dear Coilers, some of you may be Cinnamon Video users too. If you are, you might have seen a tweet which will not age well in the end.

Making yourself being better than those who censor content by promoting nudity as fighting censorship cannot be a good thing.

I’ve asked...

...but I haven’t got an answer. Which I haven’t expected to get as I’m sure that Cinn staff are aware of what they have done.

Now they have to plan their Damage Control before they post public release or whatever they will do.

In the meantime they’ve done this...

...before you can play ANY video on the platform you are shown this warning!!!

Tell me honestly, if you haven’t known what Cinnamon Video was about but was just told it was a video posting platform and you saw this before any video was played, what would you think?

Would you think it was a YT kind of platform or kind of a Pornhub one?

I am on Cinnamon since it’s very beginning and I truly care and want the platform to succeed and become the example of Web Monetization in video content making.

But to become that, the rules have to be set!

What is “non censored” platform and does it include nudity?

What is nudity and does it include sexual intercourse only of the boobs are nudity too?

If nudity is sexual intercourse only, then what is sexual intercourse? Is it penetration only or it is...

... I hope you got my point?!

I don’t have anything against nudity or porn but there are places for that kind of content. If the platform is ok with it, the rules have to be precise so all the creators know what kind of content they can post as well as what kind of content can be expected by users.

As well, nudity in art (for those who would ask) is ok until it isn’t porn.

NO! Please don’t start with that argument!... we all know and can differ porn from non porn!

My other line of thinking was that if you allow 1 video with nudity, you can expect thousands more to come. If the platform wants it, OK, I have nothing against it. If they do not want it, OK, I am for it!

My personal wishes are Cinnamon Video not to become a porn site and the videos not to have a warning before they are played.

On the other hand, I am against censoring any lingual deviations as freedom of speech is one of the rights I value the most.

I don’t want nor plan to tell Cinnamon Video what to do. But they have to decide an openly say it. Whatever they decide will be respected as they have full right to choose the way they want to go.

One more thing!!!

It is interesting that people are afraid to ask questions openly!

Am I the only one with balls to ask? I got many messages with people saying they agree with me but NONE of the public support, apart from our dear John! Thanks John!

(Maybe there was someone else. If there was I apologise and thank you too.)

Or... people simply DON’T care about the future of the platform but care for their present positions on it only?!

Their right, I give them that!

Dear Cinnamon, please handle this one! You have full support from most of us the creators and we want your success as much as you do.

Admitting a mistake (if it was one) just adds to genuinity!

Thanks for reading,
