I'm dumbfounded by the downvotes your perfectly legitimate question is getting. I think these enterprising ladies just found a way to beat YouTube's AI identifiers of NSFW content, and deserve to rake in the add revenue while it lasts.

Channels can't monetize "Adult Content" according to "Advertiser-friendly content guidelines" from YouTube [1]. Each video I encountered was clearly marked by AI for such content. It requires human intervention to successfully verify a claim that the content is educational. I doubt most of these spam YouTube accounts are doing this. (I'm claiming spam because separate accounts are copying and pasting the same video descriptions.) It's sad to see really. Naked yoga is really great outside of this exploitation. Videos with no verbal instructions and non-instructional shots of genitalia kill the spirit of the practice. Such a shame.

Thats the issue with the voting systems on reddit and HN.

People get to downvote anonymously and don't even have to provide reasons.
