I have a concern. Serious one.

Right? She must be busy with all this I think.

Maybe start a separate channel that's only ear licking asmr and post updates on your main channel that links to it. You can also use a vpn and pretend to be from America when using that other channel.

This is sadly a long-time global trend on Youtube, not necessarily exclusive to Youtube Korea. The problem is that the videos being uploaded are automatically reviewed by the bot/algorithm, before they are even published. If certain words are used in the tags or title, the video may be flagged as advertiser non-friendly, thus demonetized. This affects so many other genres/types of videos too, other than just ASMR, videos discussing political ideas, war, death or suicide, mental health or any other topic deemed controversial get treated the same. The loss of potential revenue for these videos is the price you pay for a free platform like Youtube where generally all the money generated is from advertisement. Since there is big money involved, a lot of advertisers are understandably careful with where to place their ads. By principle I always opt out of telling my opinion on how people should run their businesses, but since you asked for our advice, I will give mine. I am worried that closing down your previous ear eating (or similar) videos from the general public will make a hit on your channels steady growth, since those are usually the most viewed ones and the most potential videos to draw people to watch more of your content. I am also worried that making these videos strictly behind the paywall for Patreon-users-only can make others think you have become a sell-out, an image that is very hard for anyone to get rid of. My advice is to keep the old ones open, and make an occasional new ear eating videos public in Youtube, but with a heavier focus on producing most of them to Patreon only. To be honest the best advice I can give you is to find a good balance of profit/exposure so that you may still thrive while pursuing your goals. NOTE: on your Youtube channel description, the Patreon link is broken. It misses the final letter “L” from patreon.com/eunzel. Also it might be worth to check Reddit on this subject for more ideas and advice from other people.

Sen Tenshi

I've seen other ASMRtist doing things like this, but it's mostly for intended sexual content, like "girlfriend roleplay" video, so they post a preview on youtube wich is clean and the full video on Naver Cafe. I don't know what is the impact on their chanel tho. It's weird that your videos get age restricted, since there is no heavy breathing or moaning or anything like that. But i think, as long as you offer content on your chanel, most people will stay, and you might get more patrons by doing that. But it means, more work for you, because you still need to post content on youtube too. (So ... MOARRR ASMR FOR US muhahaha. :P ) Your pick, like said, i'll support you either way. (Btw, have you already send those custom voice message ? Oo )

Youtube can sometimes be really dumb about those ages restrictions. I don't know if the fact that youtube korea doesn't like those type of videos is going to put you in trouble or not. If so , I think it may be a good idea. In any case, I'll support you whatever your choice is.! :)
