to host pirated adult content. "Copyright infringers take advantage of a private-video-share setting," Dreamroom Productions told TorrentFreak. "They upload and store videos, and freely use them on third party websites to earn profits."

This story is from 2017, so might be something different now but this seems to describe what is happening to us.

Bingo, I always suspected you of making dirty movies. Did you make them all with your wife or did you use other women as well? Also, would you like to share some of your favorite dirty movies with us?

You were just the nerd I was hoping would be able to help me sort out my problems. I will tell you if you’re able to help, otherwise you’re going to have to die from curiosity.

Hah, you wish you old perv. You’ve got plenty of options for your needs searching for amateur porn on many sites, but alas none of it is from us. @SlyPokerDog might be able to help tho, I hear he is a dirty old dog.

Truth be told I gave up porn totally when I got married. My wife is all I want in intimate companionship or ever will want. I'm totally devoted to her for the last 41 years.
The rest is all bullshit, on my part, and I'm well known for it.

...need more information to properly analyze this for you, what is the keyword?

If I can re-create the same search experience as you, then the best advice may be to rebrand her channel immediately...

Yes, the freaking Biden deep state came knocking at my door. No, she ended up changing her channel name and the offender hasn’t posted another video since. Pretty strange but it does lead me to think it’s a bit then.
