https://www.404media.co/people-exploited-youtube-bug-to-upload-porn-that-cannot-be-deleted/

quote:

A small community of people who search for adult content on YouTube has discovered a bug that allows them to continue hosting porn on YouTube, even if their channels are deleted.

quote:

</Angled> told me that the exploit worked by breaking YouTube’s video tagging system, the field you use to add tags to your video when uploading.

“The way the bug worked was by using something called a newline, which YouTube very rarely counts as an actual character,” </Angled> said. “It’s basically what is written when you type the return key on your keyboard. By spamming millions of these characters in the videos tags, using a proxy, it would prevent visibility changes on the video, such as setting it from public to private, or deleting it all together.”

quote:

</Angled> said that YouTube has fixed the bug, because “enough people spammed them on Twitter and eventually one of their outsourced staff was competent enough to report it. Or perhaps my channel has attracted the attention of a YouTube employee, that went and reported it themselves.”

Many of the videos that used the exploit that I initially found were removed, but not all. </Angled> said that YouTube will probably get around to it eventually.

I personally could not find a technical pattern for why some porn videos that used the exploit were removed and others were not. All I noticed is that the porn videos featuring live performers were gone while the hentai was still live.

I emailed Google spokesperson Jack Malon with a detailed explanation of how the exploit works, and a link to one of the deleted videos, including a screenshot of that video’s thumbnail and title generated in a Discord preview. At first, Malon asked me if I could send him a link to one of the videos that wasn’t removed, and to clarify “the purpose of highlighting it.” I explained that the people who were using the exploit thought that YouTube will not be able to find the porn they uploaded to the platform unless someone pointed YouTube at the videos directly. So, me sharing the video would directly undercut what I was trying to verify—whether YouTube actually had the capability of finding these videos itself.

At 10:45PM ET we got on a call, and Malon again said that Google would not be able to comment on whether or not it fixed an exploit, and whether anyone used this exploit to upload porn to the platform, unless I sent him a link to live video that used the exploit, despite Google already having a link to a video it removed.

After the call I sent Malon a link to a video, which was quickly removed. “We're aware that a small number of videos may have remained on YouTube following a channel termination,” he said. “We're working to fix this and remove the content from the platform.”

funny you mention that in response to a 404 media article since

https://www.404media.co/inside-the-secretive-world-of-youtube-porn/

quote:

But that doesn’t mean nudity and sexual content doesn’t exist on YouTube. Last month, I dove into a community of people who scour the platform for videos containing nudity, the more explicit the better. I was surprised to learn just how much of this content exists, and how easy it is to find once you know what to search for. I even managed to join an exclusive Discord channel where people share the rarest, least known explicit YouTube videos, and methods on how to find them, which you can only be admitted to by offering nude videos you’ve discovered on your own.

The kind of nude videos these connoisseurs share fall into a few distinct categories, the most predictable of which is brief nudity in scenes from movies posted to YouTube. For example, 2009’s Powder Blue is not a memorable movie. In fact, I didn’t even know it existed until it popped up in the YouTubeTitties subreddit, a community for sharing YouTube videos that feature some nudity, where one user shared a striptease scene featuring Jessica Biel.

Overall, the video contains just a few seconds of nudity, which either slipped undetected by YouTube’s moderation, or actually didn’t violate its Community Guidelines, which state that nudity is allowed in a video if its “primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic.” Like most of the content YouTube’s porn hunters find, this one falls into a gray area. The Biel scene is from a real feature film, and therefore artistic for anyone who cares to make that argument, but YouTube’s guidelines state that “Clips extracted from non-pornographic films, shows, or other content in order to isolate sexual content (real world or artistic),” are not allowed. The subreddit is filled with videos of such scenes, or videos of model photoshoots, which feature casual and (probably?) artistic nudity

The educational category YouTube’s guidelines describe is a bit trickier and gnarlier. There are many YouTube videos about breast milk expression and breast pumps that are legitimately informative. Just search for related terms and you’ll find something useful, like this video from Texas Health and Human Services. I am less certain of the educational value of a YouTube video titled “Educational Breast Milk Hand ExpressionHow to express milk,” which is a woman with large breasts massaging—seductively, I would argue—her breasts to no visible effect for 2:33 minutes. The video is tagged with #educational #learning #breastmilk, and includes the following nonsensical description:

This video is for educational purposes only it may include fragments of a woman's breast. They are not considered as sexual contact and used only to show the process of breastfeeding breast pump of medical massage it is recommended not to watch it for the presentatives [sic] of the countries in which a naked woman's breast be the subject of abuse.

