XVideos: Blocked until review - This video is currently blocked and will be reviewed before being released..

Hi, I'm basically having the same problem discussed in here but the topic was old and locked and couldn't reply there:

https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/xvideo-content-on-hold-blocked-until-review.1440901/
I got a full verified model/channel profile on Xvideos since 2020, hundreds of video produced and uploaded, millions of views and never had any problems or videos takedowns.

It started 4 days ago, and I thought and hope it was on a single video, then I uploaded another two, one free and 2 on the RED, and all 3 are getting the Blocked until review messages.

I immediately contacted support, still haven't got any answer.

All the other videos are still going, and I'm still getting earning payments and counted, the only problem is with new videos that get automatically "Blocked until review" the moment they finish to get uploaded, even before getting encoded.

Are the people on the other topic kind enough to tell me if and how they solved it, or anybody else who had the same problem?

Thanks.

They might just be getting stricter on their moderation policies. A bunch of states in the USA have passed or are about to pass laws that are going to make life difficult for adult sites serving the US market. I've been in the biz almost a decade....I'm losing a lot of sleep over this shit.

Pornhub just implemented mandatory age verification in Louisiana and completely blocked all Utah traffic. This is a very real and scary development in the adult industry. It's happening in real time.

Well it's been a week and nothing has changed so far, I don't know about laws or moderation policies, I'm from Europe and I'm a verified model on pornhub, xhamster, manyvids and onlyfans too and I'm only getting this problem on xvideos. The only time I needed to contact support about 2 years ago there they took 2 months to reply and they said they were sorry my message got lost in the system. I'm starting to worry that it will take just as long this time too and the channel will suffer quite a lot. I typically upload almost one video per day.

Xvideos support is worthless and almost non-existent. Sometimes you can take advantage of that though.

Yeah that really sucks, everything is still unchanged and no response from them, the only thing that actually changed is that it doesn't says blocked until review anymore, but delayed until review:

Uploaded onApr 28, 2023

Status: Delayed until review Delayed until review - This video is currently blocked and will be reviewed before being released..

I lost almost half the worldwide average points and the earnings are already 20% lower than usually and they keep going down day after day.

I'm also basically wasting 1 hour per day every day replying to private msgs explaining why I'm not uploading new videos anymore.

If you use in titles / tags some keywords of teen, incest, etc niches - they automatically blocks these videos for review.

I don't know, I often use terms like 'step fantasy', 'step sisters', 'step moms', and 'step daughters' in my video titles and tags, and I've never had any issues before.

This seems to be affecting my account as a whole rather than just individual videos as I already said I recently uploaded two new videos, one free and two RED, with completely normal titles and tags, but they also got blocked until review.

I'm still able to upload new photos and albums, but I can no longer upload videos apparently as they're instantly blocked until reviewed.

How much time they take usually when that's the case btw?

This is very true.

I do not know, but I doubt that they have any support.

I did porn upload sometimes back, this happened to me too, and I figured why, it happens when your video contains sensitive keywords in tags or title, xvideoe place it under review, ofcourse it just stays under review, no one is going to attend to it.

Looks like you were right, I finally received a response from support after exactly one month, and they confirmed that it's most likely the case.:

Hello,
something in your videos triggered a flag.
It can be either titles, tags, or content. The videos must be reviewed before release.
The review team has a huge queue of videos to go through, so it can take a few days or weeks.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we, unfortunately, cannot make the process faster.
These are compliance procedures.

The good news is that new videos uploaded are now working again, but obviously those 3 are still "Delayed until review" and as someone said, they will probably stay like that forever.

I still don't understand the cause behind this, I haven't posted anything different from our usual production and uploads, and all the other platforms accepted those 3 videos (OnlyFans, Xhamster, Fansly, Pornhub, Manyvids, and FapHouse) with the same content, title and tags.

I have the same problem.
from my experience it's caused by some "touchy" tags, I just avoid all "touchy" and "extrems" tags on my news videos and so far so good.
