For the last week or so, I notice the little thumbnails along the right side of Youtube's layout - there is a lot of nudity.

I even saw some sex scenes.  I haven't searched for anything like that (for the main reason is I thought YouTube didnt have anything like that)

But lately, I am noticiing instances of it, regardless of what I am looking @.  

I understand (somewhat) the algorithm used to show similar videos on the right column - so I can see how it is a mix of a variety of things I look @ on YouTube, but it just seems to always have nudity in it lately.

Has the policy changed, or are the interweb gods telling me Im a perv ?

Anyone else notice this ?

Here is a quick example (I covered up the nips and pubic area so it wouldnt get censored from neo mods)  hopefully

It will pop up in nearly every search string (meaning it has probably been adopted into my search algorithm) OR .. they are all over the place !   BOOBS !!!

Nudity and sex have generally been disallowed in Youtube for like ever

Of course you can still find it, won't get pulled till it's reported, plus there's a lot of troll accounts that post thumbnails with "nudity" in it to get clicks, but nothing in the actual videos

Question is, what were you searching for that got these suggestions on your feed

Yeah i notice it too, most of the time they would appear on "Recently uploaded" or "Recommended videos for you".

But i don't see the point, as free porn video websites are abundant these days and they usually did not have in-video ads-clips, unlike YT..,

You'd be surpised. I have had them show up for "golf babe videos," when I am looking for PGA highlights. I have never once searched youtube for anything provacative, we have google for that, yet I get these random thumbnails. Another example is "hot babes in fast cars, reaction videos" which show up after some time of browsing street racing videos.

Funny thing is, nothing directly related to nudity - I can see patterns, and see how it might work its way in due to their SE algorithms - (that title/topic of the nude thumb video might have something in common with a topic I looked @)

But like others mentioned, if I was going to look for something like that - I wouldnt do it in YouTube.  maybe PornTube, RedTube, or .....  ohh whoops

You looked at some similar sex related video, now you're getting recommendations, it's normal.

The very naughty thumbs get deleted within hours, Google has people working on these since forever.


Not searched directly, but sometimes I can see a common topic, others, the nudity in the thumbnail doesnt make sense.


I just never noticed it until now - so I thought either (a) its new  (b)  I never noticed it before (c) there is some crumb of a cookie which is causing these recessed vids to come through (d) there is a god, and he likes me.

( (d) cant be true - so it has to be one of the others)

If its for breast feeding they allow it. There's videos out there that show full on frontal nudity  but because its about breast feeding it was allowed. I dont know if its still up or not but I stumbled on it once.

I like how I'll watch a video on something mundane like what tools to use to cut a rock and half of the thumbnails on the right will be women's asses. I don't see the relationship.

Usually those videos get a ton of dislikes because they bait people in.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