The video was posted on March 13, 2023, and has almost 3.2 million views. I have contacted dozens of lactation consultants from across the country, most of which did not respond to a request for comment, and a couple who declined to comment on the educational value of this video, understandably. First, it was admittedly a very odd request. Second, mothers are subject to all sorts of gawking and discrimination for breastfeeding in public, so questioning the validity of any breast feeding video is probably not in their interest. That being said, my wife is pregnant and we’re both educating ourselves on breastfeeding, and this video does not offer any educational value we can discern.

As the top comment on it before it was removed summed it up: “Thank you for showing us this highly effective and viable technique! I milked myself 3 times already and I am not even a woman. Truly, very educational!”

Again, this is not to say there are no legitimately educational videos on YouTube that contain nudity. There are many, and that’s great. Some are about breastfeeding, but they can also be about personal grooming. In recent months, a YouTuber named Kevin Leonardo has gone viral for an instructional video where he uses Nair hair removal cream on his rear end in a top hat, showing the entire process with multiple closeups. The video has 45 million views, and is filled with grateful comments praising Leonardo for his useful tips.

“This is unironically good content. Straight to the point, no bullshit, informative, and even warns you about the consequences. Respect,” one commenter said.

On Reddit, one user named fapworthy_youtube has taken it upon themselves to make highly organized guides to highly specific subreddits on the topic, and then wrote a specific guide to finding YouTube nudity which is almost encyclopedic in nature and tone and features dozens of different subreddits, each with slightly different rules and specializations.

"r/youtubepussy specializes in videos that show vaginas. Anytime I see a vagina on YouTube, I post it here," fapworthy wrote in their guide.
👄

Anyone who’s interested can join a whole network of communities dedicated to finding such videos. There’s r/YouTubeTitties, r/youtubenaked, r/youtubedicks, r/LewdYoutube, and r/HentaiYoutube to name just a few.

But these communities being open are both a gift and a curse to those dedicated to finding adult content on YouTube: More people can pitch in, but the videos get more attention, are more easily found, and are often taken down quickly. Browse through YouTubetitties and you’ll notice that by the time you get to them, many of the top posts are sharing videos that have already been removed.

“Educational Breast Milk Hand ExpressionHow to express milk,” was also removed a few weeks after I found it.

To find the rare, explicit videos which are less likely to be removed, connoisseurs need to to be more discreet and discerning.

“Want to see the most rare, unlisted, and least viewed YouTube porn videos? The ones that would get instantly banned if they were posted here?” asks a post on r/BannedYouTube. “Maybe you're ready to join the discord. Or maybe you aren't. It's an exclusive club, and only the most committed Youtube porn searchers can reach the inner sanctum.”

The most important rule, the post said, is that the videos shared there should never be posted to Reddit, or anywhere else.

Joining the Discord was not as simple as finding an invite link. I had to apply by submitting two videos that fulfilled the following requirements, as posted to Reddit:

Contains visible nudity
Has less than 500,000 views at the time of review
Was uploaded more than 48 hours ago
Be live on YouTube at the time of review
Not be from the same channel
Be timestamped if nudity is brief

Jason initially sent me this page, which I took as a challenge. I accepted immediately.

It only took me a few minutes of perusing the various lewd YouTube subreddits to figure out what most people were doing to find these videos. I tried finding some videos myself, and it was shockingly easy.

