These were literally _lectures_ containing images from pornography because it was _part of the lecture_.
IIUC you're suggesting people -- academic lecturers, no less, not professional streamers -- splice out sections of their lecture, replace them with a content warning, provide a contextual link to the "risky" content, and then hope that people will follow it, jump right back to the original lecture, and then come back? (And that somehow that link won't trigger the same YouTube content flag, b/c obviously they're going to at least broadly categorize outbound links to combat spam.)
This (meaning HN) community regularly nerds out over SEO, landing page optimization, and zero-friction payment flows. Why should we expect educators to be successful delivering complex content in an approachable way if we're also going to require them to carefully slice their content into "acceptable" and "NSFW" segments and deliver them separately, even when the original lecture was linear?
- SpicyLemonZest 4y agoWe shouldn't expect them to be! I just don't think it's tremendously important whether educators can effectively deliver complex pornographic lectures on Youtube.
- lupire 4y agoRight, why should YouTube have material that helps people thinks and build a better world, instead of emptying their pockets to consume junk.
- fatherzine 4y agoI absolutely suggest that pornography should not be part of "lectures". Being an "academic lecturer" is not an excuse for appalling behavior. Put the pornography behind a signup wall managed by your uni, and then when you upload to YouTube the hyperlinks are broken and there are no NSFW flags to trip over. Why? Because decency, that's why.
- lupire 4y agoOppressive definitions of "decency" is exactly the problem. Your comment is circular.
