Sacred Sexuality, Episode One - Video Restricted (!)

Edit: Glorian knows about this and has appealed it. But I will leave this here to show what damage age restriction can do, and that the video easily does not violate YouTube's guidelines.

Sacred Sexuality, Episode One has been Age Restricted. This means YouTube removes features to share the video such as embedding, blocks under 18 year olds from viewing the video, and blocks people from viewing the video who are not signed into a YouTube account. This can also stunt the video being promoted in the YouTube algorithm, meaning many people might not be able to find it.

This is very serious. I sent an email but thought I should post here as well for the instructors on this forum. This might have been caused by an AI, or it could have been reported by another user and instantly blocked. YouTube does not personally review these things, most of these kinds of restrictions are automatic. This could very well be disputed and brought to YouTube's attention. The longer it is age restricted, the more it could slow the video's growth, and prevent new people from accessing it.

Edit: Here is the complete list of reasons YouTube age restricts a video:

Child safety
A video containing adults participating in dangerous activities that minors could easily imitate, such as handling explosives or challenges that cause bodily injury
A video meant for adult audiences but could easily be confused with family content
Note: Your "made for kids" settings won't impact age restrictions on your videos.

Harmful or dangerous activities, including regulated substances and drugs
A video about fake harmful pranks that seems so real that viewers can't tell the difference
A video promoting a cannabis dispensary

Nudity and sexually suggestive content
A video that invites sexual activity, such as provocative dancing or fondling
A video where the subject is in a pose that is intended to sexually arouse the viewer
A video where the subject is in clothing that is considered unacceptable in public contexts, such as lingerie

Violent or graphic content
A video with context showing survivor's injuries in a major road accident
A video focused on violent or gory imagery, such as focusing solely on the most graphically violent part of a film or video game

Vulgar language
A video with heavy profanity in the title, thumbnail or associated metadata
A video focused on the use of profanities such as a compilation or clips taken out of context

I believe that it could be easily proven that Glorian's video does not violate the above guidelines.