I simply searched for a term that could conceivably be considered educational and was likely to contain nudity—”bikini waxing,” for example—and sorted the results to only show me videos that were uploaded in the last week. I immediately found one of the most graphic, but probably legitimately educational videos I’ve ever seen on YouTube. It is, obviously, a bikini waxing instructional video, and something that it taught me is that sometimes an esthetician will have to spread the labia majora to apply wax.

(As an aside, I don’t doubt the educational value of the video, but the channel that posted it is clearly engaged in some content theft and horny click farming. In addition to the waxing instructional video, the channel has posted ASMR and makeup videos from a variety of other creators, and links to an inauthentic account on a site for selling adult content.)
An example of the kind of educational videos that are allowed on YouTube.

Once I saw how easily this search strategy worked, I did the exact same thing again and found another waxing video that met the criteria. Both videos were newly uploaded when I found them so I waited an agonizing 48 hours for them to age, checking every few hours to see if they were removed. Once both videos reached 48 hours, I submitted them to the Discord, and waited for a response. At first I thought the videos were silently rejected, but the next day I checked the Discord and saw I had access to more channels where people were sharing more videos.

I was in.

The Discord is filled with a lot of enlightening tips on how to find adult content on YouTube, and some interesting but unconfirmed theories.

For example, some users believe that it is easier to find adult content on YouTube when searching in non-English languages, either because YouTube is not as good as moderating foreign languages (something that’s been true about moderation on other platforms), or moderators speaking those languages are more lenient. Others say not to search for words like “sex,” “porn,” and “XXX,” or intentionally excluding them by typing “-sex,” because those are two easily detected. “The point is just searching for stuff randomly,” one user said.

“There is no way to do this without enthusiast levels of time commitment. You should always expect to spend multiple hours searching before finding much.”

One particularly ingenious method suggests searching for specific file types, and uploading conventions associated with specific devices. “MOV0001.MOV,” for example, is often used by older Canon digital cameras, while “DJI_0001.MP4” is associated with DJI drones.

Coupled with narrow search dates, for example, "after:2016/1/1" "before:2016/2/1,” this method can yield some good results, according to the Discord, because YouTube will only present videos in that range, as opposed to the site’s entire history, which tends to surface more popular, and therefore less likely to be explicit videos.

“95% of what you're trying to do is prevent highly viewed videos from ending up in your results. More views = more potential reports = less chance of video being worthwhile,” one Discord member wrote. “There is no way to do this without enthusiast levels of time commitment. You should always expect to spend multiple hours searching before finding much. Manage your expectations and understand that the people who find tons of videos, spend tons of time looking for them.”

While the tips were illuminating, I was underwhelmed by most of the videos I saw in the Discord.

Users shared videos they found on YouTube across a long list of channels with names like “anime-softcore,” “clothed-sex,” “hygiene,” “massage,” “nip-slips,” and “waxing-and-bleaching.” There’s a channel just for body paint videos, which contain plenty of nudity, but it was all rather tame, or very clinical. If a video was really pornographic, it was either removed by the time I got to it, or shortly thereafter.

It was then I realized that I had only entered the first level of the exclusive club of YouTube porn searchers. The categories I was seeing were those that were available to “Initiates,” people who had just joined the Discord by submitting two previously unknown videos. In order to see even more exclusive content, I had to submit more videos, which will earn me “experience” to rank up.

“Members (Rank II),” have access to more rooms, like “hentai,” “pussy-peeks,” and “straight.” “Regulars (Rank III),” have access to “gay,” “lesbian,” and “transgender.” “Veterans (Rank IV)” have access to a VIP chat, the “vault,” “taboo-and-fetishes,” and unlisted videos. Finally, “Old Guard (Rank V)” have access to “some secret perks.”

powershell has multiple aliases for a lot of commands. It's pretty dumb and causes problems if you try to use the aliases when you're using powershell on linux so the official recommendation seems to be to always use the full names which also sucks because they're so insanely long

I think it would be better if the stuck to a single alias for each command and/or just had slightly less verbose names in the first place

The only real advantage is that if you're used to linux and you sit down in front of a powershell interpreter you may be able to find the command you want just by entering linux commands until you get an alias for the right thing
