Here’s what I mean:
The channel I’m talking about is SierraEducation (link here) -and it’s pretty unusual. At first glance, it might seem a little strange, but it’s growing fast, and the views are off the charts. As of now, the stats are crazy.
However, when it comes to the actual content, it's a different story. The videos are pretty sexualized, and they feel random and kind of low quality. Honestly, there’s not much to them in terms of real educational value.
Some people might argue that the channel is using fake views or “botted” traffic, but based on what I’ve seen, I don’t think that’s the case. I checked through the comments, and it looks like many viewers are coming from Twitter- there were even comments asking, “Who else is here from Twitter?” So, I don’t think all the views are just from there.
What’s interesting is the content itself. Usually, YouTube cracks down on videos that are too sexual, like showing too much skin or inappropriate images. But this channel is getting away with it, likely because it’s being framed as an “educational” channel—specifically one that teaches moms how to breastfeed. In that context, the content makes more sense, even though it’s pretty suggestive. That’s probably why YouTube hasn’t taken it down yet.
That said, I’m not sure how long this channel will last. YouTube is really strict about these kinds of videos, and we all know how quickly things can get shut down. But for now, it’s doing well.
It feels like there might be a loophole here- using the "educational" label to slip past YouTube's usual rules, which might be letting them get away with content that’s borderline inappropriate.
Let’s be real: I don’t think most people are watching these videos for educational reasons. And I’d guess that the majority of the viewers aren’t women, either.
So, what do you think? Is this channel just taking advantage of a loophole, or is it something else entirely?
